[Resolved]  Reebok And Countrywide — Scam of scratch cards

I had purchased Reebok shoes Rs 2838 on 26.12.08 vide bill 2100 and TIN [protected] and given a coupon 55182 and scratch card RQYBC4818294 which announced I had won reebok travel bag and Countrywide holiday voucher. When I was asked to send Rd 100 to countrywide I felt some foul play but anyhow sent it. Yesterday I received an SMS number 930521 from countrywide that due to incomplete docs my claim can't be processed.
Now one thing is clear:
1. In every scratch Countrywide gift voucher always comes.
2. Countrywide scheme is a huge scam, as my enquiries have confirmed that hardly 2% winners avail of the holiday scheme.
3. Why is reebok asking its customers to send rs 100 to countrywide.
4. when Reebok bill copy and claim with Rs 100 is send, how this third party objects and what right has it been provided by Reebok under which tripartite agreement.

Already on 8 January, 2009 I have sought the following information under Right to Information Act provided under Constitution of India.



Under the Right to Information Act have again sought information from REEBOK and COUNTRYWIDE :
1. How many flight vouchers to Reebok customers are given by Countrywide?
2. How many people actually avail of the holiday gift voucher scheme under Reebok scratch voucher option?
3. How is it that Holiday voucher invariably comes as one of the prizes?
4. How is it that Reebok has made this tripartite arrangement of sending the money to Countrywide to get the gifts?
5. How much money has Countrywide got through Rs 100 each coupon so far?
6. How much actual expenses on occupancy of its holiday homes by Reebok scratch vouchers have been incurred by Countrywide?
7. If flight vouchers are given why are these given for single person only when holiday scheme is for couple and family?
8. Despite what is stated in Reebok scratch card, how many have got two prizes without holiday gift voucher of Countrywide?
Was this information helpful?

I agree with Mr tribhuvan Mendiratta and his complaint that REEBOK is playing games not only in case of this scratch card scheme but in league with India Today Book Club it is selling goods of 9000 in 3000 as if either its market is gone or the goods are sub sub sub standard. There is something fishy in all the free gifts of shoes with purchase of just 500 etc. India Today and Reebok and many other groups are certainly in league. Government must institute inquiry into logistics of this matter.
I think, it is lack of knowledge of above people. RTI Act does not apply to corporate, it is made only for government and public sectors.
