[Resolved]  India Today / Bagittoday — Jal & Paryavaran Sanrakshan Samithi's irreegularities

Address:201009

I was informed on 17th March 2011 by Bagit India Today that my name had featured in a lucky draw and requested me to deposit INR 25, 000 into the State Bank of India A/c No.[protected]of JAL & PARYAVARAN SANRAKSHAN SAMITHI. I had deposited cash into the aforementioned bank account on 21st March 2011. I was promised that I would be forwarded a certificate under IT Section 80G for donationswhich can be claimed as deduction in my Income Tax Returns for the Financial Year 2010-11. Besides this, they also promised me that I would get a Sony Viao Laptop / Sony 50" TV, as mentioned in their e mail. I tried reaching them on[protected] but in vain. I approached SBI branch in Hyderabad and found out that the bank a/c belongs to Jal & Paryavaran Sanrakshan Samithi and someone who has the access of bank a/c is withdrawing the amounts soon after the credits in the account and leaving a minimum balance of INR 5, 000, meaning that there were many people got duped by the tricksters. I had complained about this to the Managing Director of Jal & Paryavaran Sanrakshan Samithi, Harora Road, Simbho Aligarh, Ghaziabad 201009, thru registered post. I received a threatening call from the Secretary (0091 [protected])of MD asking me as to why did I write a letter complaining about the irregularities in their organization. After this they have stopped taking my calls. I would like to bring this to the notice of the organization and get the culprits punished and make arrangements to return the amounts to the honest depositors like me. Thank you !

Dear Consumer Complaints Team,

I would like to review my complaint on Jal & Paryavaran Samrakshan Samithi as the amount of INR 25, 000.00 deposited by me in the SBI Bank Account No.[protected] is indeed belongs to them and the amount was withdrawn by them soon after the amount got deposited in their account by the cheated customers. The account number was confirmed by the State Bank of India itself.
Jal & Paryavaran Sanrakshan Samithi should take the sole responsibility in returning the amount of INR 25, 000.00 as the SBI account belongs to them and they have withdrawn from their account.

Request you to kindly take stringent action on the offenders / miscreants and warn the organization with dire legal consequences. Their telephone number is still active on [protected].

Kindly follow up on this case once again for my sake please !
Thank you !
