i had given cheque no.435201 drawn on BANK OF BARODA, GALIYAKOT, DATED 25-07-09.FOR THE

WORLD HISTORY BOOK, BUT TILL DATE HAS NOT RECD THE BOOK & THE FREE GIFT..

CALLED[protected] BUT NO RESPONSE.

KINDLY DO THE NEEDFUL..

Kind Attn: Mr.Nawed, Mr.Chetan Arya & Mr.Amit Kumar

Ref: ITBC09125358 Dated.02.11.2009.

Dear Sir

I deeply regret to state despite my repeated reports no response has been shown at your end to make good my loss of getting the materials not sent by you. Each and every time I am receiving a filmsy reply that the matter has been forwarded to the department concerned and you would revert as soon as report from the department is received. It is also observed that the same reply is sent by different people on different occasions.



I really wonder to note such a lapse on the part of a reputed and reliable organization like INDIA TODAY. May I presume that your organization is not able to take any remedial steps to help your customer and trying to cheat by simply sending irresponsible replies each and every time by different peoples for nearly 45days since my first complaint dated 29.10.2009.



I still hope that appropriate action will be taken immediately to send the materials omitted to be sent as detailed in my mail dated 29.10.2009, to restrain me to take up the matter with the CONSUMER REDRESSAL FORUM.



Kindly note if no fruitful action is taken by you and communicated to me on or before 19.12.2009, suitable action will be taken against you as aforesaid.



Thanking You



Yours faithfully

India Book Club — fraud

I do not wish to address this mail with any salutaion and hence pls excuse me for being curt, rude and straight

This is shameless and completely unacceptable that a book club of your repute and stature is employing qualified thieves, liars and .
I wish to place on record the conversation that happened with my husband Mr Sanjeev Kumar Julka on 02.03.10, the call came from the number 45188600 informing him about his being selected as one of the top 15 names who are being rewarded by the book club. Upon detailed disucssion it came to light that if the customer buys any two products he would be ASSURED OF A CHEQUE WORTH RS1 LAC from the club. To this the customer asked as to how come the company is offering such a big amount without any reason and the girl on the other side promptly and confidently replied that pls don't doubt or worry it is actually true. She also confirmed that after placing the order my husband would be receiving a confirmation mail on his mail id regarding the same which obviously did not arrive even the next day. To this my husband callend on the call c entre number PH No 40502424 and naratted the whole incident and a staff confirmed that there is no such scheme going on and this is a lie. Please note that the order nos given were[protected] amd[protected]. My husband was totally shocked and horrified that the amount had been debited from his credit card and he had been duped he immediately placed the cancellation on 03.03.10 and the nos given were 392083 and 392067. The call centre informed that the money would be returned after 21 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. It took two seconds to debit the amount and is taking 21 days for you to return a money that was taken by your fraud employee.

I am not writing anything else but a copy of this is being sent to the crime branch of CBI to investigate and round up the fraudster calling. I will make sure that the guilty are punished and dragged to the court of law for making a fool out of people who trust and are loyal customers. Pls do not try to send me any free gifts to close this call since this matter is going to be brought to the notice of many such authorities including the consurmer forum. I am agitated and aggrevied at this and demand immediate return of my money and the organisation must deal with such employees very stirctly and harshly.


Thanks and Regards,

India Today Book Club — Fraud by the company

On Oct. 8, 2010 I got a call from India Today Book Club telling that I have won a gift hamper and will have to pay Rs. 7498/- thru my credit card to avail the same at discounted price. I gave them my credit card no. and on being asked thru IRB machine fed my code. After that they told that I will get a gift voucher of Diamond jewelry worth Rs. 15000/- . Then again they told that the gift voucher is being increased to Rs. 30000/- and I will have to pay Rs. 10998/- to purchase a Mobile Set from them.

Sensing trouble and feeling that this is a fraudulent call, I told them that I don't need the offer and want to pull out of this. They told that the amount has already been debited from my credit card and it can't be canceled. I disconnected the call. Thru this complaint I want to inform all to keep away from this type of schemes lest you may be cheated.

ITBC India Today Book Club — Fraud run by ITBC

Dear Sir,
There are endless thousands of complaint against India Today Book Club or Bag It Today. I wonder why the govt do not take any action against them. Is the chief justice is waiting to be cheated himself by ITBC or he is waiting for someone to complaint. Or because ITBC is a big group and may have a political background.
People are suffering and I am one of them who has been cheated by them.

Please take some action stop people been exploited from them.

India Today Book Club — Cheating Customers

I was a customer of India Today Book Club since 3 years. I Used to purchase books from them. Each time they provide a gift with every set of books which we buy but to tell the fact these gifts dont apply at all. if you try to redeem it. It will never happen.I have called the customer care([protected]) and informed them too. they never helped and sometimes they just disconnect the call. They just put these advt to attract customers.Never believe INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB. The quality of paper(ie BOOKs) is like the paper of a rough book(recycled one).
till now i got one gift from(i.e reebok bag).They have informed that it is a brand piece of reebok costing 400.I'm not blind to distinguish the difference between brand item and local item. the bro took that bag to carry his sports items for an athletic meet next day by god's grace he had two pieces of the bag. this in turn will spoil the name of brand company reebok too.
I called them to block all the SMS's and emails they send to ma number and to id but they dont do that too. They just want to irritate the customer. Very soon i'm going to show they how a customer will react to the false promotion given by a company.
My message to all people is

NEVER TRUST INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB AND NEVER BUY ANY BOOKS FROM THEM

regards,
Sherry Antony

India Today Book Club — cheater itbc

sir, I ordered reebok shoes etc.by phone .I recieved through v.p.p..when I opened the parcel the product was different.I complained about it they asked me to return the parcel ,I did the same but I could nor reciev my money, I have written everybody since than. Is there anybody who can help me?

I have ordered one set of Reebok shoes and sandals. but received two parcels and they have deducted twice in my credit card, stating first punching of credit card number not successful, so they asked me punch again.
So i refused to accept the parcel from courier. This was happend in the month of May 2009. i have made complaint through their customer care(total useless). till today, my money not credited back.
Now a days, Customer care (delhi number, not toll free), no body answers after 30 minutes on music.
Please do not buy any items from this shop. Some times, customer care executives half of the way, used diconnect the call intentionally.

My humble request is, get back my money and create awareness about this company promotions.

Thanking you

India Today Book Club — ITBC Is cheater

I had ordered a harddisk on 29th Jan 2010. For which the money was charged to my acct on 2nd of Feb 2010. With that hard disk, I was supposed to get free reebok wallet, keychain, watch and the holiday/airfare.

On 12th Feb I was told that the order is in process.

No delivery till now. When I asked the status on 24th Feb 2010, I was told that the product is out of stock and they are refunding the money. Still no refund as well.

But when I saw on BagItToday on 3rd March 2010, the hard disk (which is supposed to be out of stock) is still being sold. Many more are going to get conned and frustrated just because of this junk of a company.

Seems like ITBC is trying to lure some customer in buying that product, to refund me my money.

Dont fall for such gimmicks.

indiatodaybookclub — cheating

I fell prey to the ads by India Today Book Club & placed orders for a Samsung Mobile Handset & a Fitness Kit. I was promised a free holiday voucher worth Rs.5000/ for a couple for 2N3D anywhere in India & a one way airline ticket on purchases. However, after I received the packages, I tried to log onto their promo page but the page itself was not available on the internet but instead I was directed to the complaint page automatically where I came across 100s of similar complaints from all over India that the India Today Book Club has either sent them faulty products or not responded to their complaints or same as my experience. Moreover, their customer care tel no. is attended by a stooge who does not have any useful information about their operations & is instructed only to irritate the callers.
I wish to ask them a simple question : YOU ARE A REPUTED PUBLISHING HOUSE. WHY DO YOU INDULGE INTO THIS SELLING FIELD WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE EXPERTISE OR BRAINPOWER?

ITBC | Fraudsters and Cheats | Proposal for a Class Action Suit

Hi,

I am Sujata Garimella.

Like you, I too trusted the India Today name and had ordered stuff from ITBC. My experience was awful. I did not get what I ordered for. I did not get the promised "extras". And I did not get any solution either.

This whole nightmare started in September 2009 for me.

To top it all they still keep calling me.

I plan to sue them for Rs. 10 lakhs. I have started an action against them and would like more victims of ITBC's dirty tricks to join in because there is a lot of strength in numbers.
Please click the link below and join in.

http://voip-india.webs.com/itbcsuethem.htm

Like you and me there are lakhs of other victims of ITBC's malpractices. There is a link in the web page above that will take you to a list of the sites on which people have complained. I request you to take the time and send at least 50 of them this mail and ask them to send it forward.

That way we can reach the maximum number of people in the shortest period of time and quickly initiate legal proceedings.

I hope we have 10, 000 people and then, if not getting the money we can at least ensure that the company closes down.

Looking forward to take up arms together with you.

Gosh! what's happening to our country. Always had the highest of opinion for India Today but then this was too much. another reputed company of which you should beware of is Club Mahindra memberships. Another reputed company taking us for a ride

India Today Book Club — Unable to access their sites

As of many I too have placed an order for a best seller pack against India Today Book Club's offer of free adidas bag and free round trip air tickets for two persons. The actual offer price was Rs.499/- but on delivery I paid Rs.699/- plus VPP charge Rs.35/- (Total Rs.734/-). As per their instruction booklet came with the parcel I tried severally to log on to their site to provide the ITBC membership number, invoice number, unique code etc to claim the free gifts but even after 15 days i have not claimed any. I also called severally their New Delhi number but whenever I call they are telling "there is some technical problem" and further they are asking me to log on to their site after 48 hours. Some one please suggest me, is that possible to go legally against India Today or not.

Dear Sir,

I received your pack of seven CDs on December 25, 2008, by VPP and paid the amount of Rs 1050.00
even though you had advertised only Rs 999. The hidden costs were not mentioned in the advertisement.
However, I did not receive the free gifts as advertised and for claiming that, I have been asked to follow a very cumbersome process. In addition, I have to pay another Rs 800.00 (another hidden cost) for claiming the holiday voucher. The free gifts (the holiday voucher and the key chain) could have been easily sent to me alongwith the parcel.
Now, I have decided not to avail of the holiday package. But I do want the wallet and the key chain.
I hope to get my free gift as soon as possible.

I still fail to understand why Track-suit of make Benetton delivered to me instead of Reebok as published in the News Paper.


Awaiting for my free gift & Vouchers.

Thanks

I rerceived 16 CD pack Invoice No. ORA[protected] dt.14.1.09.Since then trying to open given website to claim free gift.Unable to open your site.

My loginweb ID is 1504373 but I am unable to login for claiming the free gift. What should I do.

Respected sir / madam,

I had booked for cd roms with offers and i recived the cd roms by paying Rs 603 by vpp and they asked me to logon to a web id for getting the free offers but it is not possible to log on and it doesnot accept my Id number given by the company .I cant imagine even now such a infame big company can cheat the readers like this.my membership no;ITBCo8582303 i HAVE NO OTHER OPTION EXCEPT GOING TO THE CONSUMER COURT


I had placed an order for Book Set, which promised Free Reebok Tracksuit & and a holiday voucher/coupon for 3days/2nights stay with veg meals for a couple for Rs.2499/- (incl. Rs.500/-) handling charges on Jan., 28th 2009. I have received the Book set and watch but not the adidas bag & holiday voucher as mentioned. Instead the Invoice mentions that to claim the free adidas bag & holiday voucher gift we have to log on to www.bookstoday.in/promos.htm within 60days of the invoice date but to my surprise the said site does not exist. When the remittance was already credited to India Today Book Club, why the bag & Holiday Voucher was not send alongwith the set. In this scenario, if you are not able to log on to the site, one is sure to loose the bag & holiday voucher. This simply seems to be an eyewash. There are already 630* complaints against this company. Has the company ever thought how this in turn going to affect the reputation of the company? It's one kind of cheating.

I cant imagine even now such a in fame big company can cheat the readers like this. My membership no: ITBC09837268.
You are requested to look into the matter on priority basis, otherwise the matter will be put forward to Consumer Forum, and definitely it's going to affect the reputation.

I have purchase 20 devotional song CD for Rs, 2000/- With this offer there were two gifts vouchers offered for jwelery & travel. we are trying to redeem this offer on india today site as stated by book club but unfortuneltly there are 100 of complaint of such nature. We tried on telephone also but same reply we get that site is working pl try. We never thought that such high esteem organization -India today will do such type of cheap forgery. They should be punished severly through court or FIR should be lodged so that in future customers are not duped by such cheap organization.

Another one week delay!!! Do u realise how frustrating this is for me?? All I am asking u is to just confirm that u have received the set of 12 books along with my intimation letter !!!
Why should it take ONE whole week to just confirm such a simple thing?
How much time will it take for processing my refund??

Why was I not informed about these "hidden" charges at the time of giving me the offer, or at the time when I made the payment for the 12 books????!!

I have never received any such clarification / offer in writing from your end, neither the INDIA TODAY executive clarified this over phone.

Even the vouchers that I have received have expired even before I received them!!!

It is very obvious that I have been cheated of my hard earned money. As of now, I am no longer interested in continuing with this offer and I am requesting INDIA TODAY to refund my full amount of Rs. 2, 598/- OR else I have already initiated legal proceedings.

Yes I have finally received the two vouchers (holiday and return air fare) after over a month (despite claims of sending the same within 10 days) and that after multiple phone calls from my side to big city!!!

However, I am not going to utilise the same as I have decided to take legal action against INDIA TODAY for cheating and harassing me.

For your info, the vouchers sent by big city have long expired even before I received them. Secondly, big city is asking me to send DD of Rs.7, 000/- with the flight voucher and also a DD of Rs.899/- with the holiday voucher !!! How then is this scheme FREE???

It is thus that I have decided to go to court with me case. As it is, you peope do not seem to understand my complaint, neither is there any sincere effort to resolve my problem as is evident from the silly responses you are giving below in response to my complaint.

Ziyaad Ginwala.

Trust you to be in the best of health. I have been an avid reader of your INDIA TODAY and MEN's HEALTH magazines for the past so many years and I have a regular subscription to both these magazines. I would like to bring to your notice how I am feeling cheated by INDIA TODAY book club offer.


I was sent an offer on 22nd July (mail is attached below along with the offer as attachment). As per the offer, I was promised a free 2 nights / 3 days holiday along with free return air ticket at select destinations in exchange for my procuring a set of 12 books from India Today Book Club.
I immediately availed of this offer after going thu all terms and conditions and made payment of Rs. 2, 598/- for the books imemdiately thru my CC over phone thru your executive.
I was informed that I shall be receiving further instructions after receiving the books.
Upon receipt of books, I followed the procedure as specified in your website to avail my holiday voucher and flight voucher.
As per procedure, I sent the filled up forms to Bangalore on 28th August for both holiday and flight voucher.
I was to receive the vouchers within 10 working days, however nothing came for the next one month. Upon repeated calling to Bangalore, I finally got my flight voucher.
To my utter shock and surprise, I am informed that I have to now send a DD of Rs. 7000/- towards airprort taxes, etc. along with the select destinations !!!
Please note that this was never communicated to me during any of my converstaions / correspondence with your executives whilst going thru the offer.
I thus feel that someone has cheated me of my money and time and I thus seek your help.
I must also point out here that I have not yet received the holiday voucher !!!
I am enclosing the procedure as well for your reference.
Please also note that thru my reference, 20 of my friends / relatives too had availed of this offer and now all o[censored]s are feeling cheated as no one had informed us either in writing or verbally about the Rs.7000/- extra payment.

I am writing to you as all my efforts at reaching customer care have gone in vain. Even the person who provided the original offer is not answering our calls.

Pls help.

Ziyaad Ginwala
