India Today / BagItToday Complaints & Reviews

Oh my God. I was just browsing the portal and saw the complaints regarding India Today Book Club. To my astonishment it was same with me. I have lodged umpteenth complaints [regarding not getting the promised gifts of books against my subscription Id no ITE1785027] through email but all in vain for almost 8/9 months of my subscription. At last I wrote a letter to Mr Arun Purie, Managing Edit, India Today that on the pretext, i feel like being dupes by the magazine and that I am trashing INDIA TODAY from my readings. Then only within a fortnight i got promised books [that too old and not of my choice] ... which I sold later to the 'raddiwala'.
And I really meant that i am trashing INDIA TODAY from my readings, that I have not renewed my subscription nor I would purchase it from the book stall any more in my life.
They think they are mighty print media and consider themselves invincible in Indian democracy. I hate 'India Today' of their arrogant and fraudulent attitude towards their subscribers.

Hi,

I have been having a tough time dealing with India Today group ! I subscribed for Mens Health in Nov 08. Initially, they did not acknowlede the receipt of my payments for a month, even though the payment for made using my credit card. Later when that issue got resolved, I was told that I will start receiving copies from Jan'09.

When I did not receive my copy till jan 12th, I raised an alarm and their customer care replied that its in transit. So i wainted for a week more, but no copy was delivered. Hence I contacted them again and now they say they cannot do anything and I have to go thru www.wecare24x7.in !! I have no problems following the procedure, but the problem is that they are so lethargic in their replies that it kills ! For instance, I requested wecare24x7 to create my online account so that I can file my missing copy request, but they have not created it till now, even after 5 days !

I did the biggest mistake by subscribing to them. I think it would have been much better to pick up the copies from newstand !

Below are the replies I got ! I must have exchanged almost 20 emails with them, and all turned futile ! Pathetic service ! Should I do a chargeback and finish off the matter or will the senior authorities take some action ?

India Today — poor response for promised gifts along with 1-year subscription

dear sirs,
this is regarding INDIA TODAY's 1-year subscription where they promise offers of a travel kit and encyclopedia CDs as gifts. but after making a purchase they have very poor response to their customers in delivering the gifts. even that they don't communicate with when there is a shortage of stock, unless enquired.it is almost 5 months from the time of purchase but gifts are not yet received. they promise only 8/10 weeks for delivery of the gifts. kindly go through the e-mails from both sides and please see how they cheat on their customers telling this and that. i am exahusted sending them mails and now repent for purchashing this magazine on a false promise.

Dear Mr. Sushanta,



This is with reference to your e-mail.

We apologize for inordinate delay in the delivery of the free gift. The stocks of the said gift "BAG+BRITANICA CD" had finished with us due to the over whelming response from the subscribers. The same were expected earlier but got delayed due to certain unavoidable circumstances. We will be able to get the shipment in another 3-4 weeks and you will be receiving it after that.

We assure you that all possible care shall be taken from our end to deliver you r s ubscription gift.

Please feel free to contact us at[protected] /[protected] for any further assistance/clarification.

dear sir/madam,
after experiencing everything myself and also reading complaints from other people i have come to the conclusion that you are simply befooling the readers.kindly do not send any mails in future and i will not accept the next set of cd's unless i get my previous free gifts.

No response despite my lodging the complaint and reminding them on regular basis over phone/mail.

My order was put in Jan'09 and today is May'09 just 5 months.

Shame on them.

I have buyed a benetton watch from india today book club,i returned the watch due to defect on the very first day,I have already paid Rs.499 at the time of first delievery,but I have not received the returned watch yet.So i request you to send me a replaced benetton watch as soon as possible.

sir mara booking no [protected], jo ki 20 march 2009 ka jo mujha nahi mila,

I had bought many books and CDs from India Today Book Club. I like the fact that their customer care is very helpful. For any kind of information one can usually dial their customer care number at[protected] or by sending an email at [protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com.

these are bloody liars and cheaters. they need to open offices in various district consumer forums

they are hardened scamsters and all the daily news papers carry their half page /full page ads so they don't want to loose that business and will never write anything bad about them!!! So you DUMB customers of INDIA TODAY /BAGITTODAY /TIME are doomed ..!!!

indiatodaybookclub — No unique no.

Firstly I had not placed any other and these people have forcefully delivered a pack of 4 books their bestsellers offer under which if I accept this offer I would get a free Reebok watch.

I was shocked to find that there were only 4 books in the pack. It was asked from me to enter a unique code printed in on my invoice. I have gone through the invoice more than ten times and have tried each and every number possible but it is only saying "You have made incorrect entries. Kindly check and enter once again !!!"

Costumer care is not is responding. Please kindly take the required action to get this matter solved.

Living Media India Limited, India Today Book Club — Offers through e-mail

The e-mail came to me offering the 'Swatch Watch 1541 Chronograph' for Rs.2999.43 + 200.00 handling charges. Additional gift worth Rs. 2500.00 was also offered. I placed order for ONE watch and charged it on my credit card. They executed the order three times and charged me three times even when the card authorization was made only once. Several mails have been sent and phone calls have been made but no solution has been found. In the mean while, I am s5tuck with three watches and have paid three times for it. If reputed companies like Living Media India Limited treats the clients with this kind of approach - how can anyone trust other less reputed companies??

I had call them several time on phone number [protected] but there was no response.

I totally agree you. A reputed company like India Today can go to such an extent no body can imagine..

But the truth is that they are making fool of people and earning money in collusion with on line travel agents.

I have also been victimised. In my case, travel agent was Noida based.

I also purchased CDs, and they promised holiday package. Travel agent asked me to send DD of Rs. 850/- drawn on Indian Bank, Delhi.

These people are all 420 and cheating people.

I RETURNED BACK THE BOOKS SENT TO ME TWICE OF ORDER FOR RS.525/- AND RS.699/- IN MARCH 2008 & JULY 2008 RESP. BUT TILL DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE REFUND OF MY MONEY. EVERY TIME WHEN I HAVE ENQUIRED ON E-MAIL OR TELEPHONE ABOUT THE REFUND THE ANSWER WAS " YOU WILL RECEIVE THE REFUND WITHIN 45 DAYS". I SENT ABOUT 10 E-MAILS BUT I GOT ANSWER ONLY FOR ONE. AS THIS IS CLEAR FROM MY FIRST RETURN OF BOOKS THAT I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THESE OFFERS BUT THEY ARE SENDING THE BOOKS EVERY MONTH.

never purchase anythig from ITBC. it's simply a fraud...be aware

i am also a victim of itbc way of dangling carrots in their offer letters and invoices.when it comes to honour the offers no responsible person comes on line to give a proper reply.they simply advise to look into the great offers .com which never opens.without these offers also we may buy the books or other merchandise in the catalogues.this kind of instigating club members and disappointing them by indiatoday is highly regrettable .yesterday i teliphoned their office thrice .every time a new person came on line and like a parrot everyone said the same story-open the site and you will know the status.what i cannot undrstand is why can"t itbc despatch the offer along with the vpp?afterall no postman will part with the parcel without paying!sincerely hope itbc mends its ways and honours its commitment.

ITBC — confirmation of free gifts

I had received a phone call regarding my selection to sweepstake. I requested for the details on my email. I sent a email seeking the mode of payment and confirmation of the following items which were told by the cutomer care dept., 1) 7 DVDs 2) Air ticket voucher. 3)Holiday voucher. 4)Reebok shoe 5)Beneton watch. While the matter was in correspondece I got an intimation from post office for a payment of Rs.2598/=. On enquiry, yourcustomer care dept apprised me that the packet consists one air ticket voucher and holiday voucher only against the order No.OGA[protected]. Iam further told that the Beneton watch is only for those customers who can make payment through credit card only.
I am at loss to understand the reasons of non coordination between your feedback & order dept. of your esteemed publishing house. My purpose of asking the mode of payment was to save VPP charges because I can pay through credit card or bank draft. I reffered the matter again to your feedback& order dept who advised me to approach your dept. I shall be thankful if you confirm me the despatching of all the four gifts so that I pay accordingly. Requesting for an early response. Mohd. Anis. Dt. 03/01/09.

I have got some emails regarding 60 lakh and 1 kg gold sweepstakes. i want to know about the originality.can it be possible without availing orders as i have cancelled my last order costing 2500. i have been issued the eligibility certificate.pls tell me the truth.

ITBC/Digital Camera — Free gifts not given

Against payment made by me on the 6th Oct, I received my Digital Camera on the 15th inst and since then I have been trying to claim the free gifts offered but to no purpose. This was against the order[protected].
I had placed another order on the same day for a Mobile Phone, which was also paid the same day. ITBC refused receipt of payment till the 21st Oct and finally said there is no stock and refund the money after 3 to 4 weeks. It seems they rotate customers' money for their business.
The offer of free gifts is a deliberate fraud as the website is not accessible and no reply comes forth from the e-mail i.d. they have given. I am totally frustrated spending nearly 12/15 hrs. of call time(Total waste) and exchanging more than 20 e-mails.
If I were inDelhi I would have proceeded against them legally.

indiatoday — nothing received after making payment

offer of 2 wrist watches accepted payment made online ,this was in the month of feb,09 , till date not received anything over and above no refunds given , out of number of mails send only part of them are answered and that too with some query we need this number or bank code etc, twice i had send the hard copy of complaint to their office address but no reply , if you call the helpline they make us wait for 30 minutes and later tell us that they will call us in 2 working but never ever call up, strick action should be taken with these company and all there offers should be banned all over the country and proper lesson should be thought to them heavly penalising them so that they thing twicw before cheating any consumer.

India Today Book Club — Pathetic customer (non)support

I ordered Reebok shoes from India Today Book Club (Order ID[protected] They delivered the shoes however for same feet and with different sizes. On my complain as directed by their customer support I returned the shoes to following address

INDIA TODAY BOOK CLUB
B-47 INDIRA ENCLAVE
NEB SARAI
NEW DELHI-110068


The parcel was returned back to me since no one at India Today Book Club accepted it. When I complained again I was told to return the shoes at same address again however this this time they told us to address it to Ms. Arti who was not available to when the parcel was delivered.

When contacted again India Today Book Club asked us to send the parcel to another new address

India Today Book Club
F-14, 201 Competent House,
Middle Circle, Connaught Place,
New Delhi 110001

The parcel has been accepted however we have not heard since from them.

I would like refund of product amount + charges for 2 couriers from India Today Book Club

I received a response from India Today Book Club. They requested to send the parcel at the same address. This is really pathetic. In complaint I have already mentioned that the parcel has been delivered to their address.

It seems India Today Book Club has not read the complaint completely or not able to understand the complaint.

I got a reply that I will be sent a replacement once the details of the returned shoes have been updated in the India Today Book Club records. It has been more than 20 days since the shoes have been returned back to India Today Book Club however I have not received any response from them.

I would like a refund if they cannot deliver the shoes.

INDIA TODAY BRITANNICA ENCYCLOPEDIA CDS — NON RECEIPT OF HOLIDAY VOUCHER

I had placed an order for 12CDS of Encyclopedia Britannica & Discover, 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., 17th 2009. I have received the 12CDS and Reebok Tracksuit but not the holiday voucher as mentioned. Instead the Invoice mentions that to claim the free 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 Holiday Voucher was not send alongwith the CD & Tracksuit. In this scenario, if you are not able to log on to the site, one is sure to loose the holiday voucher. This simply seems to be an eyewash. There are already 637 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.

You are requested to look into the matter on priority basis, otherwise the matter will be put forward to Consumer Forum, media coverage and definately it's going to affect the reputation.

India Today Book Club — Fraud regarding books

I had taken this offer from ITBC wherein they were providing free return airticket and Adidas bag on buying their Books Buddy pack.When i got the pack 3 weeks ago there were no free gifts, instead they give me some codes and numbers to enter to register for free gifts on their website.It has ben 3 weeks now and the web does not accept the codes given by them.When you call the call center you get unhelpful representatives who parrot lines and the 5 times I called I was told supervisors are in a meeting.I have been writing to their mail response team and all theese people write back is to give them the codes which i have provided 4 times but to no avail.Are there more people who have been cheated like this by ITBC? I am really disgusted and feel cheated by their behaviour and scam.

Oh my God. I was just browsing the portal and saw the complaints regarding India Today Book Club. To my astonishment it was same with me. I have lodged umpteenth complaints [regarding not getting the promised gifts of books against my subscription Id no ITE1785027] through email but all in vain for almost 8/9 months of my subscription. At last I wrote a letter to Mr Arun Purie, Managing Edit, India Today that on the pretext, i feel like being dupes by the magazine and that I am trashing INDIA TODAY from my readings, alongwith all the umpteenth hard copy of the emails send to their wecare [?????????] mail. Then only within a fortnight i got promised books [that too old and not of my choice] ... which I sold later to the 'raddiwala'.
And I really meant that i am trashing INDIA TODAY from my readings, that I have not renewed my subscription nor I would purchase it from the book stall any more in my life.
They think they are mighty print media and consider themselves invincible in Indian democracy. I hate 'India Today' of their arrogant and fraudulent attitude towards their subscribers.

I agree with the comments... After taking the order and after taking the online payment the executives are just bluffing the customers by giving lame excuses... Once they tell about courier delay, another time they will tella bout audit... When try to speak to seniors -sn iors are not available or the line is not transferrable...

This is simply ridiculous. Can you please intervene and refund my money for shoes or help me get what company has promised to supply. It can not happen in the Land of Harishchandra that India Today is cheating 2219 people as on date.

I agree with the complaint. I too suffer for the last seven months.
The reference is as follows
Ref:-My membership NO. ITBC07294502. & order No.0GA[protected]
I am yet to receive my Rebok shoe. The correspondance is going on with their false promises
i.e." pl. Wait few days more", "The concerned Dept has been intimated " "we assure you will receive with in few days", "Your order is processed" etc. BUT SOFAR NO RESULTS.

I placed order on 14th March with Payment through DR card (that is major mistake I did) as second order was on VPP which I got fast while first case still chasing with them with 15 reminders and I am really fedup. they always ask credit card and I did the mistake and payment is done on line through DR card. no option left out and their numbers Toll free and other direct number also tried many times but in middle call disconnected.

Thanks for saving me.
Since last 4 days I have been called regularly by Indiatoday book club for attactive offers.
Just by reading these complaints I will never go for any so called attactive offer.
They are making fool to the people.
they should be sued in the consumer court and such things must be banned.
The government should also look in to such type of fraudulant happenings. These ar 'Cyber Thugs'.

The India Today Book Club promotion campaigns of free holiday/ free flights are a great hoax. Sadly, many readers who associate with the magazine, get fooled by these ads.

I had opted for the 3 nights/2 days vacation offer against the 16 CDs package of Sur, Saaz Aur Taal in february 2009. I got my CDs in time, but the information for claiming the gifts was mailed to me more than 2 months after the expiry of the validity period. The links given in their e-mail www.bigcity.com/ are inaccessible and repeated complaints to their address: [protected]@bicity.com did not elicit any satisfactory response.

The other free gift of Reebok sunglasses did not arrive as promised. Please register my complaint and give this wide publicity.

I fully agree... India today i big thugs... i am really fed up ... i had ordered reebok watches pastmonths but still not received it.i will not accept the order now as i have read the complaints... thanks for saving me from these thugs

I had my doubts about the offer right from the beginning...how can any company offer a gift package of 3 days & 2 nights to any destination in India with free stay in a 3 or 5 star rated hotel + Air tickets for the whole family for just Rs. 3198 worth of goods?? The executive has been calling me continuously from the past 3 days to avail this and somehow I felt this some kind of "making a fool out of people" trick. Now i am happy to have seen this site where i find that so many people have been literally duped by these people. The govt must do something about this kind of activities carried out to cheat innocent people..It is really such a shame that a name like "India Today" can stoop to such levels!

I have also lost rs.3198 . I got call from executive (MUKESH SINGH--emp id-20481)that after paying 3198 rs, i will get 3D/2N holiday free in 3/5 star hotels in any 45 destination for 2 persons & 1 child & also i will get round trip air ticket free for 2 persons which will be valid for 1 year .I asked this executive to make sure 1st that you are saying correct thing & you are not trying to cheat me.Later he called & told that its 100% true what ever i am saying & this offer is for today only.

I paid amt 3198 through credit card & after 10 days, i received bunch of books(around 12 books) & 3 CDs in which one was broken & I didn't recieved any holidays voucher & air ticket

They are cheating us & making us fool. I have called several times atleast 20 times on 40502424 but no -one pickes up the phone & i lost around 200 rs for calling them also

This ITBC should be banned.


So pl

India Today Book Club Chootiya Company hai.

When ever i write to the India Today Book Club customer care, this is the only reply i get, but they are not sending my packet and gift voucher. More over one guy called up and said there was some problem in the data base, so i will receive a call from the senior department and they will resolve the issue he said and his name was (R N Singh) i don't know how many singh's are there to give a fake calls like this, but till date i did not receive any calls as he had told me.

I have received an SMS on the 01.03.2009 informing me that the delivery had been missed.

After calling your customer care today morning i had been informed that the parcel had been refused and hence sent back. Let me make it very clear that no such parcel had reached my house which was refused.

Iam totally annoyed with your service, your response on the phone is very poor. It takes almost 15 to 20 min before some one answers the phone after getting connected to the IVR System. I have spent not less that Rs. 1000/- on the phones till date enquiring about the status of my order.

I shall take care not to place any order on India Today Book club in future and shall inform all my friends and colleagues not to believe on any offers by you.

I request you to have my order delivered to the below mentioned postal address with out any further delay.

I have placed an order for a Swatch Watch vide a.m order in the first week of January 2009.

The order processing confirmation was received by me on 22.01.2009 vide your SMS.

I have received the dispatch confirmation thru SMS on 27.01.2009 stating that the order had been dispatched thru speed post vide parcel no ED[protected]IN on 24.01.2009, the same is yet to be delivered to me.

After repeated enquires about the status of the order on your customer care no[protected] for the past several days, iam yet to get proper feedback from you.

On 10.02.2009 your executive Mr. Azim Khan has informed me that the status shall be known to me by 13.02.2009. After calling him today i was informed that a complaint had been raised to know the status of the order vide COMP 55169.

May i request your good-self to keep me posted on the order status per return.

Regards,

The same thing is happening with me. Although I have received 20 CDs Bhajan CD pack but without any promotional gift. i.e. Shoes/Gift voucher of Return Journey amoungint to Rs. 7000/00 and Rs. 5000/- against holiday vouchers. the same thing is happend with me neither website is opening and if we call the customer care no. the another no. is provided by them and we are not getting the line of the no. provided by them. it is nothing but making us fool. I am deeply shocked with such type of attitute by such a big reputed Co.
Thanks and hope my gifts as promised are delivered to me withou any delay.

I have been trying to contact this funny people over the phone/mail apart from the IVR System there is no other response, as mentioned above in the mail that it will take 10 to 15 days for the delivery, its been a month from the date they have sent me that mail, this is my Membership number ITBC09947037. I really meeting that gentlemen who is started this funny choar bazar, i think its better to visit New Delhi once and take the concern person on task.

i bought a UCB sunglass from indiatoday of rs. 3999/- at a discount. but they sent me an ordinary one costing not more than rs. 50/-. i'm feeling like cheated. donno what to do? but wont spare them for sure.

India Today should do what they promise, they are playing with people, I suggest all the readers to pl. order to India Today and on receipt, ask the post man to return with gift, If the people in mass start doing this then I think India Today will stop this fraud.

i purchsed two holiday gift vouchers from india today book club by paying 5943*2 but still i have not received the promo code since may 09.
i called more than 100 times to india today and big city promotions but with no results .
now i have a strong feeling that india today is one of biggest fraud company in india .
i want my money back .

my membership numer is -itbc094682

dated-11.06.2009

i have purchased some books and a wrist watch worth RS 2598/- and told me that a free air ticket will be received after one month as per your demand with in india, but i confimed later after purchase that only base fare will pay by india today book club that cost is rs 1/, then i return all the parcel to them and i claim for refund from august.2009, from that day they are harrasing/ cheating me i.e your refund will be receive with in 5 day/ 10 day/ 20 day, pls e mail to some body, some time they disconect line ...etc, now i am totaly harrased, i think they wont refund my amount, is there any one to sugest me what to do ?, otherwise i will go to consumer coat,

I have never bought any offers from any telemarketing brand or countless newspaper ads and buy this and get another free coupon. But, this time when i saw the Reebok fitness kit offer from India Today Book Club i couldn’t stop myself from taking this offer.I bought one each for both of my sons who require them as they are both playing tennis in state level competitions. I used to find these branded clothes and gear very expensive and although my sons used to regularly complain i never bought them one. But, they are both very happy. Thanks, to India Today Book club that a middle class man like me could afford such expensive goods for my children.

India Today Book Club — Fraud of ITBC

Somewhere in the month of August 2009, I received a phone call from India Today Book Club regarding an offer that after buying a Kodak Camera worth Rs. 7000/- approximately, I would receive a free coupons for a holiday pack for two and and Air Ticket voucher worth Rs. 5000/- free. I purchased the camera immediately using credit card. I received the camera in next 20-25 days which is not working fine from the first day.

Regarding the free gifts, when I contacted customer care, very hardly I could connect to some person who told me my unique no.[protected]B[protected] and ITBC membership no. ITBC09115485 and guided me to download certain performas from some link and send it to Big City for the redeemption of the free vouchers which I sent in next 15-20 days (Somewhere in the first week of October 2009). Right from that day, I am waiting for those vouchers to come. The contact no. of[protected] is never recieved.

In the first week of January 2010, once again I received a phone call from India Today Book Club for some another offer. I refused for the same and complained for the previous case. The executive told me there was some problem with Big City promotions so all of the our application forms have been rejected. He gave me a new order no. as 0GA[protected] for the same and assured that I would receive a call on 27th January for the previous case and then that issue would be resolved. He was also instisting me to buy the new products for new offer which I strongly refused.

I didnot receive any call from India Today Book Club on till date from that time. ITBC is cheating people by calling them in this way.

ITBC is just doing fraud, and its not only you, who has been cheated, the itbc peoples are so much disgusting that one time i got a call from some one that my mobile number has been awarded a tour package and along with that they will provide some kodak camera, business class flight tickets etc. then i said that i have no interested because i m not married then they said that you take your girl friend with you when i say that i don't have any girl friend then that person said that you are living in bangalore and making a girl friend is very easy, make a girl friend and take her with you and enjoy our free gifts, then i ask him that how you got my number then he said that my mail id and my mobile number is registered with them i say that i have never register my mail id and mobile number with you and don't call me again then he said that sorry i have a lots of offer and will call me in future also, so my dear all friends never trust in any offer like this, and also never do any shopping on such a site

I sent the below mail to India today bookclub, but to my surprise, there is no response till date.

Atul Thakare
[protected][protected][protected][protected][protected][protected][protected][pr...⇄
As per my discussion with you, the other day, I would like to remind you that I had accepted your request of buying a gift (Holiday Package) worth Rs. 3198 Rs. on 11.11.2009. The money was deducted from my ICICI Credit Card on the same day. But I have not received the gift even after five months, I had called you three to four times before this, when the response I received was that my gift had returned back. I am failing to understand this that if you can call your customers hundred times for convincing them to buy the gifts, why can't you call them at least once, to give the status of the gift they are supposed to receive.

I am very much aware that some companies from Delhi, are in the business of cheating their customers . But I was hoping that India Today is not amongst them. But with lot of grudge, I am forced to say that yes, India Today is also in the same league of cheating the customers.

This time, I have again agreed to your terms and conditions of winning Rs. 25, 000, cheque for which i have bought a mobile phone worth Rs. 14, 000 ( Whose Market price is Rs. 12, 000) along with one membership card worth rs. 2500. But now, I doubtful whether I'll get the prize along with the gifts or I'll be cheated this time as well. As I am already pissed off with your service for the previous gift let me tell you for the last time that if I don't receive the gift within the next 15 days, I am going to take a complaint of this to the consumer forum. And I'll make sure that all the India today customers who are online get to know about my bitter experience through various websites like www.mouthshut.com and blogs.

I have attached the credit card statement of your 3198 Rs. debit with this mail, now kindly let me know if I am going to receive the promised gift or not, and if yes, when?.

Looking forward to your positive response.

India Today Book Club — Fraud by India Today Book Club

Dear Sir,

I have been also one of the victim of India Today Book Club as they promise one thing do not respond after money is paid.

I have been offered Kodak Digital Camera M380 for 9498 Rupees(INR) with free Reebok Wrist Watch, Holiday, Air ticket voucher and free diamond Jewellay coupons from the promotional sales department by phone on, and I have made payment from my credit card on the same day. But I have not received my items till date. When I contacted to the Customer Care[protected] on 25.01.2010 they informed me that they have dispatched the shipment by blue dart on 14.01.2010 vide Blue Dart POD: [protected] Ref: ORA[protected]TS. But I have not received till date.

Again I have called up their customer care[protected] and sent e-mail complaints number of times, the only reply i am geting is that I have to wait 7 - 15 days. I am geting the same message from them whenever I call them. Even today (i.e.12.04.2010) I got the same message from them. I have sent several reminders to the following email addresses.

[protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com,
[protected]@indiatoday-bookclub.com,
[protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com,
[protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com.

So far I have not received any solution from the India Today Book Club, every time I call the customer care number, I have spent an average 20 minutes on call and I am not getting any solution.

I would like request you to take up this issue and help me resolving the issue. Also I have seen lots of complaints on internet from users who had been cheated by this organization. Please take the appropriate action and prevent rest of the people being cheated by the same organization.

The following are the details of my purchase.

India Today Book Club — India today book club Fraud

On dated 10/03/10 at about 16.40hrs I received a call from India Today Book Club(Ph No: [protected],person Sanjeev Verma)and he told me that you have won Rs 160000/-, and for claiming this you have only to shop for Rs/- 24000/-, because your qualifying amount is short by Rs 24000/- and if you shop for the same amount then on 30 june 2010 your winning amount(160,000/-) will be transferred to your account or handed over to you in accordance with your wish. He assured me again and again that if i shop for 24000/- I will get my winning amount up to 30th June 2010 positively. As i trusted India Today so I agreed, then he told me that other person from their sales department will call you shortly for shopping. Approx. 15 Minute later I received a call from some other person and he told me regarding a Combo offer of Value approx 28000/- which include a Samsung Omnia Mobile of cost 22000/-, 2 no. rebock track suit of value 8000/-, 2 no rebock watch and a Gift Voucher of Rs 10000/-. As I was sure about my prize money because I Have trusts in India Today so I purchased the same and made payment through Credit Card. Then after 5 minute Mr. Sanjeev Verma calls me again and assured me for Prize. After making many telephonically conversation I received my order 2 month later and when I opened it I found that it was not the same as told by India Today Person. The market cost of mobile was Rs 13000/- approx. in stead of Rs 22000/- and also I did not receive my Gift Voucher of Rs 10000/- for which I complaint many time at India today complaint center and mailed them but did not get any response. Even after that I was Confidant that I will receive my winning money but when after passing of 10 days from the 30th June I did not get any amount or call from India Today Book Club, then I lodge a on line Complaint against them. After this an India today Person called me and requested me to wait for 15 August 2010.but even after passing of so many days from 15 Aug I did not get any prize money nor a call from India today .so please look in to the matter and do the needful as I shop only for qualyfy amount so that i can get amount of Rs/- 160000/-.

Respected Sir,

I have not received Rs 360000 gold/cash or refund of Rs 76000 paid by voucher nos[protected], 38, 44, 46 on 25th and[protected] and18 on 26th for further 180000, which I paid on 25/26th Aug 10, against the promise recorded in phone Please ensure same as I am not going to be satisfied with diamond vouchers which need further wasting of money.

Also you are not attending to phones nor replying to my mails and complaints so I will be now coming to Your office with police commissioner to get refund or award of cash/gold vouchers promissed by you as my son and saying you are Sr Manager incharge etc.

Please act quickly for payment of Rs 360000 cash/gold/Gold box or refund all 76000 back to creditcard as I have not yet paid back untill you settle this case as promissed on phone.

I have not been replied to any of my complaints for compliance of promises given during purchases of more than Rs 76900 only on the promises that I have been awarded gold or cash vouchers worth Rs 360000 to be sent in a week time and if not sent your money will be returned back in your credit card account. since the same has not been done even in a months time I want to warn you that it is your responsibility to deposit back all amount in citibank credit card account after which I will give all item sent by courier if required by you.
In case same is not done in next 2 or 3 days I am coming to your office with commissioner of Delhi police office after receiving your reply, but in any case you will have to refund all credit card money alongwith intrest due as you have not fulfilled the promises given for the
award of Rs 360000 for which I was asked to do purchases for specific amount vouchers quoted in my various complaints including to you even without telling the item purchased.
Copy of this mail sent to police commissioner personally per bearer and acknowledged.

So please act quickly to avoid future action as all conversation is recorded during the deals
and last date of Rs 76600/payment back to citibank credit card account is 7/10/2010, if same is not paid I will have to come to with all items for returning with police to take necessary action against Sr Manager Prashant who has not attended his telephone No [protected] with extension 03 inspite of dialling so many times in last one month.

Dear Sir,
Re : Membership Nos.ITBC0980725 and ITBC0980726 in my name.
Ref : My letter dated 24.08.2009.

I had received a telephone call from your representative from Delhi that you are having an offer for 2 night 3 days stay at any one place in India with free accommodation and air ticket for two adults and one child under five years of age. As the offer was sound interesting, I had chosen for two packages for my family consisting of two adult and two children above 5 years of age. Accordingly, I made tele-booking for two packages against credit card payment @ Rs.2598/- per package. Thus, I had made payment of Rs.5196/- in toto for two packages.

After such payment your representative Shri Santosh Das had assured that details regarding the package will be received by me within 15 days. To may utter surprise, on 13.08.09, I received two packets containing 12 similar books in each packet. There was no information regarding packages as discussed with me while booking. It was very shocking to receive two packets of books which I never booked. Then, I tried to contact Shri Santosh Das, who assured me to extend all possible help in case of need to the mobile number provided by him. But the mobile number provided by him did not belong to him but to some other lady employee of your office. This indicated the lack of sincerity of your staff who do not have courage to give correct mobile number let alone his sincerity to solve customer grievance. Then, one of your representatives attending[protected] advised me that I will receive the above packages as my free gift for purchasing these books. When I expressed my grievance against violation of agreed terms, he suggested me to return the books.

In view of the aforesaid, I would like state that your representative had misguided me as regards the packages and did not tell an iota about the purchase of books. Thus, you are not transparent in your activities and therefore, you are resorting to unfair trade practices. Under the circumstances, as I am not in favour of such unethical trade practice, I had returned two packets of Books in separate packets with request to refund Rs.5796/- (Rs.5196/- plus Rs.600/- towards courier charges for returning book packets) on 24.08.2009, vide my above letter. Further, I would like to state that I have the record that you have received the said packets sent through Kontest Courier Service on 27.08.2009. Thereafter, you have remained silent without any response and also without refunding the above amount to me.

In view of the above, I once again request you to refund me Rs.5796/- immediately failing which I will be compelled to take the matter to the appropriate Forum.

Yours faithfully,


(Manoranjan Satpathy)

India Today — Gift on subscription not delivered

I subscribed Business Today ( magazine - subs. no. - BT 1551456 ) I have received gift parcel against my subscription of Business Today, but in place of shoe pair only old waste paper was observed. I wrote ( since Oct 2008 ) many times but all the time they replied that Adidas shoe pair will be sent in 4-5 weeks but shoe pair is not received, as yet even now they spopped replying also

I had subscribed India Today English weekly magazines for five full years before three years during 2007.
At first, they have promised me vacuum cleaner and a tour bag. Then it was chaged and changed to Addidas shoes. Until this moment I have not received the same.Please do the needful

"India Today" has cheated me by sending a defective and useless wristwatch after extracting a huge amount towards 3 years' subscription. While I had to return this 'gift' by spending another Rs.200/-, they have also stopped sending me the issues completely since last 3 weeks. So their intention is only to cheat people. I am going to initiate some legal recourse for refund my money and damages as I feel such publishers motive should be brought to light and a massive movement is necessary to make them stop such practices.

TILL-TO-DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PROMISSED GIFT (MOBILE PHONE)= VENU

I'm Subscriber of your magzine Autobuild, I was promised a mobile phone as a gift from your side but haven't recieved it till date.This is a very big delay from your side.Hope you will take an action immediately.

Same is the case with me. I am surprised that there are many who are facing similar problems about the non receipt of Gift as assured. Will some one guide me for the next step to be taken as we cannot allow them to take the consumers for a ride?

India Today truly sucks. I subscribed at the start of September 2013 and after following up for almost 2 months, I have received my subscription number (ITE1941984) by email. I have not received a single issue so far, forget the gift. I am not even pursuing the gift, as the magazines are a gift for my grandparents and I am relieved if these get delivered.

All I have received are a few emails in response to my queries, all assuring me that the magazine (including back issues) will be delivered.

I have not received a single issue so far. If an organisation takes my money & does not deliver what it promises, it is in my humble opinion - cheating or stealing.

India Today - either deliver my issues on time as promised with back issues/ extension of subscription, or else refund my money.
