You get sucked into paying a subscription for a year to readers digest because they offer all these huge sums of money that u could win But once you have paid the game play changes so that u cant enter the competitions as more money has to be paid out for other things.Get offered a free gift and asked to log in and you cant find anything.No free gift.This type of PROMO shpuld not be allowed.

Readers Digest — Free gifts postcard

I received a postcard that states I have 3 free gifts waiting at this web address and I find it to be without merit and in no uncertain words after 50 or so years with RD I am truly depressed and insulted. I no longer want anything to do with Readers Digest. And I will not!!!!!!!!!....
I also went to website for 3 free gifts and only got sites to renew I usually renew when my co workers children are selling magazine subscriptions but not this year. What is wrong with this picture i have subscribed for years and now this!!!

Reader's Digest — no free gifts

I received card with email address to get three free gifts. Nothing came up except this complaint line.c13
What's with the postcards telling me 3 free gifts are waiting for me, claim them today at: www.readersdigest.com/3free? Nothing!!! You are committing fraud.
My parents were looking forward to the thought of free gifts. This is very misleading. They are senior citizens and have subscribed for years only to be given a postcard and no free gifts. Very disappointing..I would appreciate an explanation.
WHAT ARE THE 3 GIFTS READER'S DIGEST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE RIGHT WEB ADDRESS TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF 3 FREE GIFTS FROM READER'S DIGEST.
I am a annual subscriber of "Reader's Digest". I have purchased "Foods harm Foods Heal" through VPP for Rs.399/- VPP No.AT0034848 Dt.[protected]. But no free gift sent to me. The above parcel package was damaged but book is no damaged. So please kindly send me free gift for the purchase of 'Foods Harm Foods Heal" book. My Name & address Gnanamani Ramasamy, 113/6 Sengunthar Mettu Street, Ammapet, Salem 636 003. My E-mail address [protected]@gmail.com

    Dear Sir,
    I had send a requisition for Reader's Digest in June 2010.
    I have received one copy and paid the VPP amount of RS. 475/ though the initial request was only Rs 445/- as per the requisition on the voucher of the previous issue.
    Since July I have not received any further cvopies of the magazine.
    Kindly help me in procuring the monthly issues of Reader's digest.
    Thanking you,

I have paid Rs 449/- through my SBI credit card for one year subscribtion, which was reflected in my card statement, showing that it went to Readers Digest on 12/07/2010, but I have not yet recieved a single copy of RD though I have paid the bill before due date itself.

        Readers Digest — complaint about sweepstakes

        sweepstakes for Rs.22, 00, 000/= by Reader's Digest has been conducted for a year now. They keep sending mailers advising readers that they are just very near for winning Rs.22 lacs. with each response they send two envelopes for replies and with each of these mails, they ask you to purchase a product from them. If you agree to buy the product, one must use the envelope marked YES, for which postage is paid by addressee. if you choose not to buy their product, you must use the NO envelope, for which postage is to be paid by sender not the addressee. This is ridiculous and irritating. They are making fool as they changed the dates to year 2010. Every time they send a list of books to be purchased and minimum cost of a book is Rs 1000. They also claim that to win sweepstakes, no purchase is necessary but they send such letters almost every week and ask to purchase.

        This sweepstakes is a cleverly concealed fraud aimed at marketing their other products.

        Their sweepstakes procedure should be validated by a proper authority before they are permitted to carry on the current sweepstakes.

        Well, with all due respect to the complainer i completely disagree with you. The same problem occurred with me too. But, i got my copy when i brought the problem into the notice of RD crew. In fact, they responded well and were very polite. Initially my name also had wrong prefix and here also they quickly responded and amended it with correct one at the earliest. You need to communicate correctly to the right person.

                If you are trying to find the link through a search engine (Google, Yahoo, etc.), it is possible that you will not be able to access the website to enter the contest.

                To access it, click "File" then "Open" in your web browser (for example, Internet Explorer) and type the address in the space provided. Be sure to type the address in lower case as upper case may not work.

                If you are using Web TV or AOL, you may be unable to access the website.

                I hope this will be of help to you and I wish you the best of luck.

                I cannot access this e-mail address either. Is this a scam or what?
                It sounds too good to be true?

                i thinknthis is just another story nothing behind it...
                I was unable to access the site you give me.Also could not access thecode .Seeing these sites are so hard to enter why do you waste people"s timeand effort?
                The above instructions don't work. How do you click on "file" and then open with your browser???? This must be a scam website. If Reader's Digest website can't be accessed the normal way why they didn't make sure we could access it? I guess they don't want anyone to win.
                I finally found the site, entered the info then when it said "confirm" the following site had a "fatal eerror" which means it was useless waste of time
                hi I recieved your win 150.000 aeroplan miles and will not except my no .
                I am sorry to learn that you have experienced difficulties in entering the code.

                I checked the site and can assure you that it is working. You may need to click in the first box before entering the access code on your keyboard.

                Our webteam suggests that you clear your cache and that you try again. For help with this, you may contact your ISP.

                If you continue to experience difficulties, please get in touch with us at rd.ca/contact.

                Thanks.

                I'm sick & tired of trying to respond to readers digest contest entries only to find that there is no way of submitting my entry. please cancel any and all subscriptions that I have with readers digest and our canada magazines. Maybe now I can regain a portion of my sanity. I probably should have done this 40 years ago. Fred Rushmere

                i think the site is misleading. be carefull not accidently subscribe because in my reasoning there is a difference between asking if your are interested in subscribing and the suscription itself. although i disagree with that back door tricky approach readers digest were forthcoming to unsuscribe me at my request . i do conceed that the magazine is excellent but do refuse to sign in with backdoor policy approach.

                Why do you have these contests and Sylvia starts out in a negative way to tell us we might not be able to enter contest if we have Google or Yahoo. I don't have either and can't get into your contest so why do you sent this false information out in the mail. I guess I should cancel my subscription and then I wont get these useless contest entries. Is this anyway to treat your long standing customers? Audrey Bell

                    Every letter from your side has been received properly so far. But I am sorry to say that the above referred letter contained only a letter from the office of the Prize Award Administrator and the Finance Department. This letter was without envelop; other document/papers were also absent.

                      COMPLAINT regarding Subscription No.: RD[protected]

                      Summary of suffering so far

                      {Missing Copies}
                      I, Pramod Padmanabhan, subscribed to RD as a gift to my wife (Mrs. Mamta Pramod) sometime in the last quarter of 2009 and eventually paid for the VPP in Nov 2009. After which I received only 1 issue (Dec 09). Though I had paid for an annual subscription in return I received ONLY ONE COPY.


                      {Incompetent Customer Service via Call Center}
                      I have since then called the RD India Customer Service desk (both Mumbai and Noida) on several occasion to highlight the issue of "MISSING COPIES". To my utter surprise and deep disappointment I always spoke to highly incompetent people handling your Customer Services call center. I am sure that due to high incompetency of contact center staff, RD India must have created a great fan following by now. They just do not understand the problem and keep repeating their part of the story without even bothering to get to the root of the issue. All I was told repeatedly was that my ‘Annual’ subscription ended in Dec 09 – not one person checked how could an ‘Annual’ subscription end in one month!!!! They were just not getting the point!!!



                      After having several frustrating and mind-numbing conversations with RD India Call Center team I decided to lodge ‘Missing Copies’ complaint on the RD India website, frustration continued. I did not receive any response from RD India and continued to be in the dark about my missing copies. In the meantime I had lost all hope and even decided to write off the Rs.500/- that I had paid RD India but then it struck me that you guys shouldn’t be let away that easy and that’s when I took the help of my friend in Mumbai, Mr. Vikram Misra, who volunteered to follow this up and get to the root of the issue.



                      Here starts the real drama – after several collective hours of conversation RD India finally accepted their MISTAKE – of having updated the duration of the subscription from Nov 09 - Dec 09 (one month subscription after taking Annual Subscription fees). RD India realized that this could turn ugly for them and immediately agreed to renew the subscription from June 2010 for a year. This was sometime in May 2009. On one of the tri-party calls during this time that I had along with RD India and my friend, Mr. Misra, I was told after multiple apologies that RD India will start sending the copies starting June 2010. To my utter dismay the copy did not reach me in time (if I’m right your commitment is that the copy should reach me by the 5th of the month) – on once again calling your Contact Center I was told that they had no clue where the copy had gone missing however they promised to immediately courier the copy to me. And eventually on the 11th of June 2009 I received my 2nd copy after the one I received in Dec 2009.



                      The horror story does not end here – more is coming. A week back my neighbor drops in to hand over a copy of an old issue of RD (early 2010) requesting me to ‘change’ my address coz the wrapper had ‘5093’ instead of ‘5091’ which is my address. The same day another neighbor drops in to hand over another old issue (early 2010) with the same request – this time the flat # is ‘5094’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The date of posting on both the wrappers is 18 Jun 2010 – what does this mean – were you using the trial and error method to check the correct address?? The fact that I received your courier (June issue) is proof enough that you already had my ‘correct’ address – can someone explain to me the reason for sending the other 2 issues to my neighbors?? I seriously went berserk this time and have now decided to pursue this case through the Consumer Forum – I have also scanned the wrappers that I referred to above as evidence.


                      I hereby give RD India 7 working days from now to respond to me with the action they will take to

                      a) An apology letter from your Head – Customer Services acknowledging the mistake from your end

                      b) Commit to me that that I will face no more problems related to my current subscription

                      c) Immediately refund the subscription amount that I paid as a goodwill gesture

                      d) Compensate me appropriately for the hardship that I have endured in the last 6-7 months – I leave it to you to decide on the amount; you can guess what the Consumer Forum will levy on you for the above!

                      e) Stop all kinds of promotion mailers enticing me to buy books from you showing big wins as a carrot – I simply can’t stand those, especially now!!

                        Address: Delhi

                        Hello,

                        I am Saurabh Tyagi. I want to complain against Reader's Digest. i have a membership of this magazine, these guys used to deliver magazines without any proper delivery system (courier etc.) and because of this there has been a loss of 4 books in the last 5 months. each book costs around Rs. 60 so the total loss has been Rs.240 as the delivery guy or postman will just put the books in front of my main door without informing because of this the books must have been stolen. Also I pay for membership of another person as well whose name is Vijay Sharma, he is also supposed to receive Reader's Digest books on Monthly basis, but he did not get the books 5 months in row. Recently because of my complaint they have started delivering the books through proper courier service but who is going to cover up the loss of 4 books and 5 books which were delivered late and Vijay had to get the books from other channels.

                        Also the company which owns the Reader's Digest business is a big fraud. They have an annual sweepstakes contest for which they keep on sending the documents, those who want to participate in contest have to return the docs within stipulated time of 7 to 14 days, I have not returned a single document this year but they keep on sending me the documents, last year i took part and i used to send back each and every document as requested but now I have found out that it was not necessary at all. i kept on wasting my money in sticking the stamps and sending the docs through post all year. So kindly initiate action against this company as they have clearly cheated the consumers.

                        my account number as a member with this magazine service is:[protected] and there address is:

                        I am Kamal mehra of Dwarka Delhi. I confirm having sent my approval of subscription.
                        In that contest i confirm having received a registered V.P.P. Packet on 26.7.2011 and paidRs499/-
                        to the postman. Vide your VPP NO Y[protected]MI-RD[protected]/0/1207/KAMAL MEHRA MI309.
                        Believe me the parcel was very shabby and ite contents too. I received three books
                        1. MODERN HEROS 2.THE BOOK OF MIND BENDERS3.INVINCIBLE THINKING
                        Not a single book was looking fresh looked being kept in damp for long time.I was upset and wanted to complain. It does not fit your reputation.

                        Again i was sent another REGD VPP Packet which i have received today unfortunately i was not at home. Member of my family took this by paing again Rs499.It was sent vide Z-68221
                        11MI-309-RD[protected]/0/1208.
                        In this parcei ireceived 3 books again all the three books shabby and what not.
                        I fail to understand about the duplicate despatch as i opted only for one membership.
                        Will you please look into this and refund Rs499/ against the 2nd despatch.
                        Your confirmation of this email will be appreciated.

                          I'd like to add my name to the list of people unable to find the promised surprise free gift. I typed in the address for Australia and ended up on an Indian website. It's comforting to know that I join an international band of frustrated customers.

                          It's good enough to take her money and send her promises of free gifts.

                            I received notification with June Readers Digest that I had received a free Surprise Gift-Hurry! Limited Stock
                            I went to the specified website--www.readersdigest.com.au/giftrewards but was unable to find the website.Phoned Readers Digest t the beginning of this week and was told that it would be fixed and to logon th following day .. Logged on the following day-same problem... Phoned again and was told -remove the s at the end of the website and the problem would be fixed in one hour... Tried after three hours but www.readersdigest.com.au/giftreward still unable to be found..!!!!.. WHY WAS THE WEBSITE NOT SETUP PROPERLY BEFORE THE POSTING OF THE JUNE 2010 READERS DIGEST?????

                            PLEASE ADVISE......Alan Swift
                            I think this is just another rip off from readers digest. They say it is a free gift but they want you to give them your payments details for the free gift and a year subs for their magazine.
                            BECAREFUL
                            I have also received a surprise gift hurry limited stock notice and the web site does not exist. What are they playing? It makes me feel as to stop my subscription when I am taken for a fool Alicia
                            I tried to log on to this site the very day we received our magazine, of course could not find the site. I sent an email, took a WEEK for a reply!!! Told me it was working but I CANNOT log on to find it. Really, what are they doing??? How can you receive a "free" gift when you can't find the site. RIP OFF!!! Brenda & Peter. Probably won't order magazine again. Been receiving it for years! Very disappointed. :-(
                            I agree, I have tried every day since 25/06/10 - no such site(s)

                            I just tried to go to www.readersdigest.com.au/giftrewards and the same thing happened, no web page for the "Free' mystery gift.I also was given a leaflet along with this months edition of Readers Digest( that I was given from my daughter as a gift for one year) to say claim for your free surprise gift, so thats why I did, and this is the result!

                            Too right. I also have logged on but to no avail. Maybe we need to look elsewhere to get our reading matter
                            What a rip off...I was posted with this free slip of surprise gift but no such web site...They need to get their act together plus paying for my subscrition..only got my reader digest books after a year . That only happened because i complained.
                            Please don't waste your time our precious time by sending this free gift rubbish. It is absolute crap. Shame on you, Reader's Digest.
                            I am extremely disapointed with readers digest. cannot access site and am seriously thinking of not renewing my subscription

                            I received a book and slip for a claim your free gift. This is the first time I have ordered the mag. Will someone please explain to me about the cheques they say that my name could be a winner plus I had to apply the 3 stickers on the form and send back. Is any of this true. Thankyou. Tracey-Lee.
                            I have also tried the so called free gift and got nowhere.I also have never recieved the so called membership card with details of my number to get onto the site .Very disappointed in Readers Digest. I have paid a years subscription and now feel I am being ripped off.

                              I'me also stuned by the fact that you advertise such promotions as free gifts, and you can't follow through! Stop waisting paper, and our time!

                              RCVD card w/ last magazine to go online to get "2 FREE GIFTS are waiting for you." This page is where to email address sent me. Is there something/somewhere else to do? I see I am not alone in this quest!!!
                              I also tried to get to the site that promises 3 free gifts. Their web site is outrageous anyway. I tried to pay my subscription on line and could never get past the login page. How frustrating.
                              I received the card with the 3 gifts offer and entered the information as instructed only the first time it said there were no matches and then it cme up with this page. This is crap and I would like to have the offer of 3 free gifts honored but I don't want a bunch of junk. I would like to see what the gifts are before they are sent.

                              Yes, agree with the above comments, Also rang your customer assistance, and told it was working. However, no way I can get into it myself. Hope to hear from you soon, if not I will be suspicious that it is just a rort. D.I. [protected]
                              I agree also, its very disappointing i guess nothing is ever free.I think now is a good time to actually give out gifts to subscribers given this incident
                              This is typical for all offers... now claim free gift is a hoax... I won't be renewing my subscription next year,
                              also will be lodging a complaint with the commerce commission regarding RD and false advertising.

                              Have tried "Claim YOUR FREE SURPRISE GIFT"
                              The "SURPRISE" I got was no site and no gift!!

                              Have to tried claim your free surprise gift. Account Number:[protected]. I want to get this free gift.
                              From Queensland.
                              I also have a complaint re the mail out "CLAIM YOUR FREE SURPRISE GIFT" This is false advertising as there is no way to claim this offer so why advertise something you don't intend to provide to you contributors

                              I have been a long time member of ReadersDigest and am very disillusioned with which some of their advertising is being conducted of late.

                              Yours Sincerely.

                              I also have the same problem in New Zealand as Ken did. I get same "SURPRISE" and I suspect, countless others did as well...No site such as www.readersdigest.co.nz/giftrewards and no gift to view. I am prepared not to carry on with READERS DIGEST for all the [censored]e they say to enter into draws, sweepstakes, gifts etc!. Its a marketing scam and all turns out with a lot of sheep manure amongst it all. The Digest's Rectum must 'ave bin get'n crammed up to the hilt previously, cause they are still Spurt'n, Scam'n, 'n Push'n a lot'a Sh-t Marketing out. K.Wilson A/C [protected]

                              I think when you send out a voucher saying" Claim your free surprise gift and hurry up because stocks are limited and then when the person who is already paying for the readers digest monthly gets a FRAUDULANT voucher they should terminate any dealings with Readers Digest and send out to all the people they are treating with such disrespect and hopefully they will lose custom ...M& G Breen acc # [protected] new zealand

                              Readers Digest is only looking after the customers in Australia.
                              Look at the list with so called winners. Once in a while you see someone from NZ.
                              I am considering stopping my subscription when renewal comes up.

                              have not received my jewelery ordered in the sweepstakes and its been 3 months i will sue u soon> it costs 4000
                              I have been the consumer of Readers' Digest India since 50 years. For the last 3/4 years I have been receiving thousands of letters / correspondences regarding declaration of Reader's Digest Sweepstakes Champion worth Rs.26 lacs along with some other prizes such as Chairman's Prompt prize and early reply prize etc. etc. subject to condition for purchase of some articles through VPP though it is told that it is not mandatory. But if not purchase you cannot be eligible to participate. However, I have been purchasing music CD, leather Bags hundreds of books and other articles. I have been declared by the Chairman Sweepstakes, Reader's Digest to be the winner of sweepstakes champion which is held every year. Not only that I have been declared as so-called Ambassador for the company. It is surprising that in most of the letters I have been declared as winner of 26 lacs but in some of the letters I have been declared as chance to win some other prizes. I had duly sent the required documents to the address given above but in spite of fulfilling the all requisites I am asked to purchase some other articles which of no use of mine. It is presumed that the practice which are introduced by the Reader's Digest is nothing but furse and to sell their articles. This is my complaint to unfold the true.

                              The Free giftrewards seems to be a big big Hoax. My telephone complaint to "Readers Digest" got no response. I have been a member for about 30 years, and am yet to win anything from them. Promisses, promisses, all empty words. It is time to make an investigation into their prize giving.

                              I think the readersdigest has gone downhill in the last year or two. Where are the jokes at the bottom of the pages? The whole magazine seems to be full of ads. I am considering telling my son-in-law to stop paying for this annual gift to me.

                              very true, all they do is lure u with some high rewards and in the process trick u with their bargains n deals and at times, just dump their stuff thru courier, even when returned to the courier guy, it comes back and then they say that u have such and such.. outstanding amt, i mean i ended up paying on two occassions for things i didnt want, and now they have dumped something in my absence . Dunno, what they r upto...just mindless, aggressive money making marketing strategies...I have replied to them thru their email id, but it says delivery notfication failure... To add to it, they have the audacity to tell us that their finance legal dept will follow with us for nonpayment...

                              The direction to Claim your "Free" surprise gift, and the statement "limited stock" would appear a blatant lie.

                              Out of any magazine I have found Readers Digest the most interesting one, however I am very disappointed
                              P.S. When you first send Letter Express / REPLY PROMPLY. Which I did.Also second letter and paid immediately.
                              I would appreciated if you could equally give me the sme response.

                              I recon i should stop all this false hope. Readers digest seems like you never change!!!
                              misleading advertising, it appears to be that it's all about getting free discounts off other products which i am not even sure is in nz $ ; been a customer with readers digest for over 40 years and this is out of character for them but disappointing to say the least---are they sabbotaging their own business doubt it ---time they put it right.
                              I have also received a card to log in for a free gift and can't seem to get anywhere. Not sure why it is being sent if we can't access it??

                              Readers Digest — Free gift offers to from non-existent websites

                              Is it fair for Readers Digest to treat there subcribers with the offers of free gifts/ giveaways, when the the websites they provide are either hard to locate or not operating. Even when the site is found, after filling out details (and a promise on the form of not more than 3 days ) can take up to 3 weeks for delivery.
                              Are they obligated (legally or morally ) to these free offers to act on subcribers behalf here in the right manner ?

                              Still no response from Readers Digest regarding these complaints - I agree that it should be investigated by authorities as it certainly shouldn't be happing with such a well regarded and well established company - I certainly won't be continuing subscription when due !!

                                I have received the promotion mail and I subscribed by paying through bank transfer on 28.04.2010. But I didn’t receive any RD package as promised even a reply mail. I contacted RD they asked me details of payment and I sent. Even after my clarifications I didn’t receive any reply too.

                                I call the customer care over phone and they give me the subscription number and PROMISED that I will receive every thing in two weeks of time. Now its five weeks

                                I am going to move consumer forum. If others feel so, contact me we could do together.

                                  RD seems to have got group of bankrupt people in their management, it seems they r not able to pay salaries to their white elephant employees, so they have chosen the path of fooling the government of india and the people. I was offered sweepstakes programme for RD subscription for 2010, for which the draw is due in 2011, anyway m not at all interested for the free money offered by theses gambles, i was interested for the three star (books) as surprise gift from RD, till the date i have not received any surprise gifts from RD. They r the most "hopeless Thugs / Criminals" of India. They should be immediately banned to promote their magazine in India and let their copies be confiscated by the government. Most Horrible and people.
                                  that is really true.

                                  I have also received a speed post from reader's digest, stating that im eligible to win prizes worth 30, 00 000.

                                  but no details found in their website.

                                  RD cheating company, which is into fraudulent deeds.

                                  Please stop these kind of fraudulent deeds by RD
                                  no this is not fraud, this contest draw will be held in January 2011, so please read the details of it in www.rd-india.com

POTENTIAL WINNERS AND DETAILS THEREON OF YOUR SWEEPSTAKES COMMITTE SHOULD BE COVERED TIGHTLY AS RECENTLY I RECEIVED THE ONE OR TWO LETTERS AS UNCOVERED! IT MAY OPEN TO ANYBODY AND HIDE OR PLAY WITH IT THOSE WHO ARE JEALOUS WITH THE WINNERS AND THUS THE ACTUAL WINNER MAY BE CHEATED BY THEM. ALSO THE WINNER CAN LOSE HIS/HER LUCK BY SENDING LETTERS UNCOVERED. SO THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY.

                                  RD such a prestigious organisation is fooling its readers. From year 2007-08 i am receiving post mentioning that i am selected as prize winner of some crore.I just spent more than rs.200 for just postage. I feel really hurt when people are taken for ride. i am just for the love of good aticles subscribing this book and that is also now a days full of advertisements and less of articles. They are just imposing some nasty gifts/ books without our asking and then demand payment! its a shame.
                                  I have rcvd. some documents regarding subscription of RD with free surprise gifts voucher & chance to win Rs. 3500000/-. I don't know what is this ? Can someone guide me about this ? Pls. mail me @ [protected]@yahoo.co.in
                                  RD good books grat articles... but sucking marketing policies . Do not fall prey to " quick rich" schemes.. if they can give 1 cr rs as prizes ..they rather would save the company.

                                  Think smart ..just buy the books..or BEST buy it from platforms or road side shops... comes in great discounted price... and well ..stories remain the same even after 10 yrs.

                                  Yes I agree with the complaints lodged by many readers. We are really intrested in Reader's Digest not in huge prizes offered by this fake sweepstakes. I was surprized to get such type of letters and cheating style of promoting their products i.e. Magzines, booklets etc. This is not fair practice one day this will drow total Reader's Digest. If this is fake corrospondance then Official RD should take strong legal action against this.
                                  I received a letter by post from reader's digest ..that u are nominee for the cash prize & a car Just reply yes & u will get A positive response from us I posted the letter with yes reply With documents like yes reply/magic card & car's paper with key filled on it on date 2/07/11 but i have not received any reply from their side .. plz tell me what i have to do..

                                  This is just making someone full that he can win a big amount of money by taking these books. There is no any sweepstake and all that they just sending you the specimen copies of cheques and certificate to making mad. Every time RD sending documents said that this is your final step towards 3500000/-. All is faking
                                  Hi, I am Nitu From Jmshedpur, I have also received a mail from reader digest for sweepstakes, I have already purchase the magine. Kindly let me know is it fake ? They were offering some prizes.

                                    Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

                                    Hello All,

                                    1. Today morning I received Reader's Digest Sweepstakes 2010 documents asking me to participate. I had never seen a better or more convincing promotional offer. They asked me for my Credit card Number [I have an HSBC credit card and this contest is in affiliation with HSBC]. They would charge me for 449 Rs. for an annual subscription. In order to get this subscription they included a Car Prize [Chairman's Promptness Prize], coupon cheques to be entered in the lottery, A star prize coupon.

                                    2. I called my bank HSBC and they confirmed that this was indeed true. I called RD office and they asked to call on Monday as everything was closed for the weekend. I verified that the finance director was indeed 'Punit Poonegar' as listed on the website and in whose name the documents were sent.

                                    3. I researched extensively online combing every forum and website and have made the following observations -
                                    a. Everyone I know has received a car coupon for the BEST car prized 15 Lacs - Ford Endeavor. However each thinks that only they have received the best car offer.

                                    b. Reader's Digest is dwindling in its subscription in India. Once a great magazine with brilliant articles it is now not so good. So this is a great marketing stint to get you to pay your subscription fees thereby assuring that the prize money will come or not come but the money has definitely gone from your account. Which means once at least you have been duped.

                                    c. Let's take it statistically - For example 5000 people fall for this [it is definitely more considering India's population]. So 5000 innocent people pay 450 Rs. = 5000 * 450 = 22, 50, 000. Twenty-two lac fifty thousand rupees !!! All thanks to each one o[censored]s. They have assured prizes upto 1 crore. Upto 1 crore does not mean it will be 1 crore. Even 300 Rs. is a legit prize money in such a language. Out of what they get even if they give out few thousands of rupess worth of prizes they make a whooping profit. So think about it.

                                    d. There has been a long history of people writing that once they have fallen for this once they keep falling for it again. The letters have been carefully worded - Words like these encourage you to participate - 'Everyone discards their coupons; Make sure you don't else you will never win'. Please do not be duped by such things - they play with psychology, greed and desire. They play with people who want money and are desperately in need of it. So please make a wise decision. I tore mine to pieces; hope you will do the same.

                                    Thanks,
                                    An Indian Citizen

                                    I agrre with you ...

                                    I have also received the same thing and was about to fill the form but read you article and feel not to go for it.

                                    Magazine subscription only for prize money is not worth.

                                    Thanks
                                    Thanks a lot for your excellent suggestions with superb wise way.I also got the same but its directly from readers digest and no colloboration with any banks, it was looking like genuine i was in dilemma whether to get subcribe if no prize atleast we will get some magazines for 12 months or leave it, i was in two mindedness but after seeing yours logical thinking i am 100% agree with your opinion.Its nothing but encourage to get the customers with misusage of the indian population in attractive and wise way to make them in to 12 months subscription.It is purely meticulous way of business tactics.
                                    thanks once again.
                                    Hi I too received those documents by today, but in those they didn't ask any bank details they just gave one pink slip with number of stars to scratch, and car lucky draw. so tell me what to do now, shall i post those envelops? one more thing in those envelops there is no identification of from address(my address), so how they decide who have posted it?did really any one won the car? in their website they have listed the winners for past five years.

                                    Hi,

                                    The same incident happened with me.
                                    Hey even I received the same today on 02-Oct-2010. Hope the cybercell looks into this matter. This has been going on since[protected] as my friend has posted this complaint or may be before that.

                                    Hope we are being heard.
                                    Hi, these offers are really showing dare to fool the public in open also in writting and no government body is there to object it .
                                    Atleast we should beaware and dont waste our money and let others educate .
                                    Hello friends ! I also agree with all of you. If they offer a prize along with the subscription, thats ok. But here they are offering subscription along with the prize. I want to ask readers digest that which is their primary product. Is it their magazine or their lottery. Stop doing all this. You are not making fools of people, but you are making fool of yourself because you people don't understand that how much such an act of your is harmful for the reputation of your own own company. Stop doing this with such a great magazine.
                                    Hi friends, me too got this senseless letter.Timely i saw this.I sincerely appreciate your social responsibility.
                                    Thanks a alot to the blog

                                    <b>highly And Sincerly appreciated effort</b> of above said consumer.

                                    Indeed it is true evaluation and there nothing like sweeeepstake drws.
                                    I feel something is fishy when they asked to return their pink ticket within 7 days without any postage charges, how it could be?just a Daylight robbery.
                                    After doing lot of research about the magazine and its concern company, .
                                    I arrived at the conclusion that its just a another marketing gimmick to fool the innocent people.
                                    i have also recived same documents. thanks for awareness about it.
                                    very true. I have also been cheated very badly. I had sent a cheque for Rs. 1900/- towards first instalment for a special jewellery scheme which is already cleared as per my bank statement. The cheque was sent a month ago and has been cleared couples of weeks back and I am yet to receive the jewellery ordered. This is apart from the the subscriptions that I have paid for the books.

                                    Is someone listening??????????????
                                    i do agree with all the comments, for the past 3 yrs i'm recieving the monthly magazines, selected editions etc in the hope of getting some money to clear off my debts and to help my father in doing his dialysis. Thank u all 4 ur timely advice.
                                    i too received an email from Sweepstakes. they asked me to play the card game and i won the maximum amount and the Endeavour. but later it stucked to my mind that how can they give such a huge amt.instead of a 1 year subscription that too only of 449/-. i went thru Google search and confirmed that's it fake.
                                    same i recived today but thanks to your article..now i am ver careful.thank a lot
                                    Hi every one & dear indian citizen
                                    I have the habit of subscribing online magazines .
                                    But i never subscribed for this Reader Digest magazine.
                                    I worrying that with out subscribing i received the check sample which has to be
                                    reply with YES envelop .then they will draw my cash amount .
                                    Dont beleive in all this . i think this is the initialization for getting our card details
                                    I damm sure stop here itself . thanks for commenting you experience for all citizen
                                    fully agree to you, great reasoning man, keep up the good work.
                                    Well I have been part of this lucky draw & had finally won 5 lacs rupees. So it's not fake.
                                    I also lost money with this RD.
                                    I have subscribed to the magazine and have been getting it regularly everymonth. It is a great magazine and quiet a bargain for Rs. 449. So far as entering into sweepstakes is concerned, it is individual choice. A magazine of RD's reputation will not cheat people or swindle money is my firm belief!
                                    Thank you very much friend, i just making my envelopeto recieve the magazine, and i am happy that i have not posted yet... once again thanks a lot...
                                    i also recived a mail and i was really stupid that i subscribed it onlline and now i thinking how any body can do this?
                                    Dear all,

                                    Every individual has a financial needs in their life and latch on such chances in the hope that they might win something. But, when some intelligent person making his own surveys and research advice not to fall into such pits giving enough reasons, everyone will start thinking then. We are talking about these online scams, but what about daily scams we are taking part in unmindfully. While shopping, when u see offers like buy this you will get that free, we rush on to get those even though we do need that product. So, in a way, I personally think that we the people who are encouraging all such activities and once we decide not to fall preys to such marketing strategies, then only we will get genuine things in our life.
                                    So, think for a second before you hard earned money drains out.

                                    Citizen of a great nation.

                                    I have gone through your desparate statement. It indicates that you are very much annoyed and disaapointed on this issue. To get the authenticity and the fact, you have to file a FIR so that truth will come out. Inspite of advising the public to not to fall the prey of it, please go ahead with a police complaint and solve your doubt.
                                    this is very deplorable situation.Reader digest must clarify it instead of getting damage its reputation
                                    Guys..I truely agree with all the comments made against RD. With reference to the FAQ's posted at the RD website, i thought of waiting till the 1st Feb 2011.
                                    I have checked the website mentioned but no update :(
                                    I have sent an email enquiring the same. No response so far!

                                    3. When will the draw be held?
                                    3A. The sweepstakes draw is scheduled to be held on Jan 21, 2011.

                                    6. How would we know if we win the Prize?
                                    6A. The list of winners will be provided upon written request after 1 February 2011.

                                    I have received the final notice declaring that I could be the winnder of Rs.30000/- in the 2010 sweepstakes. I have no clue as on date what has happened to the draw. Can RD provide us with the list of winners so that atleast we know where we stand.
                                    I wish all o[censored]s were as intelligent as Mr. Citizen. We could have atleast saved couple of thousands by not falling into the trap by subscribing not only for the magazine but also for the other products like jewellery etc

                                    i dont agree with the above discussion coz every legal lottery bussiness in india goes like this
                                    what is wrong if rd india sells knowlegede with a bonus sheme of this car an etc etc even when i received the same mail i was informmed that even i was not a subscriber i was at liberty to play with the conteset and will be cosidered likewise now the propaganda launched above can be of other publishers who do want to restrict the growing publicity of rd india thak u muzafer wani
                                    I dont agree with the entire discussion above, as promotional offer are up to customers choice and if your greedy and willing enough to take chance just simply check the authenticity of the company and the sponsors. if you are lucky enough you will certainly win prizes as I did. recently I won Honda Accord worth 18 lacs from readers digest sweepstakes although they have confirmed that i have won but the drawfor the same is in feb 2012 ( which I am aware of )

                                    None of the company gives promotional offers from their pocket...there are no free lunches in the world... all just you want to check is the authenticity of the company


                                    Regards
                                    Akhielsh Mishra
                                    Hi
                                    Even i have been receiving this since almost 2 years .Initially i used to respond to their letters but every time they kept on writing "you are very close to winning blah blah blah" At one point i felt like they are taking me for a ride so i jst started tearing the letters even before opening them... Along with the letters they would send attractive offers like You are getting such a such book for 50% off etc etc... though i have paid some money to learn this lesson.. i request whoever is getting such offers from rd please ignore them those books are not even worth the money...

                                      POTENTIAL FINALIST TO WIN INSTANT Rs.30,00,000 IN THE THIRD AND LAST STAGE OF THE READER'S DIGEST RUPEES 1.1 CRORES SWEEPSTAKES.

                                      Dear Potential Winner,

It confirms that you are the only person in the whole of India who can activate the Sweepstakes entry on reserve for you.

                                      You may be surprised to know that in all of India, less than 1% of the households have been selected to receive this fabulous offer. While many of your neighbours will never be selected, you have already been fortunate enough to clear two of the three stages there are, to becoming a winner in our Sweepstakes!

And it is a fact that if you choose to ignore your entries, you will NEVER have the good luck to win ANYTHING in our Draws. Don't let this guaranteed chance slip away, just click for your Official Access Code, you could win as much as Rs.30,00,000 in cash. Act quickly!

                                        Hello Sylvia
                                        You can assure me that the web site works re; ipod contest. Sylvia i even printed out the page so i could follow your instructions and have tried it twenty times and i can assure you it does not work. I have missed out on your contests for years and yet i have been a subscriber for a very long time.

                                        Why can you not put your contest on first page of when i bring readers digest up on my computer like right now you have first item win $5000. I will bet you 90% of people are like me bring it up readers digest and if it is not there try a few things and give up, i even went through the nine thousand pages a couple times with zilch success. I certainly have no problem getting through to your billing dept.

                                        You Sylvia probably spend every day on computer and assume every one is like you or are computer geeks that can always find every thing well i assure you i for one wish i could have some geek qualities BUT I DON'T, My God i am sure you can simplify something like this, i almost feel like canceling my subscription .
                                        I also got a complaint about your send in for when children say the funniest things and would love to know who selects the ones you do print and pay $200 i asked ten people to read some of the ones you selected and all ten though mine were much more original and funnier, i honestly think nobody goes through them you just put them in a barrel and reach in and grab a few. Peter Jakubec
                                        i like to read readers digest every month i cant wait for the new one every month
                                        I have followed your instructions for the Ipod contest, but alas there is not place to enter the access code: it tells me to continue - you hit continue and says you have to enter code - but not place to do so...weird
                                        people should read more before they try to access a site
                                        i have been trying to enter the ipad contest with no luck is this the way you keep from giving away the ipad
                                        this is a real scam if you ask me.
                                        I tried the website, going through internet explorer and it said that the contest is closed. I just received my newest magazine and it says that the contest closes september 30, 2010. Great contest!!
                                        I tried my web browser and it didn't work, but I then tried the 'file' and 'open' suggestion and it worked just fine. I am not a computer geek, I am 74 years old and know only the basics. I agree that these contests should be put right on the Reader's Digest website. The card with the access code on it that was included in the magazine for this month(Nov.) said the contest closes nov.30, 2010. aycee
                                        This is the second contest supposed opportunity that you've sent me & both times I've come on your website & guess what NO CONTEST is there for an IPOD TOUCH. you are making fools of everyone you send these little cards with an access code to. robbie
                                        I just want to join the contest and have a chance to win an iPod touch 32GB. Who knows? The winnier could be ME!!!
                                        I'm giving up on ever again trying to enter a contest at RD because thy just don't want anybody to enter. I have tried so many times and it always gives me the big runaround and i have never been able to get in on any of their contests. I am seriously thinking of even going so far as to cancel my subscription to RD after taking the mag for over 25 years.

                                        The ipod giveaway page does not exist. All I get is the famous 404 page not found and I typed it in correctly many times..

                                        I have found the site where the access code page is for the Ipod touch contest!Just go to the site marked with the date 14 oct 2010: ''Now you have a chance to win a 32 GB...'' nd click on it.Then you will have a page called Fantastic Search, scroll down to the Ipod contest and click on the underlined contest web address and voilà ! the next page will be the ever so ELUSIVE acces code page...Hope this will help someone out there! Good luck.

                                        I too am unable to access this contest site, even after following all instructions re using internet explorer
                                        ther firm is pretty darn quick with the plethora of mail contests and come ons for the sweepstakes, but this is not the first problem I have encountered with RD contest enrollment.
                                        I have tried several of the suggestions and cannot locate the contest page.

                                        can't register for win ipod
                                        I also tried to access the Ipod contest with the number on the card I received by mail -85447 but it appeared to require six numbers and kept rejecting mine! As a 76 year old who has been a Reader's Digest reader and purchaser of many many products, I also wonder as some others if this on-line contests are a waste of time!

                                        I found the Ipod contest but the code seemed to require 6 numbers and I only have five -85447 on my card enclosed with a product I purchased recently.
                                        I find it frustrating and a waste of time! I have been reading and using Reader's Digest products for at least 40 years and do not like the idea of this being a scam.

                                        I need more than you saying "GOOD LUCK" as nothing seems to work and we have been left out of so many contests with Reader's Digest because they take you nowhere. We have subscribed for many years.
                                        Why can't this be changed so people aren't sending in negative comments and being upset by Reader's Digest.
                                        have been onto site readersdigest.ca/ipod also surprise cann't enter code 14987 for contest that closes feb 29 2012
                                        today feb 14 2012 yet site says all ipods have been won but contest sould still be running sounds fishy to me .. K.jackson

When I type in the code it says it is not a good number???? This is the number I have on the card 67953!!! Could you please submit it for me as I can not do it on that site!? My e-mail address is
                                        [protected]@yahoo.ca Could you please advise if you were able to enter it for me or what I should do?
                                        Thank-you Gail Howell

                                        I can access the contest but when I type in the access code it tells me that it is the wrong code EVERY TIME !
                                        This seems to be the norm with this contest
                                        I am having the same problem is they keep saying wrong access code why?

                                        I just received it today
