            My name is vineet venugopal and i have subscribed for the reader's digest booklet. I paid rs 761 my payment confirmation no. Is[protected]. I was scheduled to receive the package since february 2018 and not received a single booklet till date. Whether i am a fool. I also made a call to your customer care executive and he assured me the first second and third copy by 23/04/2018. If your company don't know how to do business then close the business and sit at home. I just want my money back... You people are such a careless person. I will complain your service and also make aware public about you cheaters.

                I'm senthilkumar sanjeevi, advocate from chennai, tamil nadu. I have subscribed for this magazine. I frequently received emails and letters that i have entered into the elite circle and eligible for sweepstakes 2017. As per the instructions i had filled the details and subscribed and paid thrice. When i checked the website in february 2018, only previous year winners are displayed and latest are not displayed. When i further enquired whether it is scam or not, they referred me an article in the website which states that these sweepstakes are legitimate and not scam and are held to develop their magazines. It is a way marketing was the reply given by them. Marketing can be done once but not thrice continuously. Its a way of cheating. When i checked the website in the month feb 2018, a new terms and condition was included stating participants from tamil nadu are not eligible for the sweepstakes under tamil nadu prize scheme (Prohibition) act, 1979. Under such act in place how can you send mails and letters regarding my eligibility into sweepstakes? Of course it is a way of cheating. I request you to undertake the complaint and do the necessary immediately under consumer protection act, 1986.
                I have haven't received my reader digest booklets...I have registered in Dec 2017 but not any booklets received till date.pleas refund my amount otherwise I will take a action against your company for fraud.my calls not receiving at your end.

                  I have subscribed for rd and paid a years subscription amount of rs.711/_ last july, but neither i have received the gift books that were promised nor do i think that i have been registered as a customer since i am constantly getting messages from rd group about the entry in the sweepstakes asking me to subscribe.
                  I want to know if i am eligible for an entry in the sweepstakes as you seem to be unaware that i am an existing subscriber.

                  Please make appropriate note and do the needful.

                              Hi,

                              My subscription id - rd[protected].

                              I have taken the subscription of rd in sept'17. Now it's three months and i have not received any copy so far. I have written several times over the email but no response even try to contact them on their provided numbers and unfortunately numbers are not working also. No way to contact them now. Rd is totally looking like fake. Just taking money from the people.

                                Subscription number rd[protected] payment is made for annual (12 copies) subscription. July 2017 to june 2018 is subscription period. After repeated complaints also i am not receiving monthly copies.
                                No response or commitment is from publisher towards my grievances.
                                I am getting cheated after full payment n not getting my due services claimed by readers digest team.
                                I have subscribed for 1 year subscriptin on 4.9.17 rs 711 for my id rdre17/rd005139/rd[protected]

                                  I have been chasing your office over emails for last month for cancellation of my subscription number : lmi4096124 and account number rd[protected]; but no one responds.

                                  It is a very unprofessional behaviour on part of reader's digest and really frustrating to see money being debited automatically without even renewing the subscription.

                                  Need your response the earliest.
