Despite my complaint since 23 june my query has not been solved n when i called on 25 June I was told the ad was published on the same day but I have seen the navbharat very clearly the ad has not been published. There are seven name change ads where my ad is missing. I'm attaching herewith the snapshot of the navbharat newspaper indore edition 23 june 2015 for your reference and it can be seen the ad has not been published. It has already been 7 days since I'm following up and there is no satisfactory response from their side. Neither they are refunding the money nor the ad is being rescheduled.

I booked an obituary ad with releasemyad.com on[protected]Ad ID[protected]. For the text and image I provided, they charged Rs.2800 mentioning the ad dimension would be 3.5 X 8 Cms. But the ad was released only for the dimension of 3.9 X 6 Cms for which the amount chargable is only Rs. 2340. I sent an email to customer care asking for the refund of excess amount charged (Rs.460) and have not got any reply. The trick they use for cheating is to show the ad preview with lots of spaces and increased length. I have shown the comparision between preview and actual ad in the attached image. Public need to be cautioned not to approach this fraudulent and dishonest service but instead should approach the newspaper directly or other genuine agents for placing their ads

I had Booked my Ad for the Prajavaani Classifieds on 21st May 2015 & made an Online Payment through the Credit Card accordingly. The dates that I had Booked the ads were for 29th, 30th & 31st May 2015. I received a confirmation on 28th May stating that my ad would be released for 29th May 2015. But, I was surprised to find out that there was no ad displayed on the newspaper. It was so easy for the booking department to tell that e would reschedule the ad for next week. What is the use wen they have wasted my time of one week which is highly uncompensatable.

I booked an advertisement from ReleasemyAd.com. It was for classified of Time Of India, Pune. The ReleaseMyAd booking ID is 1173397. I paid 1819/- rupees for 3 classified advertisements to be published on 13th, 16th and 18th April 2015. They did many mistakes to make my life measurable. 1. They said that ad can not come on 18th April after taking my money. I compromised and said ok although it is a cheating only. They are cheaters. 2. Then when I said that publish the ad on my desired dates, they argued a lot saying now it is not possible because they themselves gave some dates while cancelling my first advertisement. Later they agreed to give 3 ads. 3. Very big mistake: While booking the ad I selected the newspaper section as "Studies Abroad" but published the ad in "Professional courses" so all the advertisements were of no use. Nobody was going to look in professional section if he/ she is looking for studies abroad. When I called them, firt of all their call center people don't pickup phones of complaint section fast. So in half an hour it got connected. Then the CSR told me that in your invoice it was "Education" category only so we published it in the section of our desire. Come on... first your site was not good that after taking the selection it changed it, then you decided your own where to publish, even we talked before the ad that in which section it should come but that was also ignore. These people are fraud, cheater, unprofessional and waste of time. They are behaving as if there is no law in this country, just take money online and disappear. I want my full money back from them or they should print of 3 ads again in the correct section.

1175923 — i had booked ad on 22nd april and till 30th status was showing waiting, now showing as more payment required... Are saying that there was technical error on the website.. I will not a penny and drag you to consumer court.. Sort this our

We cheated by release my ad.com.We had booked an ad on release my ad.com on 16/4/2015 for selling my apartments situated in Banaswadi, Bangalore.add id 1174902. On the same date we had sent a purchase order to their service people Ms.Luiza & Mr.Fahad. In that po we had clearly mentioned that the ad should be published in Times property Classifieds ad & we made a payment through RTGS Ref no.BKIDN[protected] amount of Rs.20176/-. We received a call from one of their representative on 17th April afternoon around 2.30 pm saying that the ad will be published in Business proposal category. I had asked them to give proper explanation. None responded properly to our calls from 17th evening till date. We even spoke many times to Ms.Luiza & Mr.Fahad to rectify the issue, whenever we called them, they did not respond properly. Regarding this we had sent a mail to both of them on 18th April, 2015 still we didn't get any reply from them both. Finally the ad published yesterday 19/4/2015 in times of India as business category which we have attached the published ad below. We didn't get not even a single call from customers & think we have spent Rs.20176/- for the advertisement. How can a property ad be posted in business proposal? This is blunder that their representatives have committed. According to the mail which we had sent them on 18th April, 2015 we asked with them to refund the money to their customer care id but still we didn't get from any response We cheated by them. We lost our time, energy & money of Rs.20176/-

I booked an ad Ad ID {1169742}.to be published on 25th March 2015 in The Times of India I went through all the steps over the website & made the payment of Rs 2350.00, by cash. I got a call 24th March from[protected] & he told me that i need to pay up another Rs. 350/- or else my ad would not be published. I told him to get this money collected from my home, as I am disabled person but he refused and asked me to deposit the money in bank. I said cancel my ad as this additional amount he was asking is not a part of deal. I feel cheated as i had already paid what i was asked to pay. Upon mailing you directly to solve the issue, you never even bothered to reply me. Reply me as gentleman. I have also made complains on other sites.

Dear sir, This is to inform you that my advirtisement which was supposed to being published on[protected] in The Telegraph (kolkata edition) was not published. The booking id for the same is 1168956. so, Kindly revert my payment for the same. My mail id is [protected]@gmail.com.

Even after nearly a month after cancellation I have not received the refund amount of my ad id No:1163725. Each time I call the costumer care they tell me that you will receive it in 7 days.This has been the practise for last 3 weeks. Do I need to approach the consumer court for my refund?? I have their e-copy of cash receipt including service tax amount paid.

I had booked an obituary ad for a prayer meeting to be held on 08 Feb 2105. The ad was booked online with releasemyad on 06 Feb and ad was scheduled for TOI, Delhi edition on 08 Feb. On 07 Feb, I received confirmation from them both by email and phone call that all documents had been received and ad would be published on schedule. The ad was not published.As the advertisement was not published, the information of the prayer meeting was not received by a large number of relatives and friends of the departed soul. This has caused tremendous emotional damage. Inspite of repeated emails, no refund has been given and no compensation.

I had requested to book an ad for the newspaper NavBharat Times to be published on 01.03.2015. To my surprise it was found that the particular ad wasn't published and couldn't be found in the above newspaper. I have been countinously calling the customer care but every time I call they transfer my line to so called customer care executive who never answers the call. I have been also writing emails but no respond till now. I am highly pissed off and I will seriously take this issue to court even infact I need to spend more money and time on this. I ahve also send them the attachment of the screenshot of my login page of Releasemyad.com which still reflects the status of my ad as "Ad Status: Payment received. Ad awaiting editorial confirmation". Checked on 02.03.2015 at 12.15 AM and again on 02.03.2015 at 8:00 PM Mudit Malhotra Email:[protected]@live.com Ad ID - 1166659

I booked an adv on 2/12/2014 and was canceled after about two hours due to some unavoidable circumstances and I was told that after 25% deduction my amount will be refunded. But after about a month I am still waiting for refund of Rs.1495/-only.If anyone can help please. Harvinder Singh Cheema #1152/23B, Chandigarh

We have released an ad vide No 1156053 through ReleaseMyAd in The Hindu on[protected] in the classifieds section for Situations vacant with a colour enhancement. However the ad was released without the colour enhancement, when questioned the releasemyad.com coolly says publication doesnot accept colour enhancement on a weekday. We pointed out to them that they have put the ad through editorial scrutiny and only after passing the same the ad was released. When we wrote to The Hindu they say they do accept colour enhancement, incidentally from the picture posted here, one can notice there is a colour enhancement just below our ad. Releasemyad Kolkata Office, says it is the fault of @the Hindu classifieds and they are not responsible and have refunded the money for colour enhancement. Our demand is release the ad with the colour enhancement or full refund. They refuse to answer the question of how come there is a colour enhancement in an another ad on the same day or for sharing the correspondence they had with the Hindu newspaper. If you notice from the second picture the status is 'Awaiting release' even on[protected]. It is apparent that the agency has goofed up in releasing the ad with the colour enhancement request and have wasted our money, and now have chosen to blame the publication. We are the victims having spent the money without getting the desired impact for the ad released. So next time you think of #releasemyad please remember our experience.

Booking Ref. 1152780 With above booking reference on 22nd Nov 2014, i had requested www.releasemyad.com to publish my advertisement Kannada daily news paper Udayavani in Kannada language. But on 26th November's news paper i was shocked to see my advertisement in ENGLISH language. While booking my advertisement itself, i had given all my advertisement text in Kannada language in both JPG and PDF format. When i complained this matter through the same e-mail address on 26th Nov, they promised me by return mail that they will come up with some solution within two days. Since then i was waiting for their response. Today on 10th Dec 2014, when i reminded them once again through an e-mail, they replied that they tried to contact over the phone and some one asked them not to re-publish the advertisement and they closed the complaint. In short, my complaint was through an e-mail. i was waiting for their response by e-mail, how can they close the complaint without replying my e-mail and without resolving it? How could they publish in different language? I want them to RE-PUBLISH my advertisement in Udayavani news paper immediately in Kannada language at FREE of cost, the same size, same text and on the same column. cc.: [protected]@releasemyad.com bcc: [protected]@releasemyad.com bcc: [protected]@caesarpac.com Booking Ref. 1152780 Regards E.
