India Today Book Club
Online Complaints

This is with reference to call received from India Today Book Club on 29th March, I wish to inform you that during call, It was informed me that I have won the Lucky draw, in which I will get Rs. 40, 000/- Cash Prize. But for cash prize I need to purchase any one product from your company, which will enable on activation of My order ID and After activation, I will get DD of Rs. 40, 000/- within 10 to 12 days.

So I decided to purchase Aptek Cam Corder from company, for which I made Credit Card Payment of Rs. 7498/- through IVR. On Receipt of Consignment when I called customer care no 011-40502424 at 3.10 PM on 05th April, "Mr. Pavan Kumar", told me that It was a mis-commitment (Customer Care person knows that it was committed). So I asked "Mr. Pavan Kumar" to hand over phone to senior person, He rudely gave the answer that "They (Seniors) gone for lunch and call after 2 Hours".

Earlier I also received another call from another person, he was introducing himself as "Mr. Bright Selvyn, Senior HOD, Selection Committee" on 30th March at around 10.55 am, asking me give one more order, since I have won prize of Cash Rs. 500, 000/-. But Thank God I had not gave him order, saved around Rs. 35000/-.

Kindly help me in knocking down this scam being played by India Today Book Club.

Phone number through which I got call was- 011-30818600 and 012-03310700, which is I guess a Delhi numbers. Whenever I try calling back this number it says- “number not in use” for 012-03310700 and nobody picking up call from 011-30818600 .

I would expect a strong action against India Today so that this damage could not be done to any more customers like me.
