There was offer from Navbharat Times (Gurgaon Edition) during world cup cricket Tournament 2011 that on answering simple three questions, three persons will be awarded by Mobile Phone on sending SMS to given No. I was also glad to see three names of the winner on daily basis. On 6th March I got a phone call from Navbharat Times informing that I have selected as winner for 5th March Contest. For this my photo was asked to send immediately and assured me that somebody from Navbharat Times will contact me within 15 days to collect the award. On 7th March, My name, Phone no. and photo was published in the Newspaper. After 15 days, I contacted to Navbharat Times and inquired about the award. Again I was assured that some body will contact me very soon. But regret to inform you that nobody has contacted me till date.
It seems that the contest, published in Navbharat Times was not true. It was just to earn money via SMS and make fool to public. This contest was same as fraud contest as we read in the newspapers and media write about them as they can publish as main news.
My suggestion for a so reputed newspaper like Navbharat Times, most readable newspaper is that they should not published such fraud contest otherwise so called reputation will be lost very soon.- Deepesh Kumar- 9958032333
