I received a phone call saying he is calling from India Today. I have been subscribing this magazine for over 15 years. I was told that I am among few who are being offered a Holiday package etc. at a nominal charges and requested me to give my address and was then connected to another person who asked me to press my credit card no and ccv no, and told me I will receive my special gift by post. I was suspicious and called India Today Magazine Office if such offer has been made, to which they confirmed and said that the call was from there other office. Few days later I received a parcel containg many books and CDs. I told the courier that I have not ordered any books. The courier said The parcel has a letter in side also and I may check it and that I do not need to pay anything hence I should take it and call the company coming morning. I called the India today book club and told them That I have not ordered any books why I have been sent this parcel? they replied that the offer made to me of holiday is on purchase of these books! I had already purchased most of these books earlier! I informed them that I have these books and i don't need them and I am returning the parcel. They told me my credit card account will credited with the cost charged. since then there has been no reply. I am shocked by the action of this reputed company who has resorted to cheating its customers in this way. I would like to warn all not to heed to any calls /messages/letters etc sent by this company and not to be lured by their free gifts.
