I got a promotional mail from indiatoday bookclub telling about the special offer of 8 cd-pack (elements) with reebok travel bag & T-shirt for Rs:798 plus Rs:300 handling charge. I placed the order relying on the goodwill of the company. After 2 weeks i received a VPP from m/s indiatodaybookclub. I paid Rs:1099 as per inv: no: ORAO90037357 including handling charge. But when i opened the pack, i found only the cds. An attached leaflet asked me to log on to http://offers.indiatodaybookclub.com to claim my gifts. But when tried, i found that the site doesnot exist. I then called their customercare no: and was kept in the line for more than 10 minutes without any result and finally was directed again to log onto another site. Later i found that, that site announcing the offer to be expired. Then i mailed again to m/s indiatodaybookclub and for each mail the company is asking me to give inv-no:, unique id, member-no;, etc etc etc... with out any solid answer. I found this as daytime robbery using the goodwill and brand name of indiatoday group. Can an organization like indiatoday do this and walk away...! This act is more fraudulant than anonymous people offering crores of dollars in non-existant african banks...! ananthan.kerala.
