India Today Book Club
Cheating on TELE SALES

Dear Sir,

On 13-09 I got a call from India Today Book Club, the caller name is Mr Sarat. He told me that I got selected for Rs1 lakh diamond Diwali Bonanza Offer. In this offer I can purchase up to 1 lakh of Diamond jewellery from Surat Diamond. I will get 20 number vouchers of Rs5000 each. For that i have to pay Rs 14996 and Rs299 handling charges and they will give me a 22 items (Swatch Watch-2 Nos, MTV Roadies Sunglasses- 2 Nos, Reebok wallet key chain - 2 Nos, Books of three title – 2 nos each, MTV T-Shirt- 2 Nos, Reebook Track Suit- 2 Nos, Reebok Shorts- 2 Nos, Reebok LITE Speed Shoes - 2 Nos, Reebok VB Thong Slipper- 2 Nos), two holiday voucher free. I have made the payment after a through inquiry to their correspondence. Their correspondence Mr Sarat and his senior clearly told me that I can club those 20 vouchers and can made a single purchased of upto 1 lakh from Surat Diamond. They also told me that i am among those few lucky persons in India who get the offer of clubbing the vouchers and if i am still not satisfy then i can return my gift and they will return my money. After much hesitation I make the payment seeing justthe name of India Today. The persons Mr sarat also give me a security code which will enable me to clubbed he voucher. I am very confused now

I have received the material, though some material are not of my size given to them, Now when the time of vouchers is came they are now telling me that I cannot clubbed the vouchers. I had still to get the voucher. As i enquiry about it they are telling i can not get it clubbed and the person make me another offer of giving me physical diamond for that i have to again pay Rs15000 or so. I think it is a clear case of cheating and misleading the public.

I had great respect in ur group and i am a regular reader of ur so many books. i am also a subscriber of reader digest. If this will happen with me then i will lost completer faith in ur group.

I also

Hope yu will see my problem and take right decision to get me the 1 lakh gift vouher by which i can make a purchse of upto 1 lakh at a time or i want my money (Rs14996 Rs299) back

after somdays of the complain i again get a call from the complain dept, they are telling now that sorry for the problem i faces and can only give me a compainsation for the mistake

that also upto Rs3000.00 or so (Any product wroth of it), But how it is justified?

Earlier when i conatcted their customer care and told them that i am being cheated by them twice they gave me a sucking reply that why u r got cheated second time. This means they r there to cheat the public

What i concern is how many people like me has been cheated by your tele seller personal. A most reputed group like India today cheating people, its sound very sad. I am a regular reader of ur magazine and books specially reader digest, but now i feel cheated and feel very low.

I thnk it is now high time and this group's this frud and cheating to general public shoul be highlighted in media.
