Dear Sir / Madam,

This is to inform you that on Telemarketing I was called by the caller on my mobile that he is calling from M/s. Living Media India Limited (Living Media India Limited is a media conglomerate based in New Delhi the publisher of India Today) and on a lucky draw by India Today Book Club, among 50, 000 people only 5 persons have been selected for a Home Theatre System of Philips (model 0022) (DVD with USB port with Recording facility) worth Rs. 7598 including a Reebok classic wrist watch worth Rs. 2599, 2 days free stay and any five star hotels in any place in India including a gift voucher from Suraj diamond & jewelers’ worth Rs. 20000. I am also one of the lucky winners. Due to my bad luck I booked and made the payment of Rs. 7598 via Telephone through my ICICI credit card on 13-3-2010. Booking ID was 110025581. I was assured that the product will reach within 3 days. After a few hours I was again called by the same caller with a new offer of another product i.e Samsung cell phone worth Rs. 21, 000/- in Rs. 13798/- along with so many free offers but fortunately I was not having balance / limit in my credit card and hence I decline the offer.

On 23- 03-2010 through ARAMEX Courier I received the Shipment No. 6164763975 from Living Media India Limited. I was shocked to see the Philips DVD player is of DVP 3316 model without USB port and without recording facility. Philips Home theatre is DSP-2500 and highly substandard Reebok watch – I166313. I believe Chinese watch of Rs. 150 is far better than this watch. I have not been given 2 days free stay at any five star hotels in any place in India including a gift voucher from Suraj diamond & jewelers’ worth Rs. 20000.

Having regard to the nature and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that either M/s Living Media India Limited or the suppliers of the Reebok watches or the concerned intermediaries have involved in dubious business to throw the dust into the eyes of the public for pecuniary gains.

I shall be grateful, if the concerned authorities intervene and do the needful in the matter at the earliest.


Thanking you Sir,

Indresh Chandra Kala

I have ordered 8 CD, of which I got 6CD in Broken case and two CD in good shape, two CD with scratches in front. Beware!

I have ordered some books and 2 or 3 cds to india today book club last month, but now when i received a vpp from them i found three odd books in the packet. I m trying to contact them but nobody is responding... I m trying to log on their site, but they are not accepting my membership no. I m really feeling cheated. Paid Rs 525 and didn't get what i wanted.

I had placed an order of 6 books and CD's where a few were for Re 1 and rest at Mrp price, but I received 3 books and I CD only one book for Re 1, and one book which is a duplicate. I am unable to check my order because the membership no given is not valid.
