I did not deposit the $4, 815.00 in my account to receive a certified check for $242, 000.00, because I knew it was not real.

on 11/20/2007 spoke to David Kelly (786) 363-4852 and ordered 4 years of Reader's Digest for $19.95. Payments cleared my bank on 12/07/2007, 01/8/2008, 02/07/2008, and 03/07/2008. Continue to receive bills from Reader's Digest.

I received in the mail a letter from Reader's Digest. The letter came in a plain white envelope, post marked from Canada. It also had a check in it for $3, 481.10. The check was made out from AIG Annuity Insurance Company

The letter said I had won a lump sum payout of $255, 069.00. The check I received was to cover any charges that may be required before I receive my funds. It was singed by Jonathan Walsh, Prize Disbursement. Nice picture of him too.

To receive my funds I was to contact Paul Givon or Erika Cohn at 1-912-480-0353 to activate my claim before I deposit the check in my bank.

When I called the man was very Vague about how I won the money. He said I had to put the check in my bank and then call him back. At that point he would get the information he need to put the rest of the money into my account. Big Red Flag went up in my head.

I looked Reader's Digest up on the internet. Checked for Sweepstakes rip off and found out the letter was a rip off. My big concern is people who would take this serious and not think to look in to it before they put the money in the bank.

I keep recieving bills for books that I "ordered" from readers digest, according to them I have 4 books for $29.17 EACH. I have not ordered anything from them, Nor have I gotten these books. I have tried calling and be removed from the list, to clear my account. 3 Months ago now is when I started. Im still recieving bills and I guess still ordering books. Yesterdays mail had another book bill in it. Looking for a way to speak to a manager but everytime you ask customer service to speak to one, they hang up. If anyone else tries I wish you the best of luck. Goodbye Reader's Digest! Im done playing! Keep your books!

I received a card from my subscription to Reader's Digest. The entitlement was to enter a contest for a Sony GPS & the access code was 33791. The contest, per the card is scheduled to end Feb. 28, 2009. The directions were to go to www.rd.ca/gps. Each entry to that does not lead to any contest. I think that Readers Digest should be investigated for their contests. I am assuming there is a law to protect Consumers against fraud & this to me constitutes fraud.
