Last year-2007 I subscribed to to India Today magazine during a promotional season. I registered for a one year period, wherein there was an offer that a travel bag would be sent as gift . The fine prints were missed by me. After 2 months when the parcel arrived by Post, I had to pay the postman a sum of Rs 700.00 /- to get the parcel. The letter accompanying the parcel said that the parcel costs Rs 700.00 /- and contains free gift worth Rs 800.00 /-. Opening the parcel I found one red travel bag < which would cost rS 150 /- in the market, and two CDs ( Encyclopedia Britannica Guide to Shakespeare and another one whose title I donot recollect- because I have thrown it away ) - both the CDs were found to be blank . These idiots are under the impression that Indian consumers are dumb.
These guys regularly send me mail from the id
noreply@offers.indiatodaybookclub.com

The last mail says that I am a winner and a swatch watch has been won. I shall have to pay Rs 2999.00 /- and shall get two watches whose cost is 8000.00 /-. I know these guys would have bought Rs 200 worth of chalu watches from the bus stands or railways stations and send these across. What gross misuse of a brand name.

If any concerns in this regard, anyone can mail me at angshumanroy at gmail.com
