Some fraud case of Bag it today

Do not ever trust this india today group book club offers.

DO NOT EVER TRUST THIS INDIA TODAY GROUP BOOK CLUB OFFERS. I had bought reebok sunglasses with watch free for Rs 1298/-. Soon after receiving it , i found that the watch used to run 20-30 mins slow everyday!!! After i contacted them, they asked me to give them for 7 days, and that was because it was 7 days to go for their warranty period. After waiting for 10 days, when i contacted them, they are saying your warranty is over on this date!!!!! Such scamsters and cheaters, i've never seen in my life!!!!!!!! Moreover, i think they are selling cheap fake products in the name of brands! You know, a country of billion people, if you con few million even once, they are making billions of rupees!!!!

BAGITTODAY.com registered me as a customer with my e-mail address

:drilling@bol.net.in and membership no. ITBC 10235416 and sent me e-mails offering various products under huge discounts. Being a shopping website of INDIA TODAY GROUP, I placed an order no. 0GA 100002511 on 01 February 2010 for Benetton ladies Wallet and Belt set and paid Rs 999/= by using my Citi Bank Credit Card. The offer also included that this being my first purchase from BAGITTODAY they shall also give a Reebok Wrist watch absolutely free. The promised delivery of the product was to be made within 3-4 weeks. However, when more than two months elapsed I started contacting the customer care at their telephone no. 40502424 and spoke to many of their executives, at interval of 7-8 days ( Mr. Kuldeep, Mr. Pawan, Ms Jagriti, Ms Prachi, Mr.Bala, Mr. Arun, Mr. Rashid Hulak ( Sr. Executive), Mr. Neeraj and finally Mr. Adiel Asgar. First of all they told me that the packet containing my goods has returned Undelivered due to wrong address provided by me. When I told them that this is absolute nonsense, because firstly my house is never locked, secondly I used to receive minimum3-4 couriers everyday at the same address without any difficutly and thirdly the address provided is complete and is situated in a very renowned and post area of Rohini, Delhi. Upon this they asked me provide nearby landmark for the address for which I provided them with 2 famous nearby landmarks and they promised to send the packet once again. When I did not receive the packet, I contacted them again and asked them to provide me the depatch details alongwith the courier name and consignment no., they told me that the same is not available. After that despite exchange of various e-mails, promises from customer care executives the product is not received till date. On 19th April 2010 when Mr. Arun let me spoke to their Sr. Executive Mr. Rashid Hulak, I was informed that all the despatches were dummy despatches and that is why they do not have any shipping details. Actually they do not have the product in stock. Mr. Rashid suggested me to send them an e-mail, requesting theirein to CANCELL the order. I told him that as per terms and conditions, I cannot cancel the order, and even if I do, as suggested by Mr. Rashid, they shall forfeit my entire money. To this he has no answer
