i am calvina braganza from goa. every time i recieve letters saying that i am in the final stage of sweepstakes and i will most possibly receive a car or a huge sum of cash but i have not recieved anything till date as even though i am a loyal customer for readers digest since more rhan 5 years. iam anxiously waiting for my prize to come but still i have not recieved even a consolation prize a single time.
i am very much fed up of buying the products as they are so costly and i cannot afford them and i cannot spend my precious time in the stupid sweepstakes committee since i am a loyal customer of readersdigest since more than five years and i recieved all false promises of winning prizes and i have not recieved even a consolation prize till date. hoping that some good action is taken regarding this complaint.

Sir,
i had participated in readers digest sweepstakes 2009. i was informed that i had been selected in the list of 3500 assured winners list by correspondence again and again. But i am sorry to inform that it found false and none of the communication received from your end not even on my mail id. i think it is not fair. i think a communication regarding not winning etc must be informed to the participants. if many correspondence can be done before draw so a single correspondence may also be done after draw.
please reply me on my email id [protected]@rediffmail.com
NO BODY IN THIS WORLD WILL GIVE YOU A CAR OR RS. ONE CRORE JUST TO BUY
SOME BOOKS FROM RD.

Jago bhai jago...
Scam! First i got many emails from readers digest stating i am up for running to win a major cash prize if i fill in application along with subscribing to magazine. I did not reply. Then I got an envelope in the mail asking to fill out a bunch of forms and sending them in a yes envelope that would win me $500 000 plus a car. I did not respond thinking that would be the end of that but no. Couple days ago I got an email saying in a couple days tey are ready to transfer $500 000 plus thousands more into tha bank of my choice as long as i respond right away. Unbeliavable that they would try to manipulate people that might be financially vulnerable. It makes me sick. I'm interested in anybody elses take on this.
readers digest sweepstakes has all the numbers already pick out before the draw date and it is pretty bad when you cheat your customers by them entering like everybody else does...

I agree with the delay in delivery of issues. I do not understand the reason for the Authorities of the Readers Digest to refrain from answering the customers. I also experience the delay.

To whom it may concern:

I am lydia s.petalino, your loyal subscriber for fifteen years now. I think it is now the high time for me to ask if you are really including my name in the draw or is their really a draw that happen because its been too long for now that i been joining but nothing happen. You are always making myself feel that maybe one of this days i will win .. but again nothing happen. You could just imagine for fifteen years of hoping and sacrificing my budget just to join your sweepstakes draw with a big hope that someday i will win. I been waiting and looking forward and hoping I will win because of your promises. Your letters to me always encouraging that you and you alone is always the word you are using so that I will again send back my entries of another hope again. So ... now i would like to ask you if you are really having a draw and why with all those years i have been joining nothing happen. Did you not feel guilty that for fifteen years i receive nothing win from your sweepstakes draw?
