Dear all,

I've been repeatedly receiving invitation after i ordered once about an year back for the prize claiming 45 Lac Rupees. Now i've been repeatedly receiving Gift and Winning notifications worth Crores to be paid either in instalment or at once along with some director's special invite.
These persons have done some research in fake market collection of money without any return assurance. Now what Reserve Bank of India winning amount could not do is being done be them.

By the way this institution is already declared Bankrupt twice in Feb 2013. These moves are aimed at collecting money by be-fooling people.

I have also received such mail. But it is really bad that they have been continuing the same practice since 3 years and nobody out there to stop this. Reader's Digest is such reputed magazine and why is all this allowed?
i think i have done mistake by subscribing to this readers digest...somebody can tell me how to get rid of these people and my money to be refunded...
Reader's digest publication house is the greatest cheats!!! they cheat unsuspecting subscribers. Fleece customers of their hard earned money and never send the subscription copy. If one follows up with them the inefficient support staff makes false promises and blames the postal service for non receipt of subscription copies. They lure subscribers in the name of sweep stake.

Do not subscribe to the magazine as each and every staff is involved in cheating the public!!!
