I am a member of the popular Reader's Digest magazine. And I received this parcel, that I could be a winner of Rs 2,20,00,000/-.. and there is lots of more confusing data.
To enter, I should just reply them and send a booklet (Which they call passport), and wait till 1st of feb next year. I need not do anything to enter the draw, but just mail them back the booklet they have sent. They also tell me to buy a Book priced at Rs 999/- and get a free butterfly book mark for free. I have decided not to order this book..
There is also a key bearing a number, which matches with a Toyota Innova car, printed in a phamphlet, given by them.. To enter this draw, I just need to send back the key, and the booklet and wait..
I have seen that all the seals and logos belong to Readers Digest company, and no Hoax is intended (I need not send any money, if I don't want the book, but still be eligible for the draw).. But WHAT'S HAPPENING??
Has the Reader's Digest sunk so LOW?..
tell me what you think

This is a marketing tactic that readers digest has been doing for some years. They also publish the photo graphs of the winners. and their addresses in the RD issues so itcan be true you can send your details and wait stating clearly that you dont want to buy the books. maybe next year you may win a big prize

Not that I know of. My mum used to spend a lot of time ticking YES to the boxes and sending back the car keys they sent and promises of a 100's of pounds in winnings if she entered. She got to the finals and had to sign up for some sort of insurance, she could cancel the direct debit afterwards. In the end she won £5. Which needless to say was spent on the first payment of the insurance.
