hey2.. anyone received letter from reader's digest??

they said im eligible to win some cash.. grrrr.. 250k.. woot2,,

but i need to subscribe to reader's digest.. rm148 for 12 monthly issues.. by subscribing, i can get free watch.. percarlo d alessio..

they said the contest by invitation only.. and only top 2% received the chance.. anyone else?

im just too curious, is it a scam or whaat???

tq..

every ambank customer received it

it's a legal scam

their reader digest magazine is good, but their way of advertising is horrible, spamming ur mailbox with all this rubbish without the choice to opt out.

saya pun dpt.. u only 250k ? so little?

my dad subscribed. and he really gets that watch and bla bla bla for free lor. dunno about the contest thing though..

dont subscribe...every month they keep telling u some cash...but in the end nothing...i kena before...

and regarding the subscribe to reader's digest for 12 month, after the 12 month ends, they silently continue potong your credit card for another 12 month..

A legal scam it is.

ooo yeahh..
thx for telling..
i've seen this kind of advertising before.. but not sure under what company..

to xavi. LOL. im typing this post in hurry, so just put any number that in my mind.. 250k.. hoho,, actually a lot more leh..

U kena scammed, later will say you are top 20, buy their books to have better chance, then top ten, buy some more books, top five, top 3 then....quiet. In the end you already paid more than RM500 to buy their worthless stuff. Oh yes, they send out this type of mail to thousands of people, as long as 10-20% people actually answer and buy their books, enough to cover their expenses.

Imagine if more than 20% actually send them money...ha!ha!

i received it in Jan 2010 when i'm Ambank Credit Card user,

and received again and said i'm Maybank CC user..both r 250k.LOL..

so the banks are actually selling them our details ???

thats invasion of privacy weiiiii

rm25 ok? tak ok la

woOOooOOaahh so many lucky peepz !!
I had one too

LOL i got 1 and a unknown key, should i go to headquater there and get the full details ? For sure i won't pay anything

I received it also, they send me a fake car key
LOL

agree!

I received a letter from reader's digest too saying that I stand a chance to win rm250k++ bla..bla..bla......and I also have a chance to win a civic car.
I was surprise that reader's digest would send me this kind of thing so the first thing that comes into my mind is: SCAM!!!
I thought these contests were fake and looked up the official website and found out they are really having these contest.

I got this and subscribed 1 year mag last time

Reader’s Digest Fails to Award Prize to M’sian Contest Winner

JOHOR BARU, 5 JULY, 2011: A technician's hopes of going on a free trip to Europe after winning a Reader's Digest competition were dashed when the magazine failed to award him the prize.

Zul Iskandar Kasan, 30, claimed he bought RM7,500 worth of books and CDs from the company as a requirement to enter the competition.

“I received a letter from the magazine along with a catalogue asking me to order some of the items to win attractive prizes, including an all-expenses paid trip to Europe.

“I was lured by the attractive prizes and I bought the books and CDs to win them,” he told the Consumer Claims Tribunal here.

Zul Iskandar said he received several letters informing him that he had won a travel package to Europe, more than RM100,000 cash and other prizes.

“When I did not see my name printed in the magazine's winners' list, I tried calling them a few times demanding an explanation,” he said.

Tribunal president Siti Naaishah Hambali ordered Reader's Digest to refund RM6,600 to Zul Iskandar within 14 days of the award being served on Reader's Digest in Kuala Lumpur.

obviously its a scam.

but you can try if got nothing to lose

wow i got a key saying that its the key to opening the chest of a 250k money, wow i rich edi.

Last time, they also sent me a key for BMW car. Of course, not the real key. They always state that you are one step ahead to win "lucky draw gift", but provided you purchase their products. The purchase of their "add-on" products never end, and the price of the product also quite expensive.

Anyway, Reader Digest is a nice magazine! Just its distributor marketing way a little bit annoying.

thats it? the kept on sending me stuffs i dunno... like their own storybook compilation, some other articles, even dictionary then assume i oredi buy it if i dont return it.... then i go open all the packages thought they gave me for free only found out that big chunk of cash kena deduct.

if wanna read, go magazine stall buy better.

save my time to return them the story books i don wan.

rm148 right? ngah.. I got mine 72hr letter today for 2012 stuff... say im 1% of selangor top ranked finally with a loop hole of "If you win" stuff.. psycho you into think you're so special and such. FYI, they have two payment method, one for subscription (mail) and another golden privilege for a rm160 cook book (email)... urgh.. I just give the no payment letter la after I go to giant...

I emailed them and ask if its a real scam or not and they say its real blah blah la and they 'dont' force you to pay anything but they guilt trip you to look like you lose a lot of stuff for not paying rm200- for their stuff. I think group-on has a better chance to subscribe to RD for rm72 than rm148.

I only read RD in libraries. Magazine too short for me.

I want to believe them.. but I'm too broke to care. I've already spend enough for a new makeup palette anyway.

Thanks for keeping me grounded anyway.

how do they even come up with this !% bull anyway? I'm top 1% based on what exactly? Pftt...If it's too good to be true (and it asks for credit card number) then it's a scam..

i dapat rm310k..with final passport....valid day 7 day only...nak kene hantar wet 148 for subcrib...plus adiah bonus kereta...so?

sme dgn sy...dpt with final pasport....tp boleh pilih nk langan atau x yg rm148 tu...

Back then during my zaman 2" I also thought it's truth.
Contest is to tipu you gip them money buy their paper.

they ask u buy until u have no money left..wasting time.. in the end, they untung

i came across this topic when i am typing to check the contest ...coz i am sceptical, and still thinking is a scam....but maybe will just send in the without subscription and see if they are for real...

I don't know where they got my address too. First was to email me. And I need to buy their so expensive CDs. Then they found my home address. Ignored. Then I change job and they manage to get my name and post to my office too!(I purchased a few online stuff sent to office, mostly those groupons thing) I was about to subscribe Rd ( i thought rm148 was ok. I can read some nice stuff also. Used to read RD in school library) but decided to check if this is scam and thank goodness for this forum... true enough.. Scams!

wow, this scum happen since 2010 ?
and now their increase the prize !!
hahaha..
i just received letter last friday said im able to win rm625k prize in their 27th SUPER CONTEST !!

scam by Reader Digest..

later say ur unlucky..in fact no one actually win.

long time no read and digest liao

I got this once every two month.. BMW, civic, 1 mil cash, 250k, trip to Europe/Japan/Korea.. Lost count since when I got it.. And I don't have any cc at all.. Annoying to the max, my family thought I enter mlm or such company because of this..

hush... i dunno what the hell is reader digest. 5 or 6 yrs ago i rented my house to a sarawakian n maybe she had joinned the contest last time. then i moved back to my house few months ago n received reader digest mails today. the mail looked important then i emailed to inform reader digest that the person had moved back to sarawak. do u know what did they reply? "we have updated our record. u may receive few mails from us again". wahlao ehhh... looks like they r playing around with ppl lar.

I received the letter regarding prize from reader digest. Surprisingly this scam started since 2010 or even earlier.

LOL... the irony

http://www.rd.com/advice/saving-money/7-on...-to-avoid-them/

this scam has been active since the 1980s.

my dad was suckered into subscribing readers digest and bought some of their books as well, all in the hope that we will eventually win one of the prizes offered.

we never won anything, but the silver lining is that it made our English better.

in the sense that my dad forced us children to read them books and magazines.
