I received a letter from readers digest saying I have won a sweepstakes amount of $1,576,000.00 USD the letter looks very legitimate but the phone number does not match. The person I'm to call is Jeffry H. Walton at 1-825-747-0785
The prize award administrator is Bridget E. Sullivan
I'm sure it's a scam but I'm wondering if you know these people are using Readers digest to scam people out of money.
I will not be calling them but I did want to make you aware.
Just an FYI, I received a letter in the mail the other day that has Reader's Digest corporate logo on it and other details (e.g., your correct NY address and other info) that has my name & address on it, outlining I wondered USD$1.476m in an Int'l Lottery Board/International Lotto Commission. If you'd like me to send you a copy of this letter, please let me know an email address of where I can send a photo of it to.
The primary reason I see this as totally fraudulent is it has an "825" area code on it for a number to call to claim the amount, where "825" is a Calgary, Alberta area code. So that is probably even tied to some foreign area code so investigators can't actually track down the originators of the letter.
More info on pets, maybe a great recipe once in awhile, more on family relationships, more human interest short stories, more on health. I'm sorry but your content is getting weak, a little boring. Our world has fascinating places and events. What about history of other epidemics and how people successfully survived. Get some creative juices going. Plz give me something different! Get input and ideas from your subscribers!
Keep receiving " NOTIFICATION of IMPENDING DELIVERY INTERRUPTION " notices. I am paid through end of 2020. Contacted company three (3) times nd received another on with our recent copy. After subscription expires we will cancel and ANYTHING from Readers Digest will go unopened into the trash.
Readers Digest Corporation is a SCAM!
I received an invoice in July 2019 and paid $10 for a year's subscription.
I received another invoice in October 2019 and forgot I paid for one already and again mailed a check for $10. Then in December of 2019 I received another invoice and paid again the $10 for the subscription. I know you all think that I am in lala land. But think of all the mail that you get and throw away 99% of it. I just forgot that I made the payments. I am 80 years old and there is no dout that Readers Digest is preying the elderly. They must be stopped. This is a desceptive business practice and management should be accountable. practice.
I was the proof reader for a small daily news company, and since retirement, typos still make my day! In the recent October 2017 issue, a section titled, "Lord, Help Us!" on page 39, a story begins, "While standing on line for confession,....". My red pencil would change it to "in line".
In my opinion,Reader's Digest Singapore Sweepstakes chaired by Ms A. Maddock is using high pressure sales tactics and misleading advertisments to persuade its customers in Singapore to buy many direct sales products throughout the year just that they COULD be the Elite Winner of the $250,000 sweepstakes. So you go on spending money to buy their products and hope to win something. Instead of buying RD products, I realised that it is better for me to use my money to buy Spore Pools Toto or Big Sweep Lottery where I could win 1 to $2 million dollars instead of being assured by Readers Digest Sweestakes Chairman and I could win $250,000. Sometimes common sense is not so common!
Hello at Reader's Digest.
My wife and I are avid readers of Readers Digest Magazine; we also have over time purchased many, many Book and DVD's and CD's.
This is not an idol email.
We were excited to read the offer NEW ZEALAND from ABOVE, however I have noticed a mistake. The bottom picture on the inside full spread page, READS Lake Wakaitipu, Queentowns, SHOULD READ - QUEENSTOWN.
Now, for sharing this little error, on such a fabulous document, ia surely worth a copy of the DVD. I'll leave it to your generosity. By the way, this is shared between you and me in confidence. Very best regards Douglas Hamilton Australia.

readers digest got my credit card # I have 10 charges for 24.95 for a mag I did not order. since when does readers digest cost $250. a year even if I did order it which I did not , I have issues with them in the past . I tried to order large print never got it after many phone calls the last one showed up in large print since than I have sworn off readers.my credit card takes off the charges,then they add more.now this is criminal.
I am going to contact the attorney general about this problem, as I see by the blog, that other people are experiencing the same thing. Books being sent that were not ordered, magazines that were paid for getting canceled, no phone # to contact the delivery of these unwanted unsolicited items, and the corporate phone # mailbox is full! I advise everyone that is unhappy with them, to do likewise, as well as the BBB (Better Business Bureau).
I returned a book to Readers Digest and am now being billed for it. They have sent me three different letters asking for payment and I have answered each one with no response to me except to send another bill. They want me to pay $30.93 for this ONE book WHICH I RETURNED. I am asking and wondering about their record keeping and handling of returns.
My mother recieved CD's last year and paid for them --again this year they tried to do the same thing and she didn't order them --we sent them back--they keep sending mailings to her and we are stock piling the mailings---when in April she sent a letter asking them to take her off their mailing list and that she no longer wants any mailings and does not want to renew her subscription or any of the free ones---they keep sending her a bill and now has recieved a mag for Jan. of 2013---she is almost 92 years old and has a very har time reading anything anymore---she no longer takes care of her $$ either----should I return all the mailings I have stock piled and the mag------she will not pay for any billings you may send her-----what poor management-----her name: Lillian Worthington---I am her daughter---and I use to get a free script----I no longer want mine and my relatives have died that got the other two free scripts----- Please see to it that this is taken care of--------I don't need this headache either---
I thought Reader's Digest was an professional company but it is not. I received a e-mail bill for an order I did not request. I clicked on their sweepstake entry only link and this is what happened. Then it is like the act of Congress to try and reach them. I feel we should see if those treated in this unethical manner should see if we can do a class action suit against them.
This is unacceptable and it has to be stopped.
I am going through a simular situation but I recieved a year long subscription never opening a single book because I didn't order it. When the bill came I called and explained to them that I did not order the magazine, PAID the invoice and was assured the account would be cancelled, but the magazines started coming again, again I called and told them this time I was not paying for them so stop the magazines from coming, again told it would be cancelled, low and behold I check the mail today and there is yet another magazine in the mailbox.
This is the second time that I have received from the Readers Digest a book that I didn't order.
On the previous occasion, I complained, but got no help from your "Customer Service" people. Just the claim that I had ordered it. Which I had not. However, rather than go through a long, drawn out and disappointing series of telephone conversations, I simply paid the invoice, and asked that, I be shown something that might have been a purchase order. No evidence was proferred,
The RDA will not be paid for the "book that was not ordered": Nor do I intend to pay for return postage. The one expense that I may pay is the expense of my attorney
Nor do I intend to pay for return postage
I have sent a note in August 2012 to readers digest and told them I didn't want any more Puzzel Books. I received one yesterday Sept.27,2012 with no bill, no phone number etc. So I am going to try and call Customer Service and tell them. I will NOT PAY FOR THIS BOOK!!!!
You al need to get your acts together.
