remit2India plz stop ur annoying marketing campaigns(+2230833100)

Remit2India.com has started these annoying marketing campaigns bombarding me

  1. by calling me and asking me to send more money back to India @ odd times pretty much every week , even though I send money back pretty much every month to pay my EMI. I wish I can send a million dollars a month back to India to keep u guys happy but I don’t make that much.
  2. Email blasts reminding me that the US dollar conversion rate has gone up.  I can live with 1 email blast not with 8 of them which is called spamming ur users.

remit2India.com I really appreciate ur service and concern to notify me about higher rates but keep it to a simple email blast or a phone call, not both of them @ same time.

It would be nice if u guys provide some kind of option in the site for the marketing preference and I would happily say no to email/phone campaigns. Me and my friends will be happy,if you can get this done and don’t bombard with marketing campaigns.

If there was any other better service provider to transfer money to India, I would happily switch over to them, but not so I’m stuck with you guys.

BTW if some one doesn’t pick ur calls after 2 or 3 times it clearly means they don’t want to talk to you and Yes I have added ur number to my block list (+2230833100).

Please Google  ur above number and see it for urself how much people are annoyed @ ur campaigns.

Update on May 22, 3;55 PM:

I finally picked up the phone from this number again to complain again after listening to their music for like 5 minutes.

Who calls you and puts up a music and asks us to wait for them?

Long story I tell the CSR that plz stop calling me with marketing and she mentions it was just a reminder call and I still insist that I don’t want them and out of no where she hung up the phone.

remit2India ur customer care sucks but ur service is free, so until its free I will use you guys and also act like a jerk like you guys do.

End of Tax Season 2008…

Generally I procrastinate filing the tax every year but this year I filed it too early considering my standard.

Although I’m not getting much in federal and paying some to CA :( tax its the free e-file feature, sudden interest to file my tax and get the return before federal govt goes bankrupt  ;)   that motivated me to file early.

Thanks to FreeTaxUSA.Com for providing free federal tax return using the coupon code ‘FEDFREE‘.

People say California is on the verge of going bankrupt but still they made to provide this free e-file tool called CalFile which is pretty good. Instead of free e-file California can just remove the state tax itself :twisted: , I wish……..

Both the free e-file option are basic  and it should be good for most of my single friends in H1b or in F1 OPT.

Free aaah Kudutha ……. :lol:

Is it a boon or bane..

50 is a reality no more a value just for ease of calculation,

50 is a boon no more a night mare for NRIs,

50 is a bane for people buying petrol in India,

ICICI NRI services sucks..

If ur wondering Y I haven’t blogged for the last week is because I have been trying to open an NRI account with ICICI bank which is a real pain. They made my life so miserable by each call center representative/ relationship managers/ online resources giving me different instruction for me resolve the discrepancies.

I wasn’t treated like a customer it was like as if I’m begging them to save my money in their bank. My dad worked for ICICI and obviously I liked th organization since he worked their. Not any more and I’m so pissed with them that I’m not going to recommend ICICI to any one or may be I will go one step ahead and request my friends to close their accounts with ICICI.

Looks like the good old days of ICICI serving its customer has gone or may be I was treated differently snce my dad worked with them.
