“2015 Mega Shopping Carnival” Sweepstake Fraud

Dear Sir,
On 26th March 2015, I got a call from Shopcherries to take part in “2015 Mega Shopping Carnival”, which I accepted as a result of highly benevolent language of their staff, assuring me at least one prize. To register my name in the contest I was made to purchase “laxmi & Ganesh – Gold Plated Note” bearing order no. SCM1200007048 of Rs. 1499/-.
Later on, again I received call from this company, congratulating me for my name fixed against the 3rd prize (i.e, Honda CBR Bike). But for securing this prize I was made to do another purchase of Rs. 20,000/- for “One 18 KT IDL Hall Mark Love Pendant” bearing order no. SCM1200007405/7404.
Again few days back I got call from company, explaining me about their internal politics being played regarding the contest, in which I was informed that 3rd prize has to be given to someone else and to secure my name against the second prize (Foreign Tour), I have to do more shopping (about Rs. 72,000) which I clearly negated based on their foul intentions and my limited financial resources. I warned them about my intention of going to consumer court but they replied ‘we care least about your complaint’. Lot of scams are going in our country, who cares?
Now kindly help me in this regard.
Thank you.
