[Resolved]  Shine.com — RE:Fraud & Fake job call interview and asking to deposit refundable amount of money

Address:

Hoshiarpur, Punjab

Dear Sir, I have always relied upon INDIAN CONSUMER Complaint forum if I get involved in any of issues and facing any kind of trouble. Today I want Share something with Indian Consumer regarding the various sites providing job seekers an online service to applly for different jobs. I am the user of Shine.com with registered mail id: [protected]@gmail.com from many years and get emails from them. Recently on 17 aug 2015 I received a mail from shine recruiter regarding back office (operational) job in HDFC Bank and on very next day I received a call from Mr. Vikas from[protected] asking me to apply for the job . As I am a student undergoing a training under chartered accountant I am unable to apply for the job. But I want my one of collegue to apply for the job as he”s free from last 2-3 years and always in search of job . So, I have reffered my friend Mr.lovedeep for the same and I have marked the mail from his ID:[protected]@gmail.com. On 18/aug/2015 my friend received a telephonic call interview and at that time I am also with him and all things are going smooth. The said personnel representing shine.com asked me to deposit refundable amount of 1600 Rs for the appearing in the personal interview. Firstly I think it might be a fake and asked for a confirmation mail from them and I received the same. I trusted the mails received from Shine.com and deposit the amount the slip of which is enclosed herewith: After submitting the amount again my friend received a call to deposit 3500 Rs. For the purpose of document verification and that is again a refundable amount at the time of personal interview. After that my friend called me as I have reffered him to apply for the same and I come to know about it and I marked immediate mail to the top executive of Shine.com on [protected]@shine.com to know about the correctness of the same.But I have received no revert back from them and the next morning on 25 aug 2015 I called them and asked them about the Standard procedure and the personnel said me that there is no such requirement to deposit the amount and said its Fake and they will investigate this matter and will revert back in 2 or 3 days. Since I come to know about it and I have not deposited the further amount of Rs.3500. After that I think for a while that its not only Lovedeep and I relied on these online job portals that offers jobs to job seekers there might be so many persons and get involved in these matter and the end result is wastage of money and no hope of recovery. The fake personnels like Vikas get our bio-data with ease from these online job portal institutions that give surety to having code of secrecy and no to share our records and details plus provide assured jobs. Since I am unaware about any kind of online fraud to be reported to Govt through any kind of FIR to police deptt. And due to breach of trust on SHINE.COM even after marking mail to [protected]@shine.com I want to repot the case to INDIAN CONSUMER complaint forum. I am trusting Indian Consumer from last few years and they build my trust and confidence upon them as they resolved my previous issue in ease and smooth way without any harassment. Kindly help me to trace that person to be penalized legally as I do”nt want to recover any kind of money from him but want that fraudster to know there real place besides the BAR of police station.
