[Resolved]  Hindustan Times: Shine.com — Blackmail

Address:Maharashtra

Received various calls from Shine to pay them upgrade to get membership benefits. I have constantly refused.
Now They block recruiters from contacting me which is a general service without payment.
I was asked to send a mail to [protected]@shine.com but havent received reply and they refuse to give me contact details of Amstel Ltd. the company which contacted me.
Most probably the company feels i am not interested and not replying and I lose the job opportunity.
Its been8 days since my complaint and have not heard from SHINE, who is arm twisting me to pay them and get the free basic services.
I hope this complaint moves somebody in the PR team and they get their team to respond.
This is just my first attempt.. I will get them famous on the internet.
DIRECT MARKETING RULES!!

AGREED with the previous review. Shine.com is a as good (or bad) as if it were for money collection. This can sound so wrong, but when THE HR EXECUTIVE calls you, you'll know it. Don't blame me for my words. You register on their website, post your CV and apply for jobs. You won't get a response from any company. (Trust me I have a strong profile). After you submit 10-12 applications, a lady (HR Executive) would make a SALES call (stop. read. yea. YES she is an HR Executive as per her e-mail signature) and tell you to pay up Rs. 6500 for 'improving' your resume (as if you do not know how to make it. lol). You say no I don't want that service. Specify it. They tell you they also forward you CV and apparently TRAIN you for the interview. (I was going bonkers on the call by then). They then promise to refund the money (not as clearly stated and explained over the phone). I said I will think about it. They already have your E-mail address as you have registered on the website. That lady would then send you the Terms and Conditions of the 'said' contract, which is a must read. Basically you have NO say at all in this contract. They can even choose to reduce the refund to whatever amount, the candidate is bound by this. Ridiculous business. And whats more the HR Executive is doing so much HR work, that she sends 4 of the those emails intended for other candidates to your e-mail address. She called again telling me to pay up, I said I am not interested in the services, and the HR Executive hung up as if she was the only one who had a bad day.Tell us this is the most professional service available which how they want you to see it. I wouldn't even give 1 star but for the website.
