[Resolved]  Livewires Media Institute — Cheated

Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

I was lured towards making a big advance payment and when the time came, whatever was promised was never delivered by the institute. Infact, they are scamming students to such an extent that even their instructors are ex-students of the institute and not professional ones.
They will personally call you when you send an inquiry through their website, they’ll force you to come to their institute, they give you a nice tour of the place and with sweet words will convince you to register ASAP as the batches are full blah blah OR that you are eligible for a ‘scholarship’ and you only have two days to accept this scholarship. When you rush to make the payment, they will then simply make you dance on their beats once the money is in their hands. The courses will never start on a promised date (one day its ‘the coming Thursday’ and one day its ‘next week for sure’, the batch timings are not offered as promised in your first meeting (you may want evenings and they'll only offer mornings), the way they praise about their instructors, that also is a scam as the instructors will end up being ex-students who don't even have an agenda while they teach (they are all over the place when they teach), you ask for a refund and they'll give you the rudest look ever.
Personally, Liwewires was a big scam. I've made so many visits asking them to start their batches soon and unsurprisingly, I would be joined by several other students and parents as well. Every time I went, I would see a student depressed or a parent fighting for their refunds. An extremely bad experience for me and I'm seeking for a refund as nothing is being delivered as promised.

hii
myself harsh
i am looking for good institute for doing sound engineering . so pls suggest me the good institute.
Opening up institute's branches doesn't prove that an institute is good nor does it do any good to student by saying only "You have to hard work". It has to prove by showing example and producing student's work which are worth considering and professional! And if the students are placed in real organization of repute then it proves that the institute has something! Placing them somewhere whose face is only a website, is no placement at all. Every nook an corner these days every one finds a media institute and mostly the faculties are failed professionals who could not etch out out there in the field. They more often than not have vague idea about their subjects. Once I faced a professional from these type of institute and asked few questions which he could not answer and started giving excuses. I am not going to mention the name of the institute here but I have faced them not once. Once I asked a photographer from one of these "professional" institutes what is the difference between deep focus and shallow focus ? He started blabbering something which showed his ignorance about the subject. I know very well that he can earn few bucks and get away knowing nothing about photography because with DSLR camera photography has become easy for people. Again I asked one passed out direction student "what is narrative beat?" he told me he never heard any thing like that. I asked second time what is High key lighting? He did not say anything. Forget complex film analysis, these are rudimentary... So institute has to show the way and give students solid knowledge. Only giving excuses and beating same drum "you have to do hard work" won't prove anything except showing that they these institutes have other motives than teaching real stuff!
Thanks Rishiprabhu..I was about to join the class. But after reading your post I decide not to join and try to find some other acting institute where I can genuinely learn acting.

Thanks for the imp information.
Pathetic institute in india...Paise lutne kaa kaam karti hai yeh institue.Inki institute ka ek slogan yeh honaa hona chahiye.. "Badi badi baatein...Vadapaaun sorry Dher saare paise lutte..."

Remember one thing before reacting to negative remarks that there are more negative people around us and don't let this negativity to play with ur brains friends.
Ask these people to give there contact no and receipt no of admn so that we can go and verify with the institute if they have are really genuine and there complains are correct.

If livewires is in all over india and every few months there new branches are coming up what does that mean?

Please think before reacting and before creating an image.

This institute is fake as [censored]! My classes never started and what a waste of money. I paid 27, 000 and this is what I get? Live wires, you are going to hell! Bharti from Pune and this Nigga from Bombay. Whatever the #### your name is! KARMA IS A #####! You know it too.
karma143's reply, Feb 8, 2017
@erix Whoever you are it really proved that you are writing the name's of people without knowing because people like you are so frustrated in your life that you don't know, there's no bharati working in livewires from more than a year in Pune. Because this is LUKE ANDREWSON a student of pune livewires
It just proved you are a BIG ##### who wants to spoil the name of this institute.

contact me @Erix if you really have the balls to do that [email protected]

Even if you must have not taken the admission @ gunpoint DARLING try to be mature rather than abusing others :)
NOW LET ME TELL YOU KARMA IS A ##### BOY :* AND TRUST ME DARLING YOU ARE A...
KINDLY COME TO PUNE LIVEWIRES AND CHECK OUT THE CONCERN PEOPLE OVER THERE
RATHER THAN JUST WRITING THE NAMES WHICH PROVES YOU'RE JUST SPOILING THE NAME OF LIVEWIRES SO WHO IS A #####
YOU ARE A B###H NOT THE INSTITUTE OR THE PERSON
fake commitments by counselor rupali

i had taken an admission for acting and what ever commitments given by her were never fulfilled and they just cheat everytime by saying that there is last 2 seats left and once admission taken they dont even care
even at the time of admnission i asked her abt complains on this site she said its competitors make this but this time i am no competitor but the student who lost 98000 fees and promised me free portfolio but i saw that was made by there photography students as practice who were learning photography

kindly beware of such people who fool u and rupali counselor is liar and fool all punekars

please help! what to do!
viha143's reply, Feb 26, 2017
hii dear i don't know you personally nikashius but am viha and i was the student in pune livewires they fool everyone by saying the same and what you feel these complains are put by competitors no dear I WOULD BOLDLY TELL YOU NO LIVEWIRES PLEASE, send your friends in this different institutes there strategy is same and u will be shocked from so many years they are doing the same.
my no is 7769954985 and i was fooled by RUPALI and no person or female is such a fool to put her name and no anyone can bluntly call me for feed back.

ITS YOU TO DECIDE WHO IS YOUR FRIEND AND WHOSE YOUR ENEMY, DO NOT SPOIL YOUR CAREER WITH SUCH PEOPLE, AND I HAVE THE LIST OF ALL MY FRIENDS IN THAT BATCH AND OTHER COURSE STUDENTS WHO WERE VERY MUCH UNHAPPY WITH LIVEWIRES . ONE PERSON CAN LIE BUT NOT ALL STUDENTS.

DURING MY SESSION HAVE ALSO SEEN STUDENTS GETTING POLICE FOR LIVEWIRES.
i read all these above comments good and bad both and what seems to me that the people who have shared the negative comments are genuine and those who are trying to defend are not. I called the institute and the guy asked me to enroll asap to avail the 40% scholarship and never reveals the fees in total yet asks to visit them to know about it...i understand this is a sales strategy and i am not judging the institute in this but reading the real life experience of few ones clearly made my mind for a big NO...i trust their grief

Thanks
I was cheated as well
I was told theres lateral entry for interior designing (after completing diploma in civil engg) ...and that only 2seats were availabl. (I had also enqurd about all this complaints about the institute, they said its not true ...their compititors were doing this.)
So i payed advanc n aftr som weeks when i went Andheri for joining i came to know that there is no such thing as lateral entry.
When i askd for refund they said they will return n 1month time. But didnt return yet. Again when i askd they said there is no refund.
Iam from Arunachal pradesh, i[censored] peopl know where it then ull understand how far it is. I had to book flyt tickt n dn cab, fooding and lodging charges.
By the time i came to know about the institite it was too late and i couldnt gt any other institute either. I lost 1yr.
Ill tell the persons name. ...
Her name is Richa singh, who lured me ...
And theres also her frnds
I have already paid 5000/- for my singing course as an advance(Mumbai branch, Andheri). Now I am confused whether I should go further and pay the remaining amount or no. Help guys! If everyone are complaining about this institute then why not go and ask for refund together. There are so many news channels we can go and complain about. Or lets make a page on fb for all those who have been cheated and share as much as possible. Coz if they are really cheating and luring poor parents and students to take up the course then I guess everyone should come together and take some real strict action.
I am sharing my Sarahah account. you guys can message me your numbers and we can take the #### out of this people. - kvfcf0.Sarahah.com
