Naukriprime.com — naukriprime.com fraudently forcing people to pay money for jobs

Dear sirs /madam,

I am reporting in complete details the cyber fraud as it happened with me. I am not reporting on the details and duplicating them but only summarising the transaction as it happened.

I had applied for a position on a mail from shine.com domain and about couple of days later got a call from one riya claiming from shine.com with specific details that i had applied on. Since she gave all the details correctly and in specifics, i went ahead. She asked me to pay, as detailed below, rs.2832, refundable upon closure of interview, including taxes to proceed further. I paid as asked. This is where the shock hit me as then i was asked to pay another 10, 443 to get an unique registered id, to be private and confidential and that will be used by the mahindra logistics to identify me be the telephone interview as my profile was already shortlisted with them. At this stage i resisted and this lady put me onto somebody else called suresh nigam, who mentioned that this is a necessary condition for generating the reference id and this amount too will be refunded the moment i close on the interview call. After lot of haggling, i paid this too, by using my net banking. Thankfully, as always, i only use virtual keyboard to transact. Also i changed my password to be doubly sure.

Suresh nigam after this put me on to one nitin tyagi for reference id. Nitin tyagi gave at this stage asked me to complete document completion formalities so that i do not need to do it again and again with the interviewers and it will be handled automatically by them. When for this i was required to pay another 12, 500 excluding taxes. I said enough is enough and wanted to close the process then and there itself and get the money paid till then refunded. When tyagi could not convince me, he then put me onto his supposedly senior management person by the name tarun walia who said to close the profile generated, i need to follow on dreamnaukri.net, where for profile closure i was required to pay another 12, 890. I was at this stage also told that if i do not close the profile, i can not get the money paid till then back.
You can understand, i did not have an option but to pay this amount too. After this i was forced to finally pay 12, 390 to generate email confirming closure of the profile. This too i did. The total amount paid was 42, 575.
As mentioned, just to be doubly sure, i changed password on my net banking too immediately.

This entire transaction lasted for about 2 to 3 hours on 31st october 2018 and i reported the matter to shine.com at their ids as detailed below.

On 1st november 2018, i again got the call from riya, who put me on to tarun walia again, where i was required to pay another 12, 500 excluding taxes to deactivate my profile.

At this stage, i refused and took a call to report this so that others do not face the same issue. But, i was shocked to find that this racket has been going on since august 2018 and nothing has been done on this.
Shine.com has absolved themselves of any liabilities on this and in my view neither they nor naukri.com as somebody has reported the same incident through naukri.com portal can absolve themselves and must get this resolved only due to the fact, that how did my specific profile details with shine.com including the applications applied for reach out to these fraudsters.

One trusts shine.com being a part of ht media, naukri.com to keep at least the profile confidential of the users and their servers to have all the latest security technology applied strictly on this.

I have there approached the consumer complaint cell with details so that at least now the fraudsters are caught and this stopped. Naukriprime.com cannot be reached now but dreamnaukri.net was still alive till the writing of this request petition.

Thanks and regards

Dear sir,

I am a registered user at shine.com for a long time.

Recently when i updated my profile and linked it to my linkedin profile and applied for some job postings, i got a call, about couple of days back, from one person called riya from the number [protected]. This was regarding the job at chennai with companies like mahindra logistics and om logistics for whom my profile was found suitable. Yesterday the call was made by riya from [protected], [protected].

Since i was interested, i was told that to proceed further, i need to register by paying 2832 including gst through https://www.shine.com. since it was a https:// and the site was digicert certified, secured and encrypted, i paid the registration charges including gst at either shine.com or naukriprime.com, i don’t recall now. Naukriprime.com again was a certified, secured and encrypted site. At this time i was not advised about the further process and total charges that will be levied for the process and when i expressed my discomfort with selective step by step revealing of the charges, i was connected to one suresh nigam, who told me that it is necessary to generate ref. Id that will only be known to me and using which only the employer will identify me. It was supposed to be confidential and only to be revealed to the specific employer, in this case mahindra logistics upon call only from a specific number that will be emailed to me and known only to me. This amount was refundable, the moment, i mentioned after the first telephonic interview scheduled on 2nd november 2018 between 1100am to 0200pm. This amount was 10, 443, which i again paid after going through the cart on your website.

At this point, i was told by suresh that i will be taken to a team that will generate ref. Id for me and transferred to one nitin tyagi. He at this stage told me that he will now do document verification so that the employer does not need to do it and this will be available for all subsequent interview till i close the same. I was asked to pay further 12, 000 after clicking the cart.

At this stage, i refused to go forward and asked for cancellation of the entire thing and refund of the amount paid till then after deducting your services charges, if any. I was at this stage transferred to one tarun walia. After lot of haggling, when he could not convince me to go further due to the approach of step by step charging for services, even though it was claimed to be refundable, without detailing the complete process and charges in the beginning itself. He finally agreed to take me through the process of cancellation on dreamnaukri.net that again was certified, secured and encrypted.

More hell was to fall on me as i was asked to pay 12890 & 12390, in 2 lots saying the entire amount paid by me so far will be refunded to the same account from where i originally made the payment. Having paid the earlier amount of 13275, i had no other option but to pay the cancellation amount of 25, 280 in two lots.

Please note that none of this transaction were done outside respective websites https://www.shine.com, https://www.naukriprime.com, https://www.dreamnaukri.net and nowhere passwords were asked.in all cases transactions were done using the virtual keyboards.in any case i had immediately changed my passwords at bank from which the transactions were done. All these only makes me hope that this was a genuine transaction and part of your process.

Request you to confirm and support by way of ensuring the refund of the amount between today and tomorrow as i was promised.

Looking forward to your immediate revert and help.

Thanks and regards
