I did write an mail to them asking for refund but there is no response only one person called munish is trying to coordinate with me and saying that i will get the links but job is not guaranteed and even the interview is not guaranteed and i said that this was not mentioned to me when i paid.

The amount i paid is
3292+5192+9945+16423+24555+30332+30096+27136 = 1, 46, 971/-

I am requesting you to please help me to get this refund from @shine.com since i don’t have money to pay all this debt.

And many of their services i have not even used yet. Please do help

I want to highlighted a misleading process to initiate Paid job services and once initial amount paid they came up with another payment demand whole case mentioned below.
On November 16th, I initially purchased a service for Rs. 3292. Subsequently, the Shine team assigned a coordinator who recommended an additional service costing Rs. 3536. Unfortunately, I couldn't proceed at that moment due to a lack of funds. Despite expressing my financial constraints, the Shine team did not provide any updates thereafter. Today, 4th Dec, when I decided to avail the previously recommended service and made a payment of Rs. 3536, Shine.com representative informed me that an additional service, priced at Rs. 4673, was required to proceed further. without availing these services you will not get any interview call. since i already invested Rs. 6828 there was not option left for me to suggested services. I paid Rs. 4673 well but they were still want me to buy another service to proceed further which is additional Rs. 7000.

My concern stems from the lack of full information provided by Shine.com during the initial calls. It has left me feeling as though I may have been subjected to a misleading situation or potential scam. I would appreciate clarification on this matter. They misleading the Candidate and once intial amount paid by them they ask another paid services. I want you to please look into this matter, I have seen reviews on internet that so many people get cheated by them

You assured that resolution to the concern/complaint I raised in next 24hours .
I am attaching the complaint email for further reference . Also pasting the message body of the attached complain below
============================================================

Hi,

Clearly misguided and deliberately cheated by giving wrong information.
I am not interested and willing to opt for this service. Please refund completely .
He clearly mentioned the abroad services interview hiring test, everything and final charges is 7999 Rs. but later after paying 7999 rs, he asked 14988 Rs. extra .

If he told me earlier I would have not opted, it's out of budget .

So please respect and refund my money back at the earliest .

I am writing this compliant to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the recent experience I had with Shine.com. I believe it is important to bring this matter to your attention in the hope that it can be resolved promptly and to prevent similar issues from recurring to anyone
in the future. I was reached out by Shine.com on 17th October 2023 @ 1:56 pm by the number [protected] for boosting my wife's resume in the job portal. They started by first asking me to pay Rs.3567/- which I paid, then they said another person from shine team would contact me for further process then another person contacted me on the same day @3:38 pm from this number [protected] as my dedicated recruiter and he started saying please pay Rs.5192/- for education verification when I said I will have to discuss about it with my wife and give a call
back later He said that we have to make the payment immediately on the call itself . When I denied to pay he said they will not help me with their services because of non payment after convincing me for so long I agreed to make that payment, I made the payment of Rs.5192/- after that he started asking for another payment saying that it's for previous job verification i.e
Rs.9556/- and if I back out now then they will not help me with any of the services I already paid for and they also said, they will not provide any refund for any of the previous payments, I finally agreed to pay the additional payment of Rs. 9556/- after that they again asked for Rs.16912/- in
the name of resume writing and presentation. I realised that I am falling for their trap and denied to pay them anymore, when I denied to pay
the rep changed his tone and said we will not help you because of non payment of the resume writing and presentation services. They said its part of their process and I need to adhere to it . They have also sold or circulated my phone number, email address and other personal details to 3rd party services and exploiting my privacy. Now since yesterday I have got multiple calls for agencies asking me to pay for multiple entry level jobs. I have checked my wife shine.com mobile app and they have activated unwanted services like communication course, education verification fees, background verification fee. I Request you to please help me get my money back as I am currently unemployed, even a single rupee is crucial for me in my current financial situation.

On Saturday, Nov 4, 2023, I paid Transaction ID[protected]/- Transaction ID[protected]/- in total and I got a promise from Shine executive that I will be getting recruitment calls from Monday 6th November 2023, but I haven't received any update from Shine side.

Due to the Shine executive's false communication, I paid him first 3292/- which he told me was the last payment for the job process but at noon another executive called and asked for 5192/- rupees for the further process I transferred that also but again he asked me 9900/- rupees, due to unavailability of the fund I refused and he told me you will not get a refund and no services going forward.

I request Shine to refund my amount or please work on my resume and proceed with the services.

Please find the below details for your reference.

The candidates who are aware of these fraudsters, apply for job since they are highly in need of job. The fraud company demands a lot of money from the candidates and at the end leaving them without giving anything. Please consider this issue with almost priority.

Hello,

Regarding my complaint ID 3484879 filed against shine.com, I encountered a distressing situation following a call from an unknown number, [protected] on November 23rd at 8:16 PM, identified as 'WhatsApp' on Truecaller.

During the call, an individual claiming to be the owner of shine.com used threatening language, dismissing my concerns and asserting their authority. Uncomfortable with the situation after a long day, I ended the call.

Subsequently, an email from [protected]@shineservicess.in arrived, mentioning the forwarding of my complaint to the CEO. However, the email also criticized my approach and rejected my request, suggesting a refund contingent upon adjusting my attitude.

Navigating this scenario has been disconcerting. My primary goal is to secure a refund and disengage from further interactions with unprofessional entities. I am seeking guidance on how to achieve a resolution in a calm and professional manner, focused solely on obtaining the refund without prolonging any dispute.

I got a initial call from shine com on yesterday for creating a job seekers profile for Rs 3292.00.

Now once I have created this profile, I got a call from a person named Vikram as relationship manager. He said that I have to discuss your CV .I will call you tommorow.

Today he has called me and scammed me with neary Rs 1 lakh with various unnecessary courses. During call he gave me no option to chk internets and other reviews. He said that the offer is for today only. Later I have chcked that all of his words are wrong.

I am giving the screenshots of all of the payment I have made for some unnecessary reasons. My request to Shine.com is please stop scamming people and give proper services, if you want to continue.

please refund my all money as soon as possible.

The call was from the numbers [protected] and 18001080

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the service I've received since subscribing to Shine.com for job search assistance.

I subscribed to your services three weeks ago with high hopes of finding suitable job matches through your platform. However, despite the assurances provided by the account manager regarding the activation of alerts, I have yet to receive a single relevant match to my profile.

This lack of results over the past two weeks has left me feeling disappointed and concerned about the effectiveness of the subscription I've invested in. I was looking forward to utilizing Shine.com's resources to facilitate my job search efficiently, but the current situation suggests otherwise.

I understand that technical issues or delays may occur, but the prolonged absence of any viable matches has been disheartening. As a paying customer, I expected a more prompt and effective service, especially considering the promises made during the subscription process.

I kindly request an immediate and thorough investigation into this matter. I would appreciate a detailed explanation of the issues causing the delay and a concrete plan of action to rectify the situation promptly. Additionally, I would like to explore options for compensation or an extension of my subscription to make up for the time lost due to this inconvenience.

Please treat this matter with urgency, as finding suitable employment is crucial for my career progression. I hope for a swift resolution to this issue and a renewed confidence in the services Shine.com offers.

I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

I feel suspected but since he was very confident, i paid this amount too. Then again after the payment he asked me to pay Rs.17, 827 as a last payment then i told this so wrong/fraud and i ask him to connect to his manager,

I spoke to his manager, he said this service is must to get good job. If i don't avail this service then other other 4 bought services would have no meaning and will get "forfeit".

Team Shine,

While trying to opt for only job search services I have been miscommunicated by the sales and services team and now I feel like looted. What I thought was that services would cost me around 3600 INR, I have been manipulated and charged around 60000 INR for various services despite me refusing to go further. Mr. Vikram and Mr. Vivek has deceitfully done this and trapped me into conversation. I did all the transactions in a hurry and later I found that these were not something that I asked for. Please initiate a refund of all the money to me. Till this time, no service had been activated for me. I want a full refund and like to unsubscribe from every other services of shine.com.

Thanks
