Updated by Kapil1989 This recently happened to a friend of mine who was looking for a job change.
He had put up his profile in several other job portals for over a month with no scam calls. One day after he uploaded his information in Shine.com : One Stop Destination To Find Your Dream Job on the Go, he received no less than 10 calls.
The MO is rather similar in all the calls received.
You’re asked to confirm your qualification, years of experience, preferred location and domain.
You’re assured immediately that there are close to a hundred job openings suiting your profile.
There’s a snag though, the likelihood of your landing the job is increased with their service of providing internal references in the organisations that have opening, which is all great but you need to pay a token amount of Rs. 3500 to register for these services.
When asked where they found his contact information & profile, the callers declined to provide that detail, whereas some of them claimed to work for Shine.com : One Stop Destination To Find Your Dream Job on the Go.
When the caller is quizzed more on his/her professional email id, or specifics of which organisations have openings, you’re asked to confirm whether you’re willing to register and pay the requisite Rs. 3500.
If your answer is not a “Yes”, but a volley of more questions which a genuine headhunter will have no problems answering, they hang up the call.
While these fraudulent schemes exist everywhere, just the overwhelming number of calls received in a single day all claiming to provide the same service raises a lot of questions and reflects badly on Shine.com.
