Contact person email - nidhi. [protected]@shine.com, puran. [protected]@shine.com

I have received a call from [protected] (Ashish), [protected] (Pooja) saying that they are from shine and will be assisting me in getting a job. They were saying rs 2997 on telephone call as the first service charge for resume services. Then asking for rs 8699 for interview preparation & my job thought report on email with line as discussed i. E, without discussing the charges part on telephone.

The charge details they were not sharing me in prior on telephone call or by email and again for doing certification they are asking for rs 13000 and ended with rs 9999. On every call they said that this is the final amount and they wont be charging more for doing the service and on email they were asking for charges and which is not acceptable.

When i said this is not acceptable, the person who called me multiple times till they get the money, disconnected the call.

I have paid (2997 + 8699) rs 11, 696. Please refund my money and i don't want to have this service now.

Please refund my money rs 11, 696 to the below given account as soon as possible.

One Mr. Nautical gave me a mobile no. Which always remains switched off Mr. Rahet ali who asked me payment now don't pick calls shine customer care says leave msg after a beep our executive will call you back but no call back came yet

I want to lodge complaint against shine.com [protected], she don't know how to talk with the customers, and it's totally my decision where to invest my money and where not, you people can't force anyone by saying "garpe aaram kro na fir, cv he q upload kia h" u have no rights to talk in this manner. This incident happened on 24/06/2017 at 2:51pm. You can hear your phone records and can here the conversation how she spoke to me.

I receive a call from shine .com and they talk me about bank related jobs.and i agree with that. they conduct my interview and all my procedure is done i already submit my all fees about 30000/- But now today nobody picked my call. le.please please their is no trustworthy person. I send all my documents on [protected]@outlook.com. please resolve my matter as soon as possible.Please tell me that how get my money back

This is a fake company asking money always without giving any service at all. After taking money they do not respond at all. It is true that some openings are posted by different industries on shine.com but employees of shine.com refer those jobs to outside agents who ask for money from candidates, ultimately the opening goes to some random candidate. Hindustan Times is a good house and they have started job portal with a noble intention, but the employees of shine.com have connivance with fraudsters and both are looting job seekers. I also lost approx Rs.20, 000/- but I paid to shine.com, without getting any support from any of shine employee. HT top management must look into it. My advise to job seekers is don't pay a single paise to shine.com. Please contact naukri.com only and only genuine agency in India. Shine.com is in the hands of FRAUDSTERS, I mean it really.

Hi,

Today i received a call from no. [protected]... He told me his name is vishnu... & calling from shine.com. 1st of all he was not all proffesional... He was sounding like vasuli gunda and called up to do some vasuli... Hence l refuse to speak to him and hanged up... It hurt his ego and he called me again and start abusing on mother and sister.. I warned him and blocked his no. Then he called up from a landline i. E. [protected] and again started... I fail to understand if shine.com is hiring such criminals who abuse there candidate if they refuse to pay... This is disgusting... I have seen one more complain against the same guy but no action been taken against this... Shine authority if it is reaching you than pull up ur socks and be careful in ur own recruitment...

I received a call from shine.com ([protected]) from one mr. Kushal desai.
He explained all details of this job portal to me and sent me a link from shine.com for a one-time payment of rs.2778/- which i reluctantly agreed as shine is a hindustan times company.
I was then told that one mr. Saroop singh would call me with the details.
Today mr. Saroop calls from the no:[protected] and asks for another payment of rs.14000/-!!! Today itself.
I understood it as fraud and told him to pay back my money and lay off.
My question is how did these people get the official link of shine.com to send a payment link?
Shouldnt shine.com be responsible for taking precautions to prevent such occurances/
And now who will pay me back the amount?
Note the two telephone nos shine.com and do something about your reputation if you have one.

Mr. Saroop calls from the no:[protected]

I received a call from shine.com and after one mr. Kushal desai, their executive spoke to me, i asked all questions about the charges that they levy and after being told that only rs.2780/- is the charge, i paid up the money through my debit card.
Today one mr. Saroop singh from shine.com calls and says that i need to pay another 14000/-
I was shocked and knew that it was fraud that these people were indulging in.
I have proof of payment and want my money back immediately.
Further when i was shocked and refused to pay new steep charges, mr. Saroop singh started calling me names and talking impolitely.
This is a bad experience and i want my cash back.

Dear sirs,
I am a consultant operating in new delhi and specializing in civil contractual disputes and arbitration under construction and infrastructure contracts.

1. That on or about 22.03.2017, one mr. Samundar singh from shine.com contacted me on my mobile number and represented to me that shine.com renders featured profile and structured job referral services on payment. He further represented that the job referral service is delivered through round one, a partner of shine.com, who will facilitate referral requests directly to company employees and once the referral request is accepted, they can be contacted to earn their referrals to increase the chances of getting hired.

2. That when i explained to him that i was not on the lookout for any employment and that i am a legal consultant specializing in construction and infrastructure civil contractual disputes and my target clients are contractors rendering construction services to government organizations and enterprises in delhi ncr area, he represented to me that referrals can be made to such contracting companies also for availing my services.

3. That pursuant to the telephonic talk as aforesaid, i received a mail from mr. Samundar singh reading as under:

5. That subsequent to this, i started receiving mails from one mr. Vinay sharma from round one. As he could not understand my requirements, i sent a mail to him on 25.03.2017 reading as follows:

I am a legal practitioner specialising in construction and infrastructure civil contractual disputes and arbitration. My target clients are contractors rendering construction services to government organisations and enterprises who may require legal advice on their contractual disputes with such entities. Such contractors may like to avail my services by engaging me as a part time consultant on a monthly retainer or refer such disputes on a case to case basis. I can render my services for drafting and finalisation of contracts, claims and settlement thereof.in the above background iook forward to referrals to such contracting companies in delhi ncr region. Should you require further information or clarifications, kindly contact me. Please arrange referrals in keeping with my above requirements
In spite of my above mail, no efforts were made by round one and i did not receive a single reference to fulfill my requirement.in view of this, i demanded refund of the amount paid by me.

In reply to my said demand, i received a mail dated 18.04.2017 from one ritu panwar (M) [protected], customer support, round one reading as follows

Hi venkatraman, apr 18

Thanks for contacting us. The refund has been processed and shall be credited in your account in 7 business days. Please let me know if there is anything else i can help you with.
Thank you,
Ritu panwar

As no such refund was made as promised by ritu panwar, i addressed a number of e-mails to ritu panwar and vinay sharma. It is a matter of record that they have been assuring resolution of this issue in 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours and so on and did nothing to resolve the matter. I furnish below a transcript of the very last mail dated 05.06.2017 on this subject received by me from round one:

Round one [protected]@roundone.in

Thanks for writing to us. We're working towards solving your problem and you will hear from us within 24-48 hours.

Since neither shine.com nor round one resolved this issue as promised, i am forced to lodge this complaint with the fond hope that necessary action will be taken expeditiously at your end to refund the amount paid by me.

Should you require any further information to resolve this issue, i will be glad to furnish the same on hearing from you.

I will appreciate your acknowledging this mail and necessary action to resolve this vexed issue at the earliest.
