Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

Good day!

I am a HR professional with 23 year service. Currently I am looking for a job abroad and I decided to avail the shine career plus services. I opted for this and initially they asked me to pay Rs.9500/-, which I did. Once this payment was made, again they called me next day as asked me to pay another Rs. 10000/- for certificate and experience verification etc. Though I was not convinced, I against sent Rs.10, 000/-. For this Rs. 19, 500/- I was given a shine credit of 1901 which I can redeem for purchasing some online courses. The problem started when I tried to redeem by points on the last date of its expiry. I thought of taking some certificate course for Rs.4000/-. A person came online via chat as asked me to pay balance Rs. 2099/-, the another person asked me to pay Rs.3000/-. Then I had a long argument with that person and decided not to redeem the shine credit.

For the Rs.19, 500/-, the services provided to me are slightly modified my resume (the draft of which was sent by me), a cover letter, and a 3 page profile for Linkedin. Initially, I was told that my resume will be highlighted in the job portals and referred to job consultants, etc. As promised, my certificate verification and experience verification is yet to be completed.

On the day of trying the utilize the shine credit, I got a call from Jeetendra Kumar and asked me to pay another Rs.13, 599/- to complete my immigration profile. I was totally perplexed and decided not to make any more payment. When I informed that I am not interested in making the payment, he got furious and started shouting and threatened me that he will block my name from all job portals and that I will not be able to find any job where I was trying. This was quite unexpected. This incident happened on 30th June 2016. The link asking me to make the payment is given below:

"Click on Below link to pay
hereor copy & paste below link.
https://payment.shine.com/paynow.aspx?id=hZWAOwKXAyu3Ie7zhoZTw1rYCAbRkA%3d%3d

Total amount:- Rs 13, 559 /- Inclusive of all taxes

Discounted Amount Rs 10, 732 /- Inclusive of all taxes"

This is a clear case of cheating. I am of the view that this cannot happen without the knowledge of shine.com. They are providing shine career plus services. I only opted for this. Threatening and demanding to remit money is totally uncalled for. Shine cannot deny that they do not ask for cash. If shine people did not ask for cash, why was I offered 1901 credit points.

I trust I will get some reply from you.

Thanks,

Pratheep Kumar

Hi, a week before, i had got a call from shine recruiter and she used to change her name everytime as Sonu or Sanchita and she had told me that, you are short listed by the biotech company for interview. But then she said you have to pay 1900/- which is refundable.i trusted on them and paid the amount. she had send their bank detail mobile number that is [protected]. theirs bank detail :- sbi. Acct no. [protected]. name- Sandeep. Ifsc code-SBIN0016173. And after payment as they said i have to send a copy of payment receipt on their mail that is [protected]@india.com and i sent the screenshot of the payment. After that they said me they will provide an application form on my mail. Then next day in the morning she called me and told that you are selected and You have to pay 6000/- for verification of documents by government and then you will have a telephonic interview and then you will be eligible for personal interview. then i said i cant pay you any money now. the she transferred her call to HR member whose name was MR.PUSHPARAJ. now i am asking them to return my money in my account since four days, they are not responding and if the response is there Puspharaj picks up the call and talks all nonsense. he has used very abusive language to me and my mother as he was also calling the for the refund. He used a slang abusive language as(Teri ma ki c*** and behen ki l****) and one more very abusive word. he is also mentally harassing me. kindly help in my refund of 1900 and with 5000 of compensation for using abusive language and harrassing me. their numbers are: [protected] and [protected]. its a fraud company

Hi
I want to share my bitter experience with shine.com. I got a call yesterday about the job offer & the services provided. The lady who called me mentioned that yesterday was the last day of the offer & I need to pay Rs. 5699/- for the above package. Followed by this another person by name Ankit Sharma called me & sent a link for the payment of Rs. 5699/- which I believe is the total cost (even the shine.com confirms that only with the flow of process) & went ahead with the payment. Received couple of mails from shine welcoming & other related topics. Again I received call today 1st Jul 16 from Anikit Sharma that I need to complete my profile & he has put me on to another person by name Srinivas. This new person told me that there are verification process for which I need to pay Rs. 5350/- He didn't mention about any further payment requirements or other services. I was not convinced & I insisted to talk to some senior person from Shine. I was connected to one person by name Abhishek. I wanted to be clear in terms of services that are being offered & the total charges that I need to pay to avail the same. Abhishek confirmed that Rs. 5350/- is the last amount & no other charges after that. believing his words, I went ahead & made the payment by talking to Srinivas who had sent me the payment link. subsequent to this my surprise, Srinivas insisted another payment of Rs. 5350/- saying it was for employment verification. i was not convinced & insisted that shine team let me know the total payment that is required to be made. I got a reply from Srinivas that second payment of Rs. 5350/- & no further payments are required. upon payment of this amount, to my frustration, i was sent another link to make one more payment of Rs. 6999/- which biography writing or something like that. i really got very upset on such false promises & incremental payment every time. Believing this is the last payment, i went ahead & paid the amount too. i really got wild, when another link was sent to make one more payment of Rs. 6999/- when i reached the point utter frustration.

I got really annoyed by the unprofessional behavior & false promises by the team, porting Rs. 5699/- as service charge & collecting 4 times of that amount during online chat / conversation. this is totally misleading & the team, i think do this purposely to cheat clients / poor job seekers. I am really frustrated about the whole episode & disconnected the conversation.

With much displeasure, i have write this about bitter experience with shine. Inspite of my repeated request to tell me the full cost / service charges, shine team mislead me fully & collected Rs. 23398.00 in step by step process. I could not believe them anymore on such services, since they hiding the information & luring job seekers promising big job offers. I am not interested in the services anymore with Shine & seek refund of my entire amount since i have not availed any services. Moreover, the whole episode has left me with bitter experience & don't want to deal with any such unprofessional team who hide information & cheat job seekers.
Request the shine team not to repeat this with any other prospective job seekers. Let them at least full information upfront about all such charges in one go.

A man naming himself sarfarz khan the manager of 'shine.com' s gurgaon branch demand money by saying arranging interview with multi national company like havels, lg, sony etc. he has called via the phone no [protected]. now want money to depisit in his account. how he can get all the data and information about myself which i have submitted in the official company site of shine.com. also my resume and all data which must be keep secret according to the laws and regulation act have been revealed to this fraud man. he must be any member of shine.com team either how he could get this all information. consumer forum must take action for both this fraud men team and also the shine.com company.

I already made a payment of rs.26000 for availing the getting assistance of getting job calls with help from shine.com. post this i asked the person that it would be last amount i would be able to pay. after that i was asked to pay 26000 extra and when i refused they say, your profile cannot be completed without making the payment. manager was not trying to understand that i am in no financial condition to do the extra amount payment and kept on saying the same thing again and again.

I would like to get whatever services they can provide with the amount i have already paid to them. if that is not possible, i would request a refund of the amount.

I have got call from ur company to get job in tata steel...they tell me to deposit 1500 for registration I did it. After they told me that there will be telephonic interview and after interview they told me that I have been shortlisted by Tata steel.After that for certificate verification I have to submit Rs 4850/ and Rs 7200/ for internal training. After that they told me to submit Rs 10200 for opening of salary account in Axis Bank...They ask every time to deposit money for different reasons...So some serious step should be take for cheating us they had taken money, documents can misuses it any scam.

Shine executive vishnu panday is calling 100 times a day just for the payment of the services i haven't taken yet. I am very disappointed with the behavior of their executive for giving me huge mental pressure and sending unsupportive messages and emails on refusal of services. He also said that why did you waste my time and you cannot refuse to pay.

It clearly shows that, they just need money and giving pressure to the customer for making payments only. They are not concerned about the services, and because of his behavior and non-sense talks i have refused and suddenly he became rude to me. I am very happy by not taking any service from shine.

Further the guys name was vishnu panday and his contact no. Is [protected] email: vishnu. [protected]@shine.com and he is also available on google+ with the link https://plus. Google.com/109504759262958520615/posts

I had recieved a call from [protected] and he told me that your resume has been shortlisted for hindustan construction company and ask me to register with them and submit amount of 1800rs in sbi account named radhika sharma accnt no. - [protected] ifsc code - sbin0015990 and i submitted the amount, then i got a telephonic interview and they shortlisted me for the next round and i got phone call from [protected] and [protected] and they ask me to submit another collective amount of 5500 for next round and document verification so i submitted that amount and they provided me questions for technical round now after that i receive call again to submit more 10, 000 rs to provide me confirmation letter and appointment letter skipping the technical round by saying that it was just a formality. Now i realised that this may be a fake call so i refuse to pay that last amount. Now i need guidance for future. And what further actions i need to take regarding all this mess.

Company ne mujse 57150/-rs liye par job bhi nhi lagai or ab rupay lotane ke liye bhi 8206/-rs ki mang kar rahi he. nahi to amt govt amt yani r. b. i. me jama kar degi

I got a call today, the lady said she's calling from Shine.com, and she offered me job in Britannia and Haldiram, she said that i will have a telephonic interview tomorrow, then according to that I will have another interview, but I need to do a registration process, by submitting my documents and have to pay Rs. 2000 and I told her that I already asked in Shine.com about registraion and they said that they do not charge anything, but she said the money is refundable, so what is this new refundable thing?
Is it fraud?

On 24th of june'2016, i have got a telephone call from a person mr. Rohit singh, from shine.com, he just asked me, are you looking for an job change? I said yes. The he continued that, according to the job locations there were specific amounts, once the payment was made, shine.com will provide the recruiter details, and that payment will be valid till life time period, if i need a job change also, they will support through shine.com with a registered job id in future.
Aaround 3:00 pm, i received a payment link from shine.com admin mail id: [protected]@shine.com, and a person from the telephone number (+91 [protected]: 40min 32s), who assisted me to fulfill the payment process for an amount of rs.6300/-* (Transaction id:[protected]. When the payment was made, he told his recruitment team will contact me immediately.
Then i received a call from a person named mr. Maroof. Bhat, (+91 [protected], 23min 16s), he introduced himself as a recruitment team official, who deals with the client’s recruitment team directly, and he asked me to choose a location from middle east (Me). I preferred to go kuwait, then he sent a mail, stating immigration opportunity assessment, for that processing i have to pay rs.30, 000/- immediately. When i asked him why? He said it’s must to process your profile to overseas.
I said, i couldn’t, and replied him that, before initiating the process of payment of rs.6300/- they have said, this is the final amount, and thereafter no more hidden charges, etc. They added that, you need not to pay a single penny after this rs.6300/-. But, now you are asking me to pay this huge amount, why?, he said for processing your profile suitable to overseas recruiters, you need to pay, and he had given me last day to pay the amount of rs.30000/- is[protected] day).
He said, if i miss this chance to pay the defined amount, i will lose the opportunity. When i heard the word from him i was totally disgust. Immediately, i wrote a reply mail to him, to refund my cash back. He didn’t reply. Then after i forwarded the same mail to [protected]@shine.com, rohit. [protected]@shine.com, maroof. [protected]@shine.com. But still, there is no reply from shine.com.
[protected]:
The executives from shine.com, are keep on calling and trying to convince me in this with an alternate of providing details / facilities like resume writing services, etc. But i am not paid anything for resume writing services. By words they are saying while conversing by telephone, they won’t refund the amount. When i asked them to give a official mail regarding this, but they didn’t yet.
Kindly help me to get my cash back, as i am not satisfied with the shine.com services.

I mr. Bidyut saikia a fresher of 2016 batch pass out student open an account on shine.com. One recruiter name akashay choudhury told me that we are selected for quality control job in bpcl after telephonic interview with hr. They send me a welcome letter from bpcl gm nishi vasudeva.

He used deposit money in the name of mahavir singh, atul rothour, atul kumar. My resume id is shine[protected]. So kindly help in this regard.

Today I received a call saying that the caller was form shine.com and my resume was shortlisted for the Bajaj Electricals Ltd company and told me to transfer 1500 to their shine account for booking as the vacancy was limited. I did the same and then they transferred their call to their senior and he told to deposit 3500 for document verification and appointment with a relationship manager who will guide the interview selection criteria. So I payed and then they gave the call to Relationship manager who showed me the site of Bajaj electricals and told that they will give the Offer letter which will be given within the next day i should again pay 8500 to their account through Punjab national bank. At that time I got alerted and scolded and told them that i will cross check with shine helpline after which they switched off their all the various nos they called from.
Following are their nos:

They were calling other persons also with the same offers which I heard during a conversation with one of them. So i think many others must have got trapped in this scam.
