Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

I have been a registered member of the job portal "shine.com" since around past 2 years. I didnot receive any convincing job oppportunity within that duration.
A couple of days ago i received a call regarding paid services by the same job portal.Though i donot believe in paying money for such services, i availed the service just because i was not satisfied with my current job. After payment i was informed that my profile would be highlighted and i would have an improved resume.Since i am working currently and need to switch my job ASAP i thought that the services provided to me would be quick enough. Today i received a call from one of the executives stating that if i pay an additional amount of 6000 i would have a guaranteed job.I have already paid an amount of around 3300 to the company.I was completely furious at the executive and straight away asked him that what was the use of anyone registering on their job portal if one has to pay around 10000 to get a "certified job". I need an answer as i am also one of the millions of job seekers who cannot go door to door in search of a new job despite having a degree. This is a simple technique of fooling candidates and making money out of the same. How could an unemployed individual pay such an amount just to "buy" a job when he/she doesn't have any referrals and are all by their self searching for a job?????Is it a joke for you people???? I need an answer to my question as well as i need to know how can i redeem my money paid.

Beware of Fraudsters...

Dear Job Seekers

Greetings from Shine.com!

Shine.com is a platform which brings the recruiters and job seekers together.

Please note that we do not charge money from any candidate/job seeker for an interview nor do we guarantee any job. We are neither a recruitment firm nor a consultant or recruitment partner of any employer. Shine.com is a platform which is used by consultants, companies and recruiters to find the right match for an opening.

We have been trying hard to discourage any fraudulent mails, sms and calls which demand money for a guaranteed placement or interview in the name of Shine.com. Regrettably, on certain occasions, false job offers do get sent via email to illegitimately collect personal information (like bank details, credit card details) and/or money from innocent job seekers.

Shine.com is not responsible for, and expressly disclaims all liability for, any such communication via email, sms or phone call by a frivolous source claiming to have got the contact details of the person concerned through or representing Shine.com. Please report at [protected]@shine.com if you come across any such fraudulent communication.

How to check if an email is a fraud/scam:
1. Check the website of the company: Search on Yahoo or Google to see if the company has a genuine website. If the mail asks for your personal information such as bank details, credit card numbers
2. If the mailer demands money for any employment/recruitment related purpose such as immigration and visa processing, travel etc.
3. If the mail offers you a job you have never applied for
4. If the mailer has used free email IDs to contact you or as 'reply to' email IDs. For example, if you get a job offer from ABC Auto Company, and their email ID is [protected]@gmail.com or [protected]@hotmail.com then it is most probably a fake company. Real companies use their own domain name on their email and do not use free email providers.
5. If people have reported against the consultant/employer for scams earlier
6. If the mail offers a job without any interview
7. If the mail mentions that Shine.com is their partner, consultant or employment partner

Job seekers are advised to check for the above points & not to indulge in any monetary engagement with such sources in the name of a job offer.

Shine.com

Hi,

This is with reference to a call from Shine.com from the # +[protected] who started he call very rudely.

He was trying to sell some service and when I was trying to tell him something that I will not pay and rather use my own connects, got in a threatening mode asking me why I have my profile on Shine.

I am a senior manager with 17 years and this is the first time I have heard something like this from a professional hiring firm.

I need to know what action will be taken as my next step will be to take appropriate steps. Social media will definitely be one of them.

Regards,
Sanjib

I am totally frustrated with shine customer service. I am aggregated. I tried customer care number 8 times however, they do not pick up the call and i tried another number and they simply disconnect the call saying they are not the right person and they do not have courtesy to transfer me to right department within shine. Do not show advertisement in TV has shine always help. For deleting an profile i am being troubling last 2 months. i even wrote email to [protected]@shine.com and no response. Ph# [protected] and [protected]. please take action before i write review about shine in all blogs and forums.

This is a fraud case.
kindly take step against this.

Mr. Rahul from your company spoke to me on 30 Apr 2106 and explained the offer and asked me to pay 5699/- an accordingly I made a payment of 5700/-. through the link send from mail id of ankit.[protected]@shne.com.

Now another person Jeetendra has sent another two payment links of 7050/- and 7148/- from jeetendra.[protected]@shine.com other than the above.

Ideally, your executive should have explained the complete package rather than duping and cheating customers at a later stage.

This is entirely unethical and fraud.

Kindly arrange to refund my payment as I am no longer interested in dealing with such fraud company.

Reference number of payment is[protected]

Thanks

I made a registration t their site for internship. Just after an hour i received a call from them stating that HCL will be providing me internship so, i need to pay rs.1650 as security deposit . They gave me a no. And asked me to make transaction through mobikiwi [protected].
I think govt. Should shut down this shine.com, bcoz they are playing fraud game, since how the guy can get details of their customer who registered to them, shine.com is just fooling people and making money.

Sir there is one company name shine.com who has done fraud with me. I was called by one number +91 [protected](tanya), +91-[protected](rajiv) and informed that they are from shine.com and my resume is been selected by one company name wipro based in indore, India. They took my telephonic interview and then they selected me. It was then informed that I have to deposit a small amount of Rs.2500 for Id and reference no. Generation in SBI bank A/c no. [protected], and a/c name vinod kumar. When I deposited the amount I was informed you will be called next day for finalizing the date of document verification. Next day I was even called but for different reason. They were asking for another Rs.6500, Generation in SBI bank A/c no. [protected], and a/c name mr.aadil for document verification. Then I mail my problem to the original Shine.com email id which is [protected]@shine.com. They informed and advised me the following: Hi Please note that Shine.com is not responsible for, and expressly disclaims all liability for any such communication via email, sms or phone call by a frivolous source claiming to have got the contact details of the concerned person through or representing Shine.com. Therefore jobseekers are advised not to indulge in any monetary engagement with such sources in the name of guaranteed interviews with employers. Also please note that time to time, we advertise this on our own newspaper Hindustan Times. Regards, Team Shine.com Terms o[censored]se http://www.shine.com/termsandconditions/ Now please help me as i have already lost my money and also sent them my scan copy of original documents. What should I do for this fraud activity which is happening with me. Sir please help. Thank You

I have already posted a complaint regarding my issue. As communicated in my earlier complaint stating that I was asked to pay Rs 35, 000 for registration and job. This was done without providing proper information.After 15 days your representative Mr Srinivas spoke to me today demanding me to pay more money to provide the link of the companies.He also said that I will not get a job without this payment.I don't understand what is happening especially the amount paid.He also said that you can complaint anywhere.Kindly revert back at the earliest and refund my money.

This is to bring it to your notice that I was recently charged havily when I registered for Supply chain Management course (3 month). In the auto generated mail it was clearly mentioned that the course fee is Rs. 8165 and I registered by paying the amount. (Transaction Number:[protected].

Later they told that I shall get a verification call. I got the verification call. But I was surprised to hear that Rs. 9398 (Transaction Number:[protected] had to be paid for verification purpose. I paid this amount as well.

Now I don't understand the unethical behavior of shine.com to charge customers without any reason. Why was I charged for verification purpose. There is no point of this charge. Why was the verification necessary for certification purpose. They told that verification was necessary for certification purpose which was baseless.

I would like to have my Rs. 9398 refunded within a weak or I'll have to take legal actions.
