Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

A month back Shine.com sales team Rohit Upadhay made me buy Shine Services promising me that they will be getting me a job. I have paid for services worth 70k on the Shine platform without even one interview call.I had raised 4 complaints and nobody responds to them.My complaints were:

1. Shine Services premium jobs open up in iimjobs job portal : what is the point of this? why pay when you are getting the same service at iimjobs for free?
2. I work in HR and they claim their resumes to be ATS friendly. I have checked and they are not.
3. The vendor for Background Verification has been sitting on my docs for a month. There is no update.
4. The only messages I get are scams and immigration agencies continuously calling and because I am on the job hunt I have to face

Today a call from this number [protected] and they asked me about my complaints indicating that the market is bad and shine is paying refunds. I mentioned that I was told on my last call with a Shine Associate that there are no refund services. To that he said that because of the layoffs and market scenario we are not able to provide jobs. He told me there is a nominal processing fee of 10 Rs and to login to this website https://shineservice.co/register/verification. Naturally I thought its a legitimate call and he heard my concerns and told it will take 10 RS and that Shine does not have refunds but we are not having many job offers and hence we will process the refund.

On registering I wanted to pay via credit card and the transaction was asking for 4988 and I did not pay, called the same number and asked. He toldme that this transaction is cancelled and asked me to share the bank message with me which I did. The transaction had ended and hence the OTP was invalid. However, money got deducted from my account. A total of 9588 has been deducted. I blocked my card instantly else I do not know how much would be the balance right now.

I will be complaining on the company, on Rohit Upadhay from the sales team and your team overall as well. The FIR will be well on the CEOs names as well for sharing data that is personal else how would it be possible that he would know I am having issues with the portal. I will be writing to your investors as well that this is what you are providing during tumultuous economic times when money is so very important and jobs are so scarce. You should be ashamed of yourselves to be a part of this.

Regards,
Shiny

Hi All I have already pay to money of 131106/- but I am not not interested in your service request to you pls refund my amount otherwise I have filled cyber report and social media's... And publication For local news papers also. don't take advantage of someone's helplessness
For shut down the company...

I got a call from Shine.com regarding Application booster services that can help me finding a new job. They initially said, charges would be Rs. 3292 only. So, I paid that amount. Then again they said, additional charges would be Rs. 5192 followed by Rs. 8376 and said, it's for verification and carrier counseling. I was not satisfied with this because earlier they never told me that I need to pay extra amount. I confirmed with them that there is no payment after this, they said yes there is no payment after this. So, I made the payment. Now, they sent another invoice of Rs. 14158 and asking for payment. I said, this is cheating you guys are doing and asked for money back as I am not interested in this anymore. They said, it's not possible and we will not give your money back. Please file a complaint against Shine.com for doing fraud/cheating with customers like me.

I got a call from shine.com and said that they can arrange interviews from canada and australia. As shine is genuine I agreed and continued to go for the services they are offering.
Firstly they said that the fee for the job services will be only Rs. 3047 and I paid that amount. He said I will get a call from relationship manager and got the same. Later he explained everything and asked me to pay Rs. 5700 and Rs. 9300 simultaneously for education verification and job profile verification. I paid that as well then at last he said I will be getting another call for resume services and need to pay Rs. 17, 000.
I came to know that will not stop till we pay continuously.
I asked them immediately to refund my amount but they immediately cut my call saying they will not refund and not lifting my calls.

Hi Team yesterday I have recived the call from shine. Com he saying that your refund in prosess. Pls pay Rs- 5 and we have refund the all amount then I will agree. But after some time he again call and he saying I have send the link pls clik the link then I have prosess the refund and i am agreed. Then I have a click I the link and after some time my account balance Rs-2300/- dabit. Then I have to complaint in cyber police station... Request to you pls refund the my amount of Rs-2300/-...

Sir, I have sent rs:1500 to shine.com yesterday, after that they told me to pay Rs 7500 during the interview, I told them to cancel the job as I don't have that amount now, then they said that the officer in accounts will call me, then they will call me in 15 minutes. When it arrived, they said that they cannot refund the amount of 1500, they can only send a minimum of 5000, so if you send me only 3500 rupees, then they told me loudly that the amount will be wasted. They did not tell me about this in the beginning, they only said that they will send it back immediately, I believed it and sent 1500. When I told him that I don't have money, he made a noise without understanding and cut off my call (cell no.: [protected]). So I humbly request you to refund my money to my account immediately.

I am writing this regarding a job offer from shine.com for candidate suma in one of the company for the position of agriculture officer and for conducting of interview and application submission shine person asked us an amount of Rs.790/- and 4500/- and we transfered the amount and application was done but later we cancelled the application and we asked us to refund the amount and the shine team said the amount will be refunded by April 3rd of 2023 by 4pm and we not received any refund amount till now and I am calling to the concerned persons but they are not responding. Kindly please look into it and do us the needful.

I received a job offer from Hr Marico who was claiming to provide me job which was for supervisor in Britannia pvt. They claimed to arrange a parcel of job offer letter for which they charged 570 rs for DTDC courier service. I just can't understand how shine is allowing these recruiters to take money from candidate who have saved their money for hard situation. I request you to please take action against this and please do the needful to return or solve this issue

One of their executives had approached based on my profile which I had uploaded online and told they can get a very good job. He told they will charge a very small fees for making the CV feature on the top and make it visible to the recruiters. I had trusted them and they kept on calling to transfer a sum of Rs.3657 and I transferred and sent the receipt. He told his executive will call and explain how to move about.
His executive called and told he needs a 45 mins call, and once he started speaking sweetly he told he can get a job for more than one crore, and he told my education certificate has to be verified and some fees are to be paid, he purposefully sent me wrong link and twice when I clicked money got debited twice from my account but he told they have not received and he told he will send one more link and refund this money, I trusted and sent him the money again. Again with in 3 mins he sends one more invoice for close to Rs9566 and I refused to pay and work with them and asked them to refund the money, plus what has got debited wrongly also. He told they do not have policy to refund and pay the balance amount also.
I need this to be resolved amicably if not I wan to go ahead and make a complaint under cheating case on the company, ceo and the employee show spoke
