Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

I was forced to make payment without proper explanation on services with mislead information

I have been called by your shine.com representative Mr. Sahu from landline no.[protected] on 7th May 2022 at 12:04 pm and told me that shine.com is exploring job opportunities and based on my work experience I will get a good job opportunity with a decent salary package. Then he asked me for a subscription to avail of the shine's services. I told him to wait for two days. I will think it over and let you know. After 2 days i.e, on Monday 9th May 2022again he called me on my mobile and told this and that about their services. But did not give me an understanding of the services and heavy service charges thereby. Thereafter he introduced Mr. Abhimanyu as per him as a relationship Manager, to look after services. Thereafter whenever Mr. Abhimanyu called me had a new demand after paying the previous one which didn't spoken of before.
The service charges of Rs.29607.43 I have paid in total to shine.com till today. The details are as follows:

Though I didn't have funds and borrowed from my friend with an aim to repay him back when I get a decent job.
But unfortunately everything what was going on was for deceiving and money laundering and cheating under the name of shine.com

This is with great disappointment writing to an esteemed organization - shine, with lots of hope I have taken the premium services from shine when received a call from Mr.Ankit stating there would be a senior relationship manager assigned, my profile being highlighted and sent to many recruiters and help me 24/7 in resume building and being verified profile on shine all these services for 3657/- I have paid the amount and received a call from Mr. Nitin - Sr. Relationship manager. I am really disappointed by the communication of Mr. Nithin who was very arrogant and rude. He was forcing me to pay an additional 6017/- to get my profile verified even after I clearly stated cant go ahead with that service due to the current personal commitments I have and wanted to go forward with the service I have opted he had drastically cut the call stating it won't be possible and tried to dodge my repetitive calls, finally answered and spoke to me very rudely and adamantly, this is clearly not I expect from such esteemed organization. He was very persistent in paying the amount demeaning me saying you can't be money-minded and should not think about such small amounts. I had great regards for Shine Portal but with the ongoing communication and service provided by your employee Mr. Nitin, I don't want to go ahead with the service taken. Kindly look into the matter and refund the amount to my account immediately or I would like to take this legally because all you are doing is a very big scam and not being transparent about your services. I am gonna post the conversation I had with Mr. Nitin on all the other Job Portals and alert all the people about the scam and pathetic services you provide. Please don't take me wrong this isn't threatening but very hurtful words from a common job seeker who was clearly cheated by Shine organization

I got the call from shine to attend a direct HR round for the company named
Samsung India Electronics Pvt Ltd at a center in Karol Baghwithout any interview process.They also stated that the company has shortlisted the profile.

Hello All,

Today (7th May) i was cheated by shine.com in the name of job opportunity. Still nothing got activated also they said, i have pay further amount to activate. i just want all money to be refunded.
When i asked for refund, they are cutting the call and not picking up. Kindly help in refunding 50, 000 rupees.

Had a very bad experience dealing with Shine Team, initially asked to pay 3+K to enroll, then one gentleman nitin called asked me
to pay Fees for carrer assessment and education verification and said without which we cant move, forcefully I paid 5.6K,
I asked him is it the last payment and he said Yes. After payment he sent one more mail and ask me to pay Job verification and featured profile 10+K,
I was upset and asked for reason as I was told previous was last payment.Simply Shivam was playing with words And unwilling I paid it,
he confirmed payment and asked to me check mail which was for new fees Resume writing 17+K, I raised concerns as hidden charges
not being told upfront but he keep aruguing with me and told without this we cant move.
This way dealing with customer is misguiding or way of cheating. I was not expecting this kind of handling from renowned Timesgroup company.
Shine & Time team should fix this and refund my amount ASAP

I got n call from shine ..i asked m to pay the amount of 1500 to company ...the call came for document verification...they again told m to charge the fees for document verification..plz solve my problem n refund my money of amount 1500...

The incident happened 2 days back on 3rd May 2022. My husband received a call from Shine and offered to help him with job hunt. He paid the registration amount and soon a RM was appointed to explore his needs. I do not want to mention the name of this RM who is a pathetic guy and simply talks big things. He just kept insisting on paying amounts one after another without any transparency/details of the processes.

Soon my husband realised he is getting trapped and this RM guy is looting money for nothing. So he immediately asked to stop the conversation as these people only wanted to loot money and nothing will be provided. The RM and his senior started talking arrogantly and forced him to pay a heavy amount for the service without which job openings will not be shared.

This was too much. My husband wanted to stop the services that did not start and asked for the money back. Point to note: These services were not started. It was in the first call with RM that he wanted to withdraw the services. The RM and his senior were too rude and spoke loose statements that I do not want to share. They were not ready to share the email IDs of the person to whom we need to share our grievance.

After Internet research, my husband started communicating with the customer support team asking for refund as none of the services had been started then. The Shine team wanted plausible reason for giving refund. In short, they only know to loot and a candidate needs to bear the brunt. The RM being untraceable is not a plausible reason as he has been appointed to snatch money from the candidates by trapping them,

Our only say is when the services have not been initiated and we come to know the quality of Shine team at the start itself, can't we stop our relationship with them.

The Service Department Head talks about no cancellation or refund policy so the candidate should bear their pathetic behaviour in a service industry.

I warn all the citizens of India to stop approaching Shine who boast of being a part of Hindustan Times. I would say they are spoiling the name of HT.

The people hired in Shine team are useless without any required knowledge or skills. They know only to extract money from candidates.

When none of the services have been initiated, the payments have to be refunded. I will also be sharing our email communications soon.

I was in contact with Mr. Rohit related to job placement. He asked me to submit rupees 2000 as a registration fee, which I transferred to the account number he told me. But now his phone is switched off.
Please help me regarding.

Thank you .

I'm complaining about the money taken from me for assigning interviews. But they already took 18k and they are still asking more money. I want my money back.

I have purchased a service from shine i.e Job and Interview Assistance Service as per the recommendation of your relationship manager and Order Id is CP395312.

I have tried to use the service but the Aspiration company which provides the service sends only emails once a month and in emails, they sent randomly job links from LinkedIn. Also, no job link didn't match my profile.

Also, I have filed a complaint against the company which provides the service so their reception called me which doesn't know anything about my profile and their seniors told me that the market didn't have Jobs according to my profile. On the other hand, I am able to find job opportunities according to my profile on my own.

I think Shine didn't know anything about any service provided by companies.

I have wasted enough time with the same and I request for a refund because they didn't care about the customer and don't know how much job is important to others.

Also, every time shine employee displays that we are affiliated with HT Media Limited to hide that we are not a fraud.

On 18th Apr 2022-I got a call from Shine.com stating that I should purchase a resume highlighter pack which would get me more visibility and jobs in the market. Once I paid, the initial amount- one after the other I was asked to pay and a total of Rs.[protected]+6017+9923+9438)was paid to shine.com on 18th Apr 2022. Since then, the services received are a sham and today I got a call saying that for my profile they don't have jobs and I can file a complaint and seek a refund. For taking a refund, they are asking me to pay Rs. 10 on https://shinecomplaints.com/
However, I have lost trust in this fraudulent company and all I want is refund of the amount I have paid. Even on 18th Apr - I had emailed shine(r.[protected]@shine.com) asking how to get a refund of the money that I paid. However, they chose to ignore it.

Hi Team,
Could you please help me with below concern :
I have received a call on Feb 14th 2022 from One Career Point saying we have selected your profile from Shine.com and you have 3 confirmed Job offers and to arrange the interview they asked me to pay amount. Initially they asked only 3500 as Registration fee. Next, they took me to their website https://onecareerpoint.com/mycareer/product/employment-verification/ and started asking do payment for document verification. While I was on call they insisted me to pay next and next like that I paid 52, 000 in total . In between I was asking them why didn’t you told me in the beginning of the call to pay this much. and they were not answering me saying mam please complete the procedure we can’t discontinue now and if we dont arrange a job with in 60 days we will refund your amount . So I did payment from my credit card.

After all done I was continuously chasing them through call since there was not response via mail I used to call them . They kept saying document verification is going on from third party end. We will tell you once done. They crossed 66 days of the payment done. I again called them and asked why are you delaying and they said verification is done . But for Cover letter you need to do 2 part again then we will schedule interview this week. I was not ready to make payment and I asked I’m not satisfied with your service refund the money . They said no we cant and he started shouting at me. He also blackmailed me saying i ll block your profile and you cant do anything. I said them I ll take legal action on you. He replied me in text message do whatever you want I ll also take a legal action on you by mailing to your current company.

So much happened to me and he ( Neeraj and Rajeev) was not ready to make refund and now his mobile is switched off.

I have made the payment for premium service but there is no service provided and I was told there are many opportunities for u but there are none after I paid. The sales man cunningly named all the big companies but they don't have any company jobs.
Also they were asking for additional amount which I denied

I need refund of 3299 and they are denying it

Please help
