Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

I was contacted by Shine.com’s representative, who assured me that they would help me get a job in a top MNC. They initially asked me to pay ₹3, 657 for job shortlisting services. However, after making the payment, another representative named Surender called me and convinced me to take additional services, such as:

Education Verification
Employment Verification
Job Assistance

After taking the above 2 packages again they told me to take a few more packages which was costing me around 15k again. It's a scam from the Shine team.

I have paid INR 3657 and registered for Job related services on 7th Nov 2024 at 10.28am. I was told that I will get connected with a relationship manager at 2.30 pm on the same day and start get job assistance. I received a call from the manager and post 10 minutes of discussion he started sending me invoices and asked for paying education verification (INR 4673) and job profile verification amount (INR 9556). This was a complete surprise for me. After paying the money and doing registration they have started asking these kinds of hidden payments, which is completely unfair, and you feel like cheated. Please refund the following amount paid through UPI.
1) INR 3657
2) INR 4673

I recently subscribed to your services based on the assurance from your representative that they would assist me in scheduling interviews as per my requirements, update my resume, and keep me informed. However, after making the payment, I was informed that the resume upgrade incurs additional charges and that targeting specific companies is not included. This inconsistency in communication is unacceptable, and the representative seems uncertain...

Dear Sir,
I've paid INR 73, 000 till now for job assistance to shine.com, but they kept on sending me the invoice in the name of working on the profile.
When I asked about the refund, they said there was no refund policy.
Some Virender spoke to me as a relationship manager - [protected].
I have the invoices of the payments made also but I'm sure this is fraud...I applied through the shine.com website.
I would request you to help me in getting my money refunded.
Hope for a quick resolution from your end.

I got a call from shine.com on friday 13 sep/24. From agent and she asked to pay only 3675rs for full services and she told me that she will arrange call back from relation ship manager in 15 mins, but i got a call on monday 16/sep/24. From agent mr. Virender and she explained me the process and without my permission me generated 2 invoices to start the services around 20k. I believed and paid the same but later he is askinging me to pay another 18k to start the services and generated the invoice. When asked about why another 18k he said that if you want the services from shine.com then pay if not no services will start. Then i asked to connect his manager first he denied and later transferred the call to his team member mr. Singh and he is so rude on the call and said if you pay 18k then only services will start. If not no services will start when asked for refund he said there is no refund as you are not taking services from shine.com.

Shine team kindly refund the amount asap as you are not able to provide the services.
Your team is so rude with the customers like they behaveling like they are king.
I got call from shivani even she is also behaving in the same way as rm did.

As you are unable to provide the services then kindly refund the amount. Dont cheat the people.
