Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir/Madam,

I got a call from Sine paid service team for a better reach initially and suggested to go for paid service for better service like Job Offer minimum 2 or 3 interview line up per week in leading companies based on my profile

1.Date of incident: 05.04.2021
2.Client Number[protected]/[protected]/[protected].
3.Desirable Resolution - Refund request.

Subject- Lets unshine shine.com!

Part 1

I will start from the beginning. I got a call from your organisation asking about my account on shine.com and pushing for a paid subscription of Rs3503. The guy pursued me into taking up the paid subscription by promising a lot of things such as a dedicated relationship manager finding jobs on my behalf and what not. He sounded as genuine as one can be. I took the subscription after a lot of follow up by him and I thought that it was the right decision. He told me that now my relationship manager will connect with me who will help me in finding better opportunities. I was happy that my woes will wrap up fast now

Part 2

A relationship manager named ROHIT called and after a few vague questions he pitched another product and coerced me to pay another 5728 bucks, telling me that without it he will not be able to help me. Once i paid the amount and thought probably now i will be able to get some benefits, he asked for another payment of 11021 bucks telling me that i have to co-operate else everything done till now will not yield desired results. In between I was told to put a mail also to speed up my services(I am sure to make the client believe that work is going on my profile) I thought may be this is the end hence i paid however to my surprise he sent another proforma invoice of 18349 bucks pressuring me to pay and how it is going to be life changing. At this point in time i was asking repeatedly that i hope this is the last payment to which he responded positively saying that ABSOLUTELY and i made the payment My patience gave up when he again asked for a payment of 25688 bucks which i was told would absolutely be the last payment since i wanted to get over with it. I gave up when i was asked for another payment of Rs.30000.

I immediately sensed forgery and asked them to reverse but was refused i then called my banker to reverse the transactions but wasn't possible. I was trembling with the disappointment and loss that i suffered due to coercive action of your team member.

PS- (a)The callers kept changing themselves and on asking i was told 'my voice changed due to removing of mask'- REALLY!- that was the first signal.
(b) Everytime I was told that this is the last payment, then on asking they were just twisting the words.
( c) Even on payment of Rs.65000 was threatened that I wont be benefitted at all since my package was not complete I was asked to pay another 30000 bucks. GOSH!!
(d) On refusal the staff was rude- as if I am begging for services: 65k were apparently less for them- continually I was pitched rather forced to pay another 30k which I was adamant not to pay.
( e) I got another call in the evening selling me another 30K and on refusal I was given discount of 50%- which I refused plainly!
(f) The relationship manager- Jitender this time called me again in the morning offering another discount and asking me to pay 4800(imagine in less than 24 hours 30k services were offered at 4800)… how lucky I was to get this discount!
(g) The system must be transparent- clients shall be informed about the costing at the day one only- while taking the basic membership only- the strategy was A, B, C, D, E- all upwards. It’s a trap!! Nobody does it!! I have had a paid membership of IIMjobs, Naukri, LinkedIn. Rather these people have transparent refund policies also. Such strategies cannot be successful in the long run.
(h) On complaint the staff tells me ‘’khana order karne ke baad aap khao ya feko- humari taraf se’’- very rude staff.

Part 3

Since your team member did everything with the speed of blitzkrieg, your callers are super trained to fool people i could not notice the kind of dog-[censored] subscription services he has charged me for and i was utterly disappointed after seeing what i have fallen into. All in all Rs.64200 bucks for resume writing and profile highlighting plus some stupid verification and watsapp notification which are of no use to me.

Part 4

Good thing is that i record every call that comes to me and it will be catastrophic for your brand if i put them on social media. I am of the notion that many times the leadership is unknown of the tactics ground teams play hence i write to you in good faith hoping that you will help me out here with the refunds as i no more have confidence on shine.com and probably will do better of my own in job search. I have not availed a single paid service hence it should not be difficult.
There is a difference between legitimate sales and traps!! Expect more from HT Group, specially in today’s difficult times.

My complaints are somehow marked as resolved, though it cant be resolved untill i get my money back!

I had taken the membership of Shine.com, within one day I got a call from the caller and he tricked me to pay more than Rs.64000 on false promises. I instantly argued and asked for a refund but was refused(i have all the evidence- it was a recorded line). I demand a full refund as I do not want to avail any services from such FRAUDS! Also, I intend to put PIL against them- so that they will not have any more innocent preys. I will also be displaying the same on social media. TOTAL FRAUDS!! NOT be letting them go!! In such difficult times they are fooling people! Crooks! Other websites offer money refund even on dissatisfaction!! do not fall for their traps.. internet is filled with their complaints.

I was asked to deposit an amount of rs.3292 in the first instance then repeatedly one after another amount were informed to me and every time it was informed that if i don't deposit the amount than the services could not be started, it went on for 4 times again the fifth time it was informed to me to deposit rs. 27700, then strongly i denied to deposit the amount. There were several calls from one mr. Suraj and i have all the call logs with my phone.
Immediately i sent mail for refund of all the amount deposited. They unilaterally informed that the services like resume upgradation, highlighting my resume, document verification and job assistance service etc. Started.
This is being done under the banner of htmedia and the money receipts are also from htmedia. Such a reputed media house is involved in fraudulent, cheap and money laundering activities minting money from the innocent jib seekers.
In the mean time i have informed them not to make any correspondences to me still there are number of calls and emails received fro shine.com shine learning aspiration etc. Which i feel as bogus untrustworthy.

There are numerous persons who are badly affected by htmedia and shine.com and this should be brought to the notice of the government that htmedia is involved in gulping money.

I have paid 13000 yesterday someone calling from shine and cheated me so i want to refund that money kindly help me on this.

Part 2-
Thankfully I have recorded the complete conversation.
I want full refund of my hard earned money since I have not availed any of their services! I feel cheated and ready to go to any extent to get my money back!

They have assured to refund my amount, but they are not responding to my call and keep their phone switched off.. I have the complete recordings of their phone call and Bank transactions.. If I didn't get my refund I will definitely move legally

I have paid 234 rs for a resume template because they have advertised as I can use that for 14 days at 199rs. But after payment I haven't received anything just a crashed page on the website. And now they are asking to pay 3000 rs to have my template. This is highly unfair and I asked for my money back but they said they have no refund policy.

Yesterday I made a profile in shine.com and today I got from [protected] saying they are calling from shine.com and they are providing assurance of job within a week if I pay 3599 to them.

I got a cal from shine executive he said that from shine they will give 2 interview in a day. So i have paid 3500. After paying the customers relationship manager saying different one. They saying one ur application will highlight to 2 recruiter in a day. They are not ready to hear our voice. They not speaking like a professional. Waste of time and loss of money😔😔

I already complaint about shine still didn't received any answer from company. how statics are showing it is a good company they are looting our hard earned money.

Hi, I have opted for shine service for career job opportunity and resume service along with one another total amount 120924.97 INR, Have used the service, but it was costly and mostly not beneficial.

So requesting for refund of the same.

I am shine job seeker bhagyashri bhavsar and had purchased application booster package on 10th April as per discussion with Twinkle mam from Gurgoan location office. She told that they will assign relationship manager and assist in job finding but no information was shared regarding money payment.

Today Jatin Rana called me and told he is relationship manager will guide in job finding. But he didnt explained that all services are chargeable in advance.(you can track call recorder about that). Then he mailed performa invoices 1, then 2, then 3 and then 4 but we paid it being thought as a process but later invoice 5 was also received. Everytime he mentioned it is final and last payment and i fell trap. For invoice 5 i and my husband told no for doing payment but he still forced us and called again and again for doing payment so this is harssassing. As even we were not interested and had no money to pay he forced us to do EMI also on credit card. You can verify all call recording during that time.

Request for your kind intervention and request to grant me refund on all service payment done today -12th April as these amount were not informed earlier. You can cross verify the details.
1. application booster package 3108 - payment done on 10th april
2. Service amount - 5192
3. Service amount - 9556
4. Service amount - 14748
5. Service amount - 24779

I was received a call from [protected](I guess Naukrifine company employee) telling me that my resume which I had uploaded on shine.com has been shortlisted for a job at IBM. So, I told him that I am interested for the internship and not the job and then he told me that for the further process you need to fill your information at NaukriFine.com and then pay registration fees of Rs 20. So, the moment I paid Rs 20, I received a message that...

I received a CALL ON 8th April stating job guaranteed with payment of Rs1850 for 1st round. When I did the payment with some Neha giving false commitment that the payment will be refunded back to me once 2and round is completed. I received a confirmation that m selected for 1st round and later some Ria says for 2nd round hav to pay 8500 for document verification. What rubbish is these people talking. When I got to know this is fraud Neha who gave commitments claiming to b HR of shine says we wont refund the amount. Such ### have u people hired. Shining their account with innocent people's money.

It's a shame why is the people's details share? To pull money out of their accounts??

I received email from [protected]@gmail.com and their numbers are Rhea- [protected]
Nehas Personal number as she claims-[protected]
And some employee- [protected]

All these people should be traced and put behind bars for making chutiyas to innocent people who are in need of jobs.

Where will these people go in life.
Even God wont spare them.
