Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

Below email was sent to Mr Sagar (Shine.com) on 01 Feb 2021 however please note that I had immediately (during the tele-conversation with Mr Abhishek) had stated during the first / initial phone call made by Mr Abhishek (SME) that am not interested in your services and had stated to him to refund Rs 36, 000/_(+) immediately as per Shine.com refund policy. It's also important to note that I had not even forwarded any of my education qualification documents except draft Resume was forwarded to Shine.com.
The 03 payments as stated in the trailing email for an approximate amount of Rs 36, 000/_ (+) was paid using my credit card however during the tele-conversation with Mr Abhishek (SME) I was no comfortable with the explanation of the process as such had during the conversation had asked Mr Abhishek (SME) to refund the amount paid as am not interested in any of their services.
Its against totally inappropriate and illogical not to refund approximately Rs 36, 000/_ when no services had been availed from Shine.com except few minutes of tele-onversation with Mr. Abhishek (SME) of Shine.com and during same conversation had asked Mr Abhishek to refund all the money. I had asked in the trailing email and once again requested to provide to me atleast the substantiating evidence to prove as to what services were provided for the charged amount (Approx Rs 36, 000/_) and have not been replied or evidence provided till date. I feel cheated as when it was conveyed during the same Tele-conversation to Mr Abhishek to refund the transferred amount as am not interested in your services he only stated that company (Hindustan Times) does not refund any money that once comes in their account.
Till date neither any evidence as to what services had been provided for which Rs 36, 000/_ (+) had been charged in spite of requests made verbally as well as through email. I am sure HT (Shine.com) would have a refund policy to refund the charged amount if the candidate is not interested in services and communicate that instantly minutes after transfer of 03 payments for Rs 36, 000/_(+).
Please refer to trailing email as is self explanatory

Dear Mr Sagar,
I am extremely sorry to state that the way I was extracted payments through the three links provided one after the other and were for approximately Rs 36, 000/- (+) within few minutes of chat and was again asked to pay something like Rs 28, 000/_ or so and in return had just very briefly explained what Shine.com does when they receive candidate's Resume and Qualification documents and how will they be taking some written Test and then prepare the presentation that shall be fwd to various companies. Except my Resume no other documents were forwarded by me as one of your employees Mr Abhishek was unable to explain my queries and that created doubt in my mind as such had asked Mr Abhishek to refund all my money as have not availed any services nor intend to avail any services till all doubts are cleared. Th shocking reply of Mr Abhishek that you have worked for HT Media and knows well that any money that comes into company is never returned as such we shall not refund and money.
The reply of Mr Abhishek (SME) have a shock as such had stated to him you just conveyed what Shine.com does and sent 03 links one after the other and extracted money without giving any services. Yoy even denied that my GST number be reflected on the receipt of there payments done by me without getting any services except talking and confusing the candidates. It's was a most unprofessional way that without giving any services Rs 36, 000/_ plus was taken and being informed that Shine. Com does not return any money.
May I request Mr Abhishek of Shine.com to furnish details in writing of the services provided by Shine.com for which money of Rs 36, 000 (plus) had been paid by me.
Please provide in detail what services Shine com had provided within a few minutes on phone conversation when had asked to refund all the amount paid as am not at all comfortable the way (most unprofessional) the money is taken by Shine.com.
In view of the above I would once again request to refund all money or justify in writing with evidence as to what services have been provided for Rs 36, 000/_ (+) taken from me in the name of HIndustan Times.
Warm regards

Dear Shine Team,

This to inform you that you people have not hired the job consultants, you have hired the team who abuses the clients and force to raise the voice of the job seekers.
I have received a call from a telecaller who offered me a job in construction line in TATA as a civil engineer and site engineer. Before offering a job she has confirmed my education as M.COM with commerce stream. Pls let me know how a commerce background could be a engineer. This basic understanding should your telecallers must have. When I oppose this and asked her that I want to talk to you a senior as she started using foul language she handed over a phone to a girl seating next to her.She is actually her senior in terms o[censored]sing foul language. She TOLD ME THAT SHE IS MY MOTHER AND ALSO ABUSIVE LANGUAGE USED by her.Also so many others foul sentences and words have been used for me.
We don't know any one other than shine.
If this is your job assistance that day is not far when it will be a not job portal company but a portal where free of cost telecallers are available for using foul language.

"Request for a full Refund"...

I was called up by Kuldip singh on Jan 20th 2021 and started talking about the charge of 4660/- as under "Improved Visibility Package" followed by the below charges. I was on continuous call with the person and there had been repeated mails with Invoices send for payment to be made and in around 2 to 3 hours time, it became nearly around 1.4 lakhs charged starting improvements to the profile and more visibility towards job offerings.

My order number "299685"

Improved Visibility Package - 4660/-
Job profile Verification - 6838/-
Education Verification - 8495/-
Career Assessment Test with Expert Counselling - 15759/-
Professional Summary + Career Management essentials - 22418/-
Jobs on the Move 180 Days + Linkedin Profile Summary + Application Highlighter - 34572/-
Job and Interview Assistance, Master In Leadership and Strategy Management Training & Certification - 47199/-

Please never pick up calls from this fraud group, I have lost all my hard earned money in name of a better placement to give, with an improved CV across Top employers.

Please let me know how to get back my hard earned money. The Person (Kuldip Singh) called me from number [protected]. This Fraud group needs a better punishment so that they don't continue this further. Cheating anyone's hard earned money would end up doubly as unforgettable pain for this fraud group.

Kindly help me with full 100% refund of Rs 1, 41, 532/- on this please.

I had received call from Miss Priyanka Sharma from shine.com (ph no [protected]) on 13/01/2021 as I was at work I couldn't receive that call so I dropped a sms that you can call me later. So today again I received call which I couldn't pick as I was at work, so later when I was free I contacted on that number where this lady told me that she is talking from shine.com and she has job opportunities for me on their portal. For that I need to register on their site for which she provided me with a link Shinework.online to fill a particular form and one time registration amount of Rs 100/- to be paid. As I was desperately searching for job, I proceeded the transaction that failed for 3-4 times, as the amount wasn't deducted I remained carefree about it. But later I received a sms that 4910/- are been deducted from my account, I checked my passbook but didn't found anything just a transaction to a mobikwik with ref number. Later I recieved call from same lady asking for the completion of transaction for which I said no, but in return I face a debit of 4910/- from my account, so for that she said it's ok I'll help you in same you'll get back ur money I'm lodging a complaint and then she provided me with a complaint number, for which she said I'll receive one code "blank entry" which is valid only for 20 seconds. Failing for which my amount won't be refunded. This blank entry thing happened 6 times later and every time it costed me 4910/- instead of getting credited all the time it went from my account. I have all the payment statements from bank for the same. The whole big total of 34, 370/- looted in just an hour. From then I'm receiving similar calls on daily basis. I tried seeking help from help desk of shine.com, but it doesn't look like they are really interested to help. Please help me. I need my money back, I need refund for this loss which is done under name of shine.com. I have a family to support. 😪😪

I used the services of Shine.com after seeing that it is linked to LinkedIn and is a reputed company of Hindustan times. I am sorry that the way the services are provided are absolutely not transparent.

I initially paid for the registration an amount of 4714.98 through an executive who never explained the process or any further payment details.

Later in the day I received a call from Mr. Saksham about the details .
He explained that I will need to do Verification and Presentation. He shared a link for payment when I queried that I was not counselled about any further payment I was told that the executives were not aware of the same. I repeatedly asked for a day to do a reference check on the quality of services and I was told that it was possible. I made the payment( e mail recievd from [protected]@shine.com) . Then I was told that the payment was for only educational verification and need to make an additional payment of 7209.98 for professional verification else my CV would not be noticed. After some argument on repeated payment requests, he connected me to his senior and his senior again explained me about the payment and told that this was the final amount I would need to pay. I raised concern on the repeated requests of payment and lack of transparency and was told that he would look into it. Since I had made two payments I went ahead with this payment after assurance from the senior ( call received from [protected]). Mean while the phone got disconnected.
Mr. Saksham had shared his mobile no. [protected] and I called on that no. to inform him that the payment had been done. I was told that his senior would call. I received a call from the senior and he transferred the call to Saksham after confirmation of payment. Again I was asked to make a payment of Rs.13804 for the presentation. And I decided not to avail the presentation services.
Did n't expect this from Hindustan times group. Seemed like a money fleasing business. Transparency on the whole process would be much appreciated.
Request you to refund my amount as I am not interested in availing the services and I am not sure if the services would be provided optimally.

Respected Sir /Madam

I would like to bring to your kind notice that I got a message stating the job in Indigo Airlines ground staff. So I thought of speaking to the person whose number was displaying in the message. She is Deepthi, she asked me to pay 1500 for recruitment in Indigo Airlines ground staff. I asked her if this reliable or not, then she said if I don't get placed or what my refund it will be refunded with out any problem. So I paid the amount of Rs. 1500. After two days I took the aptitude test and that Deepthi ma'am said that I am eligible for the next round. Later after the telephonic interview they asked me again to pay Rs. 7500, after paying that only they will release my Joining letter.

I adjusted the amount and first paid Rs. 4000 and the next day Rs. 3500 after that I got the joining letter in which it was mentioned salary will be Rs. 30, 000 and joining date was 25th Feb 2021. After all this last week again I got a call from HR Meher asking to pay sum of Rs. 15500, so that they can send my file further n to create LIC on my name, even she said that rs. 15500 will be credited in my bank account. I was not willing to pay, so asked for refund. HR. Meher said refund will be only after 45days. It was fine to me n I was waiting. But yesterday I a call from HR Meher from Indigo Airlines and she asked me to pay 1620 as Gst after that only I will get my Rs. 9000 or else not.
I made some adjustments and again paid Rs. 1620 and she said I will get my refund back within 15/30 mins.
But till now no response from there side.
Since morning I'm calling that HR Meher but she is not receiving my call and that Deepthi mam is also not replying to my messages.
Hope you will consider this and refund my full money back which is sum of Rs. 10620.
These ladies are ruining the names of Indigo Airlines and Shine.com.
The name and number of that fraudsters are: Deepthi[protected]
Meher -- [protected]
And I spoke to one more lady yesterday she was from Refundable Department of Indigo Airlines itsims.

Sir please help me they have all my details and they told me that they send some legal notice on my address .Sir am very depressed please help me..

Today I got calk from Shine.com
And asking to join premium service, but it was not informed me that all the services have different charges.

I am at the moment jobless and can't continue with such high amount services.

I have not taken any services as of now and want to cancel my services. First payment was made around 3.12PM today

I am not in the situation to pay these amount. I have not paid for resume writing and professional services which is approx 17k, hence I think I will not get best services and do not want to continue for such services.

If the sales executive provides me details in advance for such services then I should have reject for the services initially. Half payment half services will not have good relations between shine and me.

I want to cancel my request and I do not want to take the services. As of now I have not taken any services this is just a first day.

Aapke yaha se call aaya tha, unone mujhe kaha 10 rupees ka form bharne ke liye kaha tha, mene 10 rupees ka form bhar diya tha, par achank mere account se pure amount debit ho gaye he.
