Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

I got a call from shine.com and Team HR for the job post and initially asked to pay 3617 rupees for the one time registration process. Again a guy called sidharth called me saying "there should be company verification" happen so make another 10000. That time i stopped believing them and not made any payment. When I asked abt the refund of earlier 3600 rupees money, he started replying rudely and stating it cant be refunded anymore. I attched my payment confirmation details below and i need my refund immediately. ELse i would formally file case in the Bangalore central court. Though the amount is small, such a cheap website to loot money from people.

I have paid Rs 25000/- for - master In leadership and strategy management training course on 17th dec-2020 ...but till date not a single course has taken ...
so immediately return my money ...else going forward - i will take
this issue to ht media group

On 3rd December 2020, I received the call from Mr, Varun from shine from this mobile number +91 [protected], he informed me to invest one time payment of rupees 3292 for a job, after that call received one by one asked for payment and paid by me around 34, 027 Rupees.

Your person did not inform me about the total investment amount while first call discussion and now I lost a total amount of 34, 027 ( Thirty four thousand and twenty seven rupee ) and otherwise i would have informed at first call itself to shine i am not interested, again asked for payment of 24, 779
Shine persons would have to inform me about the total investment, , Keep informing me to pay the amount, which is not a good practice and i am completely not ok like this approach from shine .

Please refund the total amount of 34, 027 Rupees which I paid to shine to me immediately

The final call discussed on 3rd Dec 2020 with Mr.Sooraj Sharma at 6.49 pm and contact number is +[protected] from shine employment service and informed to refund my amount .

All paid transactions screenshots i already send email to [protected]@shine.com on 3rd Dec 2020.

I want my paid amount to be refund from shine.

First shine executive called demanded one-time payment of RS 3657/-.
Then on the next call took RS 5253.26/-. Very next took RS 9668.76 as service. Next to that forced to pay RS 16518/-. Again demanding for more money but I refused then they provided a disclaimer that so and so service will not opt and we will not be able to help you for your job search etc. Felt like whole money goes waste, unnecessarily enrolled for undesired courses and took money when I asked for refund then again given disclaimer Shine does not have a refund policy. Absolutely cheating with job seekers. Need help to get all my money refund.

The company asked me to pay Rs.3000/- to take membership so that a suitable representative person would look into my profile and would arrange interview schedule for me as per my skills and expereince.

But after paying Rs.3000/-, again they are asking me to pay Rs.5545/- for Career Assessment Test and Education Verification purposes which were not told by them earlier.

I uploaded resume on shine.com some times ago and i received a call from shine executive named Abhishek Malviya and told me to Rs. 3552 and will pay international resume and job search service for life time. I denied and next day again received a call from him he convinced me and i paid Rs. 3552. After sometime once more call comes and told me some more charged Rs.10736. Now i refued for paying and refund my Money Rs.3552 he denied that no...

Dear Team,
Greetings of the day
This mail is in regards to the job portal search which has left me feel cheated.
I had got a call from the Shine team in regards to a paid feature to highlight the jobs in the market. Vikrant well explained how to process line would work. He mentioned the cost of the facility and took a fee of Rs.4259.00 (incl. taxes).I have asked him multiple times if i will be charged anything extra for the any purpose in future, during the search. He convinced saying there would be no additional charges to this and this would be the final charge in which we will have all the services taken care. Hence i proceeded today and got my self enrolled by paying the amount.Later i got an email for the Shine team, to send my updated CV. I did that too. after which i received a call from Vicky who explained me in details about how will the process work, after which he threw a bomb which said incase we need to proceed for highlighting the profile we would need an additional of Rs, 14000/-.I was shocked that just this morning i was said there would be no addtional cost other than the Rs.4259.00 and now before the day ends i get to know i have to pay additional Rs.14000/- to proceed. When i asked Vicky why is this no been told during the sale of the premium package as Mr.Abhishek and Venkat tells me there would be no additional cost. Vicky tells me that untill we review your CV we cannot mention the cost. How will we know if your profile needs to structured. My only question is why is this not informed during the initial sale its self, stating that incase we find the CV not upto the mark there will be an additional cost. At Least we would have a image of the expenses that can be incured.Now i feel cheated and i do not wish to proceed with Sine, i request you to kindly initiate a refund of Rs.4259.00 which i have payed. below is the receipt for your kind reference.

I have been cheated and informed that I will be getting 2 interviews per week on a committed basis. Later, I came to know that this is not true.

Luckily, the services are yet to be activated as I have not approved the same.

The service is not required. Refund my money immediately.

Hi Team,
This is to inform i got call from shine saying will be providing job and you need to pay 3, 000/- Rs and later they demanded you need to provide 7, 500/- and again they told me they will streamline the package if i pay 25000/- on an around i paid completely 48000/- i have the mail copy from the executive team also for not paying any amount.
Now if i call the phone number which they are providing it is coming as switched off which is shine website phone number only.

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.
Call received from[protected] and
