Shine.com Complaints & Reviews

Hello
we were told to pay 10 rs on the shine.com website and suddenly I received a message that my 3800 rs was deducted from my account
Then I got a call from shine .com, they told me to provide again a otp as they want to refund my 3800 .. fortunately I didn’t provide them the details
This is so disturbing .. the guy keep on calling me from shine.com and asking me to provide otp so he can refund the amount in my account. His name was Vishal sharma and his id was shin3214ed.
First of all it feels you guys are hacking our account and charging the amount .. secondly if I call ur call Center no body is replying which is pathetic
How can I get my money back???
Regards
Deepika

Shine is totally a cheating company where they dont promise on the service that they offer.
Below are the two service that i have opted for for for 3363/-. After taking the service, now they are calling asking to pay for another service, which is totally junk and non-ethical for the such a big company. Dont know how to take them to the court and help the people who are really paid their hard earned money to these guys and they got cheated.

Even now also they will just call and they will ask to pay for other services, which is total ridiculous.

Initially, i got a call from shine.com regarding profile highlighter package. They asked me to pay rs. 2359. They told that the profile will be highlighted and you will get lot of interview calls. I told them i am not interested. They can keep an calling me. I asked them what is the total amount for this service. They told that the amount is only rs. 2359 (Payment reference id[protected]. The next day i got a call from another person named saroop. He told me that i have to pay another rs. 24, 936 for verification purpose. I asked them what is the purpose and initially they told no extra amount for this service. He told me that he cannot active this service unless i pay the amount.

I asked him to give me time for 2 days to check on this service. He told me that this is month end and i need to pay with in today to activate this service.
I paid the amount rs. 24, 936 (Payment reference id[protected]. He rushed me to make the payment. I thought that the procedure is completed.

Again, i got a call from him asking to pay another rs. 44, 258 for education verification and he added me some courses without my acknowledgement.
He told me that i will get interview calls only when my education details are verified. I told told him that i cannot afford this package due to high cost and questioned him why he had added courses without my acknowledgement.
He told me that i will get interview calls only these courses are done. I asked him many times to confirm whether this is the final payment and there will not be any additional payment. He confirmed me that this will be my final payment. I paid rs. 44, 258 (Payment reference id[protected].

Again, i got a call from him asking him to pay another rs. 46, 442 to continue this service. I was completely shocked and broken. I questioned him why didn't mention this earlier and why you confirmed me that final payment is done. For that, he didn't have any answer.

I told him that i am willing to continue this service and please help to refund my amount. He told me that they cannot refund the amount and i need to pay this rs. 46, 442 to continue the service. I was in a do or die situation. This is like placing a pistol in our head and bribing money.

He then connected the call to his manager malviya. He also told the same that refund is not possible and i should pay rs. 46, 442 to continue this service. I told him that if they had initially told me that service would cost rs.1, 17, 995 i would have not opted this service.

Both of them gave false commitment that service is for life time and i can use it through. I was in a do or die situation as i had already paid rs. 71, 553. Unwillingly, i had paid another rs. 46, 442 (Payment reference id[protected]. They promised me the service for life time. Totally i have paid rs. 1, 17, 995. After that i got a welcome call, they just explained me the list of services added to me. They never mentioned anything about the service duration.

After the welcome call, i got a mail that the service duration is only for 6 months. I was completely broken again. The very next day i called them and asked for the explanation. No one explained on this issue. I have asked for refund due to the lack of clarity, transparency and false promises given. However, they are not refunding the amount eventhough i am not using any of their services.

I paid 3000 for job confirmation and now they are asking for 5050 for documents verification... Why do they cheat like this. I need my money back orelse i'll take severe action. For doing like this fraud job let them go and beg for a bug then they'll know the value of a money.. Why the hell are they playing with innocent people's.. We believe the online sites for our career but u people only do like this where will youngsters go.

But now refund amount is been delayed. I paid total amount of 11, 850rs. Even after for relink generation they ask for money from me of 6200rs. I refused to pay so they are ignoring my mails and even not receiving my calls. This is exactly not a official way to treat any client.

Siddharth from shinningcareer.com saw my profile in shine and called me. He promised me to offer a job. He gave me 3 companies name - google, microsoft and delloitte and said that i could choose one of the companies and that these companies have come have vacancies for my role and that they have come forward to offer me a job. They took money from me at different levels. And said that i would get a job in 90 days. Otherwise, my money would be refunded.
But now, their phone is switched off and their website is also down.

Phone no : [protected]
Website : shinningcareer.com, shining future.com

Address : fu block house no-4,
Pitampura, new delhi - 110034

They took a total of rs. 145718 from me.

Such things happen in plain sight. They con people without any hesitation coz they know they will never get caught.

I have made some payment for JOb services at Shine.Com(Shine.com is the online job portal in India. Founded in 2008). I would like to withdraw the service and get the refund back to my debit account from Shine.

I consider this as a fraudulent and cheating case which was initiated by me by misleading and misguiding me without any detailed email about the service from their end and the total package cost which comprises of 3 payment steps..

As per their clause, payment once made by the customer are non-refundable. I completely understand that. However, payment can also be refundable in an exceptional case like this one.

As a customer, I am not satisfied with the services provided to me as committed so far. Hence, I want to withdraw the service. Where there is no trust, there cannot be any relation.

Sharing below the background of the entire process and where it went wrong:

1) On the 18th of October, I received a call from Shine.Com asking to take up the job search service from them with payment of approx. Rs 2359/- If I am interested to do so.
* It was never mentioned over the call that this 2300 was just a registration charge and there could be other steps followed by the process to complete the entire payment procedure and to avail 100 % benefit. As a professional organisation with a brand name, it should have been informed to the customer at the first level with a detailed email about the entire payment procedure, its services and its inclusions.

2) Once the payment was done by me, I received an acknowledgement email regarding the payment followed by a call from one of the executives stating that he belongs from the recruitment team and has called me to guide me on the 2nd process. I assumed the 2nd process to be uploading my resume and how to go ahead with the job search. But instead, he quickly explained to me that I am fortunate to have registered with them and they would help me to find out the best job based on my preference provided I allow them to go ahead with the background verification process with authenticated documents. I agreed to that because the conversation was just about allowing them to go ahead with the verification process.
* It was not informed to me even once during the conversation that the background verification itself refers to a certain level of 2nd step payment from the customer side. I felt the executive was trying to hide the information because of the fear of cancellation of the service from my end. Again there was no detailed email from them as a professional regarding the product/services description.

I felt they were trying to manipulate me and was trying to convince me with a different set of information. Very cleverly he instructed me to open an email. When I opened my mail box and was searching for an email from them, I found one with the heading Proforma Invoice. I was confused with the heading as no information was provided to me regarding any more payment then why did I receive an email with the heading Porforma Invoice ?.

On questioning, he asked me to open the email.

My concern is why was he not clear in his statement? Why did he not inform me about the payment over the call before asking me to open the mail box? Why was I kept unaware about the 2nd payment process until the mail was opened? Isn't the situation seems to be fishy and misleading?

As a professional with such a big brand name, we do not expect such a gap in conversation while dealing with any clients professionally. I was brainwashed that they will reflect my resume for next 6 months in 35 + companies but I wouldn't have to wait for so long rather I will have 100 % placement service satisfaction within a month. He was smart enough to convince me that with a verification payment of Rs 10, 739/- he assures to help me with a job within 30 days as it never exceeded for more than 30 days for any other customers/clients.

3) Well, finally I made the payment with the satisfaction that with 10, 739 + 2359 I can assure myself to have a job within a month with the services provided from shine.
* It was not informed to me even once that there could be another 3rd payment step to complete the final process and to avail 100% services from them.

4) Once the 2nd payment was done by me, I received an acknowledgement email regarding the payment followed by a call from another executive stating that he too belongs from the recruitment team and has called me to guide me on the 3rd followup process. I assumed the 3rd process to be uploading my resume and steps to initiate the job search method. But instead, he quickly explained to me that I am fortunate to have registered with them and they would help me to find out the best job based on my preference provided I share my LinkedIn Profile link with them and allow them to rewrite my resume with the help of professional resume writer. I thought I already made a payment of 10, 739/- and it was its followup service. But no I was wrong. I was asked to open my mail box once again to check the 3rd service email from them.

To my shock, again I was sent an email with the heading Proforma Invoice with a payment link for Rs 18, 700 approx.

My query is after the 1st registration charges and after reviewing my resume, Why was I not informed that it needs special attention and services to highlight the same in the market with different companies to meet my priorities and for that, I need to follow another 2 payment options provided which the services will be 100% complete for initiation?

So according to me, I felt Shine was making me a fool with incomplete information and by making me do the instant payment manipulating me without prior information and intimation about the total cost of the package which suits my requirement.

Hence, I consider this as a Cheating/Fraudulent case.

I want my money back.

Finally i ended up paying rs. 35916 on 23/07/2019.
I immediately realised that those service are useless for me and i kept writing and calling them to refund the money but they refused.
The services they offered to me. Apart from resume booster and application highlighter are as below..

2. Education verification plus package - amount rs 8495
3. Professional summar - amount rs. 10619

Sir please help me.

This is the most fraud, fake, company ever.
They called me and asked for an initial deposit of rs3500 then rs8500 saying it would be refunded in 4 days for document verification, saying that paying has to be done immidietly or else vacancys will go. They pressure so much for paying.. Then after both the payments the conduct a fake on call hr interview, when i called up the hospital where i was applyng they said there is no such hr from the name.. On telling them that they said these are hidden vacancies and not everyone knows about them... These were a team of fake people and asked me more 18900 and said if i paid this amount only then will the previous amount be refunded or else i wont get the refund of any of the amount paid till now... I understood these people are fraud and refused to pay any further.. On complaining to shine and on asking them if the agents were their agents, they did not deny nor did they say yes, they said that we dont charge any money from candidates, but if they have already charged you, you can go ahead with them but do not make any further payment.. Basically this shine.com is associated with the fraud caller they keep saying beware of them, fake callers and all but they are very much associated with them, as they did not get back and resolve anything even though i sent them pictures of all the emails, transactions done, agents name and no., etc..
