My name is Divya Bhavani R, a resident in Old washermenpet, Chennai, TN. I have registered on shine.com for job opportunities sometime back. I received a call from shine representative on "24-DEC-2021” around 10am. The spokesperson was Nithin HR from shine, wherein he explained me about Paid services of shine.com with Nominal price of Rs.3292/-, initially i showed no interest but then he started flattering about the services offered by them, wherein he said they will assign a dedicated representative from shine for me and that person will closely work with me to help me to get new Job in two weeks’ time with this nominal fees only and i don't have to make any further payment. So, i paid this Rs.3292/-
Then around 11:00 am on the same day, I’ve received another call from shine representative Rohit, who claimed to be the person responsible for my profile. He said i need to have verified documents for all what I’ve claimed in my resume( like my education, skill set). I have been asked to do the payment in a link that they shared in email. They didn’t give enough time to think through as they say that the payment link would expire, and the process completion has to be done once initiated. I paid five consecutive payments in the name of verification, assistance, skills and certification. They claimed every payment to be the final payment, after which I would receive login credentials for further proceedings. Even after making five payments they asked again Rs.35000/- for a certified course. All these payments are happened in the span of 1 hr. When they asked the final payment Rs.35000/- for me to land a job, I refused and didn’t pay that money. I then realized that I’ve been scammed. Took sometime to surf through internet to find whether it is authentic or fake. I found numerous scam reports and similar cases like me who lost their money to these people. While I made the payment I was not informed about the no refund. I asked for full refund to which they denied and said there is not refund system in shine. I Have lost around in total Rs.75000 which is my hard earned money. Kindly help me to get my full amount refund from Shine.com.
I have made two debit card transactions and five credit card transaction in EMI payments. Below are the packages I have paid my money for to shine.
Application Booster Package – Rs.3292
Education Verification Plus Package - Rs. 5192
