[Resolved]  Shine.com — fraud call for job from using shine.com name

Address:Kolkata, West Bengal, 700024

Yesterday i received a call that my profile has been shortlisted by two mnc's and for which i need to pay security deposit of rs 2500/-, to make sure that i attend the interview.
That is completely refundable even if i get selected or not.

Talked in a very convincing way, and took me completely on confidence.
Then he said that he will be generating an id and sending me the payment link through sms. The link came and i paid rs.2500/-

After that he asked me to provide the documents, told me a list of documents and finally a profile verification certificate, i inquired about the certificate and all, then he again started convincing me that, this is required by all mnc's because there are people who put false degree and certificate in order to get the job, so to do a kind of background check this certificate is made one time.

Then i asked so i don't have that certificate, he said we can help you in that, it is chargeable and at the same time if you go through us it is refundable after you attend your telephonic interview.

Our discussion went for an hour and just for the sake my rs.2500/- was already paid, i took a risk of paying rs.6500 for profile verification.

Who so ever is reading this can say me a fool, dumb or anything, i won't mind, but i know how this happened as it went all through me, i know i was dragged by the way that person was talking. : (

I knew i am being cheated but some where i feel i was a kind of hypnotized. I know my money is not going to come back as i don't believe any police officer would barely take this thing seriously. I just want to inform everyone to be very very aware about all this.
