Website: www.shine.com

I am writing this complaint on behalf of my cousin akshay who has a profile on shine.com. (Email: akshay. R. [protected]@gmail.com cc-ed in this email).

Akshay has been cheated in the name of shine.com where one of the recruiters registered with shine called him on his phone and asked him to transfer a sum of 1500 for availing premium services of shine which my cousin has paid via online fund transfer.

Later he has told he would connect my cousin with an hr of "hindustan construction company" and the hr has asked him to pay an amount of rs 2500 for guaranteed job in the company which also has been transferred to the fraudsters.

Additionally they have made my cousin pay a sum of rs 1700 for shine for sending him the offer letter which was transferred as well.

It is unfortunate that shine has allowed fraudsters to register as recruiters without verifying their background and to conduct fraud in the name of shine.com itself. Freshers who are desperately seeking their first job are being cheated

Please take strict actions against such fraudsters

The fraudsters contacted from the following numbers.
