[Resolved]  Shine.com — Fraud Misleading Hidden Charges

Cheated through there hidden charges and before every payment, they said it is last payment you need to pay. They are cheating people in the name of HT media.

On 28 and 31 July, 2023 I received a call from shine.com that they will help in finding a job for me and provide premium services. To create an account, I would have to pay Rs.3327. I made the payment and was connected to another person(Aman).

Aman, Umesh and Virendra asked me to make a few more payments cumulatively worth more than Rs.100000 on incremental stages without revealing the full details of all the payments.

First I was asked to make a payment of Rs. 8151 for educational verification.

Then I was asked to make a payment of Rs. 14724 for company verification.

But then sent another request of Rs. 33746 and said that this is the final payment that you have to make and then the profile would be live. I was reluctant to pay but then I said okay will do it.

But here comes the shocker, finally the executive asked me to make the payment of Rs. 42354 to make the profile live.

And this is when I had it. I just didn't want the service at all. It doens't make sense.

I just said please don't give me the services, to which he said that we don't refund the money. But the profile won't be live until Rs. 42k aprox. is paid.

So, I was left in a limbo and frustation, I can't get the refund, I can't have the profile live. I just want the refund of all the amount I have paid. These are hidden charges and do nothing but dupe the customer.

I was duped into making payments forced to as they were continuously telling me, they won't provide me opportunities and interviews without paying for these services and they never told about any of these services or any of their process in the starting when I paid 3000 plus gst. Cheated through their hidden charges and before every payment, they said it is last payment you need to pay. They are cheating people in the name of HT media.

Today, I got a call from Accounting manager Shine.com Noida, he refused to tell me his name and asked to pay Rs. 10800 then only they will refund my money. He said he has got call regarding my complaint from his nearby police station who friends with him. So, if don't pay this 10k then i won't get any refund.

He refused to sent any email invoice regarding this from shine.com to pay Rs. 10800 for the taxes.

I haven't received any refund till date. Only calls again and again same stupid thing and also how many times I have to tell I don't want your dumb services to make my resume bold and verify my documents and what the hell is profile verification ??? interview hiring tests why would I opt for that crap, when companies take their own interviews/tests.

Stop activating your fraud dumb crap of services. And refund or you guys are forcing me to take serious legal actions against all involved in looting me of Rs. 59949.

I have all calls recorded, where those guys told me this last payment sir, and then within a minute send another invoice of double the amount I just paid.

STOP looting innocent people in the name of providing jobs interviews.

I have got the VISUAL RESUME that costed me Rs. 8000. It's not visual. It's worst. Even my original info from my resume is not copied correctly.

Kindly stop this nonsense and refund. Enough of your dumb services.

Replace services with courses, I don't want but you won't give refund atleast I can get something I can use, because your services are panzi schemes.

I have paid and you won't refund, this the solution . Replace services with legit courses of lifetime validity.
