[Resolved] Shine.com — Fraudulent calls/messages claiming to be from shine.com and naukri.com

Website: shine.com, naukri.com

I'm receiving calls and whatsapp messages from people (who could barely speak proper english), from the number +91-[protected], and they claim to be from shine.com. They said my profile is shortlisted for IBM India pvt ltd company and that I am required to fill a form in another website " https://naukriindiasearch.com/ ", the link to which they sent me through whatsapp. They then instructed me to pay Rs. 20 as the documentation charges and said that it is refundable.

I also received a call today only from +91-[protected], a lady claiming to be from naukri.com and said that my profile is shortlisted for Tata Motors and told about all these things mentioned above. She even scheduled a telephonic non technical interview at 3pm today. She asked me to a refundable security deposit of Rs.3500.

For both these calls, I asked them to send these details through emails and then suddenly the communication stopped.

I have had such similar experiences from people claiming to be from naukri.com in the past as well. So I asked them to send all this details via email to prove their credibility as professional job portals have registered domains and these fake scamsters have some cooked up domain names in their email ids. So after that all communications ended. In the past I have received such fraudulent emails also from some email ids which closely resemble those of shine.com or naukri.com but on close inspection it can be seen that they have some different domain names, ( like etc).

Kindly take strict action against such fraudsters who take advantage of people desperate to get jobs.

Shine.com Customer Care's response Dear Sir/Ma'am,

Thank you for contacting us.

This is to bring your kind notice that the details do not belong to shine learning. Like, these days a lot of fake recruiters are calling the candidates using the name of reputed job portals and extract heavy money from them. Shine.com is not responsible for and expressly disclaims all liability for any such communication via email, SMS or phone call by a frivolous source claiming to have got the contact details of the concerned person through or representing Shine.com.Therefore jobs seekers are advised not to indulge in any monetary engagement with such sources in the name of guaranteed interviews with employers or refund as we do not have any refund policy https://learning.shine.com/tnc. We advertise this in our own newspaper Hindustan Times.
