Website:

www.referencetoshine.in

Yesterday, on 31st of march 2021 i got a call from a lady alleging that she is from 'shine.com" and asked me to just pay rs.10/- as registration fees.
she also read out the site address and later on sent me the address on wattsup, it is :
www.referencetoshine.in from the no.[protected].
when i tried to pay with my card it was rejected by my bank (hdfc) and later on the card was disabled.
the lady on the phone kept insisting i pay by net banking.
subsequently, i received a call from the bank inquiring if i tried to make any payment of 10000 by phonepe to anysite, when i denied they asked me if anybody had sent any site to which the money had to be credited.
i replied in affirmative, the bank then informed me that that site was a fraudulent one and not to deal with it.
this is for the information for others.

Shine.com Customer Care's response Dear Sir,

Many unethical people take advantage of the brand and run scams/frauds misrepresenting Shine. We have been receiving such complaints from some customers/general public who have become victims of such fraudulent and cheating activities at the hands of many criminal elements.

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.

Request you to please do not share your debit or credit card details with anyone. Please go through the disclaimer on our website: https://www.shine.com/myshine/disclaimer/
