[Resolved]  Shine.com — fake job opportunity - lost my money

I got a call from a guy called ashish on 12th april 2018 saying that they saw my profile in the shine., com. He said there are opportunities in essar oil. Then i sent my updated cv to [protected]@shineopening.com. Then another guy called me (His name was rahul ranjan) saying that you have to pay 2600 for the verification code. He said the money will be refunded when i join essar group. He also said the interviewer will ask the verification code at the time of interview. I paid the 2600 via internet banking. Then they some questions for the interview. On 13th april i got mail from ajit mishra from essar group saying that a phone inter will be conducted on 14th april.

On 14th april afternoon, i got the call from rahul ranjan from shine.com said to hold for ajit mishra hr from essar. Then he connected the call to ajit mishra. He interviewed me. Asking the normal hr questions nothing technical regarding to my field of experience (Petroleum field). The interviewed me for 15min. Then ajit mishra told me that he will show my interview to to other peoples in hr department and will call you on 16th april.

On 16th april i got a mail from ajit mishra saying that i have been selected to work in essar group. I got a call from rahul ranjan also. He sent me a mail which had essar group employment form and another form axis back to open salary account. On the same day afternoon i got another call from rahul ranjan saying that i have to pay rs.7800 for the verification of my documents (Degree certificate, experience certificate, old offer letter, aadhaar card, etc). I paid the 7800rs. He said that the verification will be done by stepahead department of times of india. He also said the money will be refunded when i join essar group.

And on 24th april i got mail from [protected]@shineopening.com saying that the document verification is finished and i am selected for employment in essar group and he sent me an offer letter from essar. He also called me from mobile number and told me the same.

On 25th april i got a call from rahul ranjan from shine.com he said he will connect me to ajit mishra from essar. Ajit mishra said i have to sign a bond agreement and pay rs.48000 for the bond. I paid 24000 on 25th and another 24000 on 26th april via internet banking. On 26th april after 3pm i got mail from rahul ranjan, it had an attachment of bond agreement details. He said the money will be refunded when i join essar group

On 27th april i got mail from ajit mishra from essar saying that i have to undergo medical fitness test. For this test i have to pay rs.78000.in the mail he said i have to do the medical test from the apollo hospital, navi mumbai branch. When they said i have to pay this much amount for a medical test. He said the money will be refunded when i join essar group. I knew this job opportunity is fake. Because no good company will tell you to pay and do the medical test.

I asked him to tell me which medical test i have to do, i will do it from apollo hospital chennai. He said i have to do this from mumbai itself, u cant do this from others apollo hospital because it will take more than 15 days to get the appointment to do the medical test. I called the apollo hospitals in chennai and mumbai. They said there is no such medical test for rs.78000.

I said i dont have the money to pay for the medical told them to pay for now and deduct from my salary. Then i got a mail after 4pm from [protected]@shineopening.com, saying that they will pay the half of the rs. 78000. But i have to pay the rest. I mailed them and told i dont have the money to pay. I dont want the job and please refund all the money i paid before. The next day rahul called me and told they will refund my money within a week, but no money was refunded untill now and the phone they used are switched off now.

1. The job 95% of the job opportunities listed in the shine.com are fake.
2. Shine.com does not do any kind of verification (Jobs posted are actually real) of the jobs posted in their site.
3. I called shine.com many times none picked up the phone. The automatic recorder told me to tell my problem. No call backs.
4. I called essar multiple times they will connect me to essar oil hr department but no one picks up the phone.
5. These people have original documents from essar and bill from shine.com. Where did they get them
6. I got mail from [protected]@shineopening.com, *@essar.com, [protected]@timesofindia.com

These people are a big gang cheating a lot of people many peoples. These people are living in noida.

I have attached the relevant photos of mail and documents omitting my personal details. Please dont fall into trap like this and lose money.

Why shine.com is not verifying the people who post jobs..? You are enabling fraud people to post jobs in your site. Why no proper background is being done for the people posting jobs.
