please don't believe these guys,fraulent don't pay any money to them

Even 1star is also waste for shine.com
I’ve paid around 11k rupees for the paid services and i haven’t received a single interview call,
Totally fake don’t trust,
They’ll arrange a person for support but no use,
Don’t pay money for these idiots.

TL;DR: I lost ₹1 Lakh to Shine.com’s "recruitment services." It is a systematic trap designed to exploit the Sunk Cost Fallacy. They start small (₹6k) and escalate to ₹38k+ chunks while keeping you on the call so you can’t think. I have filed a Consumer Court case, but I am posting this to save your money.

The Background: I thought paying a premium to a "reputed" agency like Shine would filter out the noise and give me access to executive/exclusive listings. This was my first mistake.

The Modus Operandi (The "Slicing" Tactic): They do not ask for ₹1 Lakh upfront. They slice it into smaller amounts to bypass your fraud radar.

The Hook (₹6,000): They called offering "Exclusive Job Opportunities" that aren't public. The entry fee was low. I paid.

The Escalation (₹9,000): Immediately after, I was told I needed a "Profile Verification" to activate the previous service.

The Pressure (₹18,000): Then came the "Senior Consultant" charge.

The Trap (₹29,000 & ₹38,000): By this point, I was deep in the Sunk Cost Fallacy. My brain said, "If I don't pay this next amount, the previous ₹30k is wasted." They kept me on the call the entire time to prevent me from verifying details or thinking rationally.

The Reality of the Service:

No Exclusivity: The "exclusive" jobs are either fake or publicly available on LinkedIn/company carrier pages for free. Validated this later by checking posts on grahakcomplaints and trustpilot

Dark Patterns: They use fear and urgency to force payments.

Legal Action I Have Taken: I realized I was being targeted and stopped paying. I have done the following:

Consumer Complaint: Filed a grievance via the National Consumer Helpline (NCH).

Evidence: I have preserved the call recordings (where they pressure me) and the payment trail. They are now trying to stall me by asking for my recordings

Key Takeaways for You:

NEVER Pay for a Job: Legitimate recruiters get paid by the employer, not the candidate. If they ask you for money, it is a scam.

Hang Up Immediately: If they say "pay X to unlock Y," cut the call.

Sunk Cost is Real: If you paid ₹5k and they ask for ₹5k more, lose the ₹5k. Do not throw another ₹5k after it. The hole has no bottom.

To Shine.com Representatives reading this: I am not settling for a partial refund. I am taking this to the legal conclusion.

Used there resume writing service and I am v happy ND satisfied with this

I am writing this to warn everyone: Do NOT trust Shine.com. They are running a sophisticated financial trap designed to bleed customers dry under the guise of "career services."
Their strategy is a classic bait-and-switch scam:
They started by asking for a "minimal" fee of ₹4,000 to get me interested. Once they had my first payment, they demanded ₹7,000 more, then another ₹20,000, explicitly promising that each payment would be the "final" one.
When I tried to stop, they used emotional and financial blackmail, telling me that if I didn’t pay more, all the money I had already paid would be "wasted" and non-refundable.
They continued this cycle until they had extracted ₹1.52 Lakhs from me.

I received zero services in return. There is no consideration for the customer; they are simply hunters looking for their next victim.

Warning regarding staff:
A person identifying as Nikhil Singh (Relationship Manager) was central to this. He was instrumental in pushing these demands and leading me into this trap.
This is not a career service; it is a financial scam. They prey on job seekers' hopes to extort massive amounts of money. Please, save your hard-earned money and stay far away from Shine.com.

Most fraud company - Don't listen to those bluff stories saying they will provide job opportunities within 2 weeks. Initially called to my wife who is looking for change and they said paid service for 4999 and later one guy from shine called and conveyed to us as dedicated person and on call he has taken 1.5 L for unnecessary course.

It started with 50K for some courses and later went upto 1L and then 1.5L .. We tried to drop at 30K but he said it won't return and only one more package we have to take and like this it went on. I have recorded all the conversation and the way he took the amount.

After heavy fight and i told that it was recorded then call transferred to another person some lead, and she replied over email that no more amount we have to pay (1.5L)

After amount paid there were no call from that bluff guy and used to send few recommendations (useless) job posting of 1-2 or 5L per annum.

I want to share my experience with shine.com courses. unlike many other platforms that offer lifetime access, shine.com onlyprovide access for 1 year. despite their courses being quite expensive. This was disappointing and felt like poor value for money. Because of this limitation and the overall experience, I cannot recomend their courses to other.

Main Abhishek Sharma from Bareilly UP Se.
20 June ko Mere Pas me Shine.com ke Executive ka call aata hai, or usne mujhse bola ki Aapke Job ke Regarding yaha per 3300rs ka Ragistration karana hoga, Maine Kaha thik hai main 3300rs ka Registration kar deta hu. Fir 21 June ko kisi dusre Executive ka call aaya or usne bola ki yaha pe aapko chota sa Investment karana hoga jisme Apki High Profile shine create karega or apko Hight Package ki Job Provide karaye or usne ye bhi kaha tha ki 10 din me maine aapka poora Amount recover kara dunga fir usne kaha aapko 2200rs ka amount pay karna hoga,
Fir maine usko kaha thik hai main 2200rs payment kar deta hu, fir maine usse kaha ki 2200rs ka amount karne ke baad me mujhe or pay to nahi karna hoga, to us executive ne bola ki aapka ek Paisa bhi nahi jayega,
To maine kaha thik hai main 2200rs payment kar deta hu or Maine 2200rs ka Amount link ke jariye UPI se kar diye.
Fir us executive ne mujhe ek or mail bheja jisme 4000rs karne ko bola ki ye aapko or karna hoga.
To maine us executive se bola ki aapne kaha ki 2200rs ka amount ke bad me kuch pay nahi karna hoga fir ye 4000rs ka amount kyun dena hai fir usne mujhe misguide karna shuru kar dia.
To bo bola ki yaha pe aapko 4000 or kar dijiye or 4000rs karne ke bad me kuch pay nahi karna hoga,
To maine 4000rs or kar diye,
Fir 3rd mail or aaya or executive bola aapko 7600rs ka Amount or pay karna hoga fir maine usse kaha aap baar baar mujhse mera amount pay karaye ja rahe ho mujhe isme kya milega to mujhse bola
Aapko 10 din me poora amount recover kara dunga, maine shine.com pe believe karke maine ye bhi kar diya or is tarah se shine ke employee ne mujhe Fraud or Misguide karke mere jariye usne 68000rs ka Amount pay Kara liya,
Fir maine usko bola ki mera Amount bapas karo to usne mujhse bola ki aapka kuch bhi bapas nahi karuga or agar tumko Paisa chahiye to aapko or Paisa Dena hoga is tarah se shine ke employee ne mere sath me 68000rs ka Fraud kiya or mujhse galat tarike se baat Kiya.
Or bahut ganda or galat tarike se baat Kiya,
21 June se leke ab Tak 6 mahine ho chuke hai,
Shine ke sare employee fraud hai or candidate ko loot te hai. Mujhe kuch nahi chahiye mujhe mera 68000rs refund kare. Or jitna mere amount se paisa gaya bo sab HT media limited ke account me gaya hai jiska Screenshot ye hai, please mera amount refund karo full amount 68000rs ka.

Worst place to connect, they didn't the package clearly and keep on asking to take a new package(paid service). They are totally fraud, don't recommend any one.

This is worst place you could search for jobs. Feel like this is a fraud company. Their paid services are absolute scam, please don't waste your money.

Purchased there resume writing services and honestly it is v good

I was looking for freelancing work or any wfh opportunities which I finally got from shine

Its been 3 mnth i was looking for marketing internship which i finally got via shine very happy

Recently bought there services of resume writing didnt expected much but it was really good writer did a great job

Three weeks back, Shine.com called me with “premium services” and “100% interview guarantee”. Started with ₹3,697 registration, then kept demanding more ₹5,650 verification, ₹9,967 background check, ₹17,047 placement, ₹13,679 priority totl ₹50,000 gone. No job calls, no profile boost, nothing delivered. Classic bait and switch scam.
I took action immediately
Posted full story with proofs on LinkedIn, tagged job groups & HT Media already multiple shares.
Filed cyber crime complaint on cybercrime.gov.in with call recordings, screenshots & transaction IDs.
Blocked their numbers and refused multiple follow-up calls begging for one last payment or agreement sign. But firmly refused.
Filed consumer complaint on consumerhelpline.gov.in demanding full refund and compensation for fraud and mental harrasment and taucharing.
Spreading awareness daily on LinkedIn to save others this helped me a lot to spread awareness and reveal the fraud shine.
Friends, if you’re a victim, do the same! Post publicly, file cyber & consumer complaints, never pay another rupee, block them, and warn everyone. Let’s expose Shine.com together and stop this fraud. Stay safe!

At first glance, Shine.com appears to be a highly professional and well-organized service provider. The website, the pitch, and the way they approach you create an impression of expertise and structure. Unfortunately, my actual experience has been quite the opposite.

The process felt disorganized, and once you subscribe, the focus seems to shift more toward asking for additional payments and upgrading to more services — many of which they are not fully capable of delivering. Instead of feeling supported, I felt pushed.

The biggest disappointment was their resume writing service. What they delivered was far from a professionally crafted resume. One document turned out to be just a covering note, and another included the name of a company I have never worked for. It gave a strong impression that the content was copy-pasted from other resumes, with minimal effort to understand my background or differentiate my profile. If every resume looks the same, how does that help anyone stand out in today’s job market?

I am sharing this feedback not out of frustration, but in the hope that Shine.com’s top management takes a serious look at these issues. The platform has potential, but without genuine customization, quality control, and accountability, customers will continue to feel let down.

Big fraud shine I got cheated by 35000 today. They told me first pay registration fee of 3697 and after that a madam so called Shalu as relationship manager told me to pay 5650 and than 9967 and and 17047. When I started arguing a man called Deva was trying to pacify me and asked me to pay 24679 again which I refused. I have asked for refund and if they don't I will go to consumer forum and file a cheating case against them. Giving these people 48 hours time to refund or face the consequences. I have also contacted the press and media and I will expose shine fraud team

⭐ Review Title: Misleading and Unethical Practices by Shine.com — Beware!

I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience with Shine.com. On 11th November 2025, I received a promotional call from Ms. Gunjan offering their Combo Pack (Application Highlighter & Resume Booster) for ₹3,292, valid for a year. I was later contacted by Mr. Aravind (08068914217), who repeatedly insisted I pay immediately, assuring me that this was a one-time cost and no additional amount would ever be asked.

Before paying, I even wrote to shine.com

to confirm the authenticity of the offer. Shine’s reply confirmed it was genuine and mentioned nothing about any future payments. Based on that assurance, I made the payment while Mr. Aravind was on call and sent my CV as requested.

However, just a few hours later, I received a call from Ms. Shallu (08068914122), who introduced herself as my Relationship Manager and immediately demanded an additional ₹4,990 to proceed further. When I refused, she arrogantly insisted that I send a written statement saying I didn’t want Shine’s services anymore!

This clearly shows a bait-and-switch tactic — Shine first lures candidates with a low “one-time” cost, and then demands more money once payment is made. This behavior is unethical and feels like a scam.

I strongly urge others to be cautious before making any payments to Shine.com. They make verbal promises and written assurances that they later break, leaving customers cheated and helpless.

I’ve already written to their team for a resolution and refund. If there’s no proper action, I will escalate this to consumer forums and public grievance platforms.

Payment Details: ₹3,292 paid on 13th November 2025
Nature of Complaint: False promises, unethical additional demand, harassment by staff

Its not good for premium jobs and random people call unnecessarily using your info . Just dont register on it .
