I am a victim. I applied for the job on the shine.com and got a message on my phone number about the vacancy in HDFC Bank. I applied for that. Later on, they asked me to submit 500rupees for application fees, again 4, 500rupees for an online interview then 9, 500rupees for profile verification. I paid all the amount with the help of internet banking from my bank account in SBI Bank at Dhanipur Mandi Branch. I submitted all this amount only because they assure me that my money will be 100% refunded after my joining.
After all this amount they again asked me about 8, 500rupees for account opening purpose in HDFC Bank but something strikes my mind I denied paying the amount and file the money refund plea to them. Soon they started avoiding me and not picking my phone calls then a few days later I got an E-mail attested with a letter in which it was mentioned that my amount will be 100% refunded on 18th May 2020. I regularly call them as a reminder. The day comes and from the morning time itself they were ignoring me, even not picking my phone call, then I gave them a threat about police complain that if they don’t refund my money on the same day then I will file a police complaint.
Then I got a phone call from Mr. Rahul Arora that mam I’m going to refund your amount but today’s the bank amount limit for the transaction is 20, 000rupees but till now your amount is 14, 500rupees so you need to submit 5, 500rupees more to get your money back. He said if you would do so then after account verification I will transact your money within 20 minutes. Then I do so because I need that money. The time goes on and he didn’t refund my money back to me and assures me that it will be done tomorrow morning. I called him at 10:30 a.m. then he said I am doing some important work and your transaction will be done at 11:30 a.m. I waited for a long but he switched off his phone.
Again I requested from them on their WhatsApp group to refund my money but there was no reply. A few days ago I gave them a promise to file a case against them in police then I got a phone call from Mr. Anuj Aggrawal and he again asked me for the money and told me that the today’s transaction limit of their bank account is 24, 200rupees and I need to submit 4, 200rupees more but I denied.
He told me the same thing as Mr.Rahul Arora said that your money will be refunded within 20 minutes but I said to him that first transact the amount into my account then I will refund you the extra amount within 5 minutes and he denied and suggested me if I would not submit the more amount then I have to wait for 40 more days to get my money back. I contacted the Shine company through E-mail and four days ago I got an E-mail from there and I come to know about the fact that Shine doesn’t charge any amount.
Through that E-email they suggested I file an FIR. But the people to whom I am contacting from last one and half months they all are shine officials. Now my total amount to be refunded is 20, 000rupees. I am mentioning here all the contact numbers from which I got the
call- 989118xxxx, 999979xxxx(Rahul Arora), 989120xxxx 706541xxxx(Anuj Aggrawal), 850586xxxx.
Apart from that I also have all the transaction details and E-mails with me. Initially, there was no doubt but now I am doubted whether my total amount will be refunded to me or not. So I decided to file an FIR against shine and all those who frauds me.
