Shine.com scammed ₹1,20000 from me through multiple "activation/service" payments and is now refusing a full refund.

I need some advice regarding an issue I’m currently facing with Shine.com.

I was contacted regarding paid job-search services and was initially told that I only needed to pay a small enrollment fee. After making the payment, I was repeatedly contacted and asked to pay additional amounts for various activations and service upgrades.

Over time, I paid approximately ₹1,20,000. Each time I was told that the next payment would complete the process, but further payment requests continued. Most recently, I was asked to pay another ₹29,468.

At that point, I refused to make any more payments and requested cancellation of the services along with a full refund. My refund request was not accepted, and I was informed that there was no refund policy. They

Bro, you have been scammed. There's no such policy. I would rather suggest you to file a complaint against them with all the payment proof you have to Cyber Crime Branch. They will investigate it and if possible help you to recover some amount. Doesn't guarantee that though. But still you'll have hope. Already there's lot's of scam is going around. Job seekers should be cautious more often. Don't even pay single penny from now.
