What Scammers do?

• Scammers usually target religious matrimonial websites; they find honest and serious people. They lure them into their clutches by creating a “decent and God Fearing” looking profile and add attracting fake pictures. So whenever you find something fishy or too good to be true, you should report to the administrator of the site under “Abuse Report” Section.
• Scammers gain the trust of their victims, they might sweet talk, send you even a gift; call you via phone, exchange photographs etc. You need to be unbiased in the initial sessions of the communication, not to be carried away and observe the other person.
• At one point of the communication, when the foundation of an acquaintance is formed. The scammer might ask you for money. It could be a donation to some charity, personal crisis, need of family, or asking money for a plane ticket. Please note; whenever someone whom you’ve met recently asks you for money online you should never comply with their demands and report the person to us and we will investigate it. If proof is found we will terminate the profile and report to the authorities.
• The Scammers usually use another countries login from their country of residence (e.g. if country of residence is U.K / USA they will login from Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine, etc). Or their “Login from” country will not appear on top of their profiles.  You must report these types of suspicious profiles and we will investigate.
• Once scammers are done with their task, they will cut communication permanently. However, you can stop a scammer before reaching this stage.
