In India the matrimony industry is unorganized. Over the years, the matrimony industry has seen several online matrimony sites, agencies, bureaus, brokers throughout the country, most of them without any plan or adequate data to fulfill their promises.
In recent times, matrimony sites have become the hunting ground for cybercriminals. You may think you've finally found your perfect partner in life, but think again, because the person you could have been in touch with could easily be a fraud. Thousands of cases of matrimonial related fraud are registered with police across the country each year. This has made people see this profession in a very different light now- commercial, unethical and deceitful.
Not many people work in this field with passion where they actually want to make like-minded connections. Instead, they take this up very commercially only trying to maximize revenue on each client they are able to get.
People who give out matrimonial ads in the newspaper should be wary too. There are several agencies who will share profiles that suit your requirements on your contact details and then would ask you to deposit a fee so they can connect you to them . These profiles may be fake and they just use them as bait to cheat you. The targets are businessmen, Techies or NRIs.
Many agencies buy data from each other and keep circulating the profiles without checking the status of the clients. People don't know that their data is opened in several matrimony sites where fraudsters make a trap by collecting their personal information.
Searching a life partner through a free matrimony platform is not a good idea. There have been cases in recent years where people have been deceived at matrimonial sites. Such incidences not only financially impact an individual but can also cause serious emotional harm.
The government also advises testing the website's validity and ratings before registering on a matrimonial website. Consult your friends and family and find out about the website's reliability. Try talking to people who might have met their life partners through matrimony platforms.
Personalized matchmakers are a transparent way whom one can connect with that could be more comforting and reliable to engage for this search. Even the most well known matrimonial sites can have fake and unreliable profiles. With personalized matchmakers, one can be a bit more sure about who they are meeting and connecting with. As this process is selective and confidential, it may get slow, but one can be assured of meeting only compatible people.
To stop matrimony scams you should keep some pointers in your mind -
