How to Avoid Fake Profiles in Matrimony: Safety Tips from Jyoti Goyal
A polished photograph and impressive biodata can create interest, but they cannot establish someone’s identity or intentions.
India’s official cybercrime advisories warn that fraudsters use false matrimonial identities to approach people seeking marriage. A thoughtful search should combine openness with practical checks.
1. Check the Story Behind the Profile
Look for consistency across the biodata and your conversations. Notice unexplained changes in names, employment, location or family details.
Ask reasonable questions and seek clarification. An inconsistency deserves attention, although it is not proof of fraud by itself.
2. Verify Important Details Independently
Where appropriate, check professional claims through official employer websites or relevant professional registers. Discuss document checks respectfully and with consent.
A photograph of an identity document alone does not establish that the person communicating with you owns it. Avoid collecting or circulating more sensitive information than necessary.
3. Take Time Before Making Commitments
Be cautious about intense declarations or pressure to commit immediately. Repeatedly avoiding live conversations or agreed meetings also warrants questions.
Plan initial meetings in public places and let someone you trust know the arrangements. Official matrimonial-fraud guidance recommends meeting face to face before committing to marriage.
4. Keep Money Separate from the Introduction
Requests for emergency assistance, travel charges, customs payments or investment deposits should prompt you to pause.
Do not send money to a prospective match based on a relationship formed online. Delhi Police describes scams involving rapidly developed relationships followed by fabricated payment demands.
Pay any matchmaking membership fee only through independently confirmed company channels.
5. Protect Your Digital Privacy
Keep OTPs, passwords and banking credentials private. Avoid sharing intimate photographs or videos, and be cautious about unfamiliar links, downloads or requests for screen sharing.
Official matrimonial-fraud guidance warns that private material may be used for blackmail.
6. Ask What “Verified” Actually Covers
Before relying on a verification label, ask which details were checked, when they were reviewed and what remains self-declared.
Mobile confirmation, identity checks and employment checks serve different purposes. No verification process can guarantee compatibility or eliminate every risk.
7. Preserve Evidence and Report Concerns
If you suspect fraud, save profile links, messages, phone numbers and payment references before reporting or blocking the account.
Notify the platform. If money has been transferred, contact your bank or payment provider promptly and report financial cyber fraud on 1930 or through cybercrime.gov.in. cybercrime.gov.in
