Note from NRIForShaadi.com team: Its not the fault of any particular matrimonial website. These frauds are very common on all matrimonial sites. Both NRI and Indians based in India, both girls and boy, are doing such SHAMELESS frauds. Never give your money to anyone without meeting them and their parents first. Most common fraud is when fraudster becomes your friend/close friend after few chat/call conversations on whatsapp and then before meeting you, one day will create a fake medical/aiport customs/family emergency and will ask for money as help from you. If you avoid paying the money, fraudster will say emotional things to you. BUT DON’T PAY THE MONEY. ALWAYS ASK TO MEET WITH PARENTS FIRST BEFORE GIVING MONEY. TELL THEM THAT YOUR DAD WILL CARRY THE MONEY. IN 100/100 cases, fraudster will stop talking to you if you don’t give the money and if you insist on meeting with parents. You will be saved. Report such people to matrimonial websites and cyber crime branch.
