How to not get fooled on matrimonial sites
Looking for a life partner on an online matrimony platform? Be vigilant and practice safety and security measures to avoid being fooled:
Via email: Registering the email ID is a primary mode of contact while making a profile on a matrimony platform. It is advisable to create a new email ID when creating your profile on a matrimony platform, according to Saneesh Sukumaran, founder of a matrimonial website.
Time and space: People with good intentions will give you your personal space and time to interact. They won’t try to pressurise you to share personal information. Inconsistent behaviour:
While talking to anyone, ask enough questions to know the person better, and check for compatibility.
Warning signs: Make sure that there is no emotional imbalance or character traits that are inappropriate in any way. Inconsistencies about age, interest, marital status, profession, and employment, failure to answer questions are clear warning signs. Never reveal your account information:
Keep your user name and password safe. Remember, no one from any trusted service will ever ask you for the same. “Do not create easy passwords. For your safety, it’s recommended that you change the password regularly”, says Rajasekar KS, general manager of a matrimonial website.
