Online matrimony safety

The common matrimony scams in India, the warning signs, and what to do if someone asks you for money or OTPs.

The most common scam

Someone builds trust quickly, then asks for money – for a customs fee, a medical emergency, a gift parcel or a visa. A genuine match will never ask you for money.

Warning signs

Refusing video calls, moving the chat off the app very fast, stories that keep changing, and pressure to decide quickly.

Never share OTPs or bank details

No reason is good enough. OTPs give someone access to your accounts.

What HimJodi does

Chats show a warning when a message looks like a scam, you can block or report in one tap, and phone numbers are shared only when both people agree.

If you were cheated

Call the cyber fraud helpline 1930 or report at cybercrime.gov.in as soon as possible, and report the profile in the app.
