RD Safety Tips

Updated on, 8 June 2020

Meeting new people is exciting, but you should always be cautious when interacting with someone you don’t know. Use your best judgement and put your safety first, whether you are exchanging initial messages or meeting in person. While you can’t control the actions of others, there are things you can do to help you stay safe during your matchmaking experience.

Online Safety
  • Never Send Money or Share Financial Information: Never send money, especially over cash transfer, even if the person claims to be in an emergency. Transferring money like this is similar to sending cash — it’s nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace where the money went. Never share information that could be used to access your financial accounts. If another user asks you for money, report it to us immediately. For tips on avoiding matrimonial scams, check out some advice from the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal on this website.
  • Protect Your Personal Information: Never share personal information, such as your Aadhar/PAN number, home or work address, or details about your daily routine (e.g., that you go to a certain gym every Monday) with people you don’t know. If you are a parent, limit the information that you share about your children on your profile and in early communications. Avoid sharing details such as your children’s names, where they go to school, or their ages or genders.
  • Stay on the Platform: Keep conversations on the RD platform while you’re getting to know someone. Users with bad intentions often try to move the conversation to text, messaging apps, email, or phone right away.
  • Be Wary of Long Distance and Overseas Relationships: Watch out for scammers who claim to be from your country but are stuck somewhere else, especially if they ask for financial help to return home. Be wary of anyone who will not meet in person or talk on a phone/video call—they may not be who they say they are. If someone is avoiding your questions or pushing for a serious relationship without meeting or getting to know you first — that’s a red flag.
  • Report All Suspicious and Offensive Behavior You know when someone’s crossed the line and when they do, we want to know about it. Block and report anyone that violates our terms. Here are some examples of violations:
    • Requests for money or donations
    • Underage users
    • Harassment, threats, and offensive messages
    • Inappropriate or harmful behaviour during or after meeting in person
    • Fraudulent profiles
    • Spam or solicitation including links to commercial websites or attempts to sell products or services
  • You can report any concerns about suspicious behaviour from any profile page or messaging window at customercare@rishtadobara.com.
  • Protect Your Account: Be sure not to share your OTP/Password. If you receive an email/message asking for account information, report it immediately.
