Member Comments on Shaadi.com

Internet fraud - Shaadi.com website. They create fraud profile with nice girl pics and send interest to everyone. I replied (without knowing anything) then asked to get membership to contact that person, then I paid amount to get membership, and i found finally, the pic is model pic. I want to make complaint...

They called several times, before i paid the amount. Now, i am requesting to give me a call, they didn't reply, I am totally, p*$$ed off of their website and service.
My honest request, Please don't be like me..... They are totally cheaters and frauds create fake profiles to earn money...

Just to add, it's a safer bet to use a track phone until you feel comfortable. Nonetheless, a person making threats to you is still a crime regardless if you gave someone your real phone number.

Victim blaming isn't right and doesn't solve the problem.

@Rahul - Get rid of your victim blaming attitude. Many people give out their cell phone number online and don't go through this. Many people haven't had this experience on match.com and eharmony.com. If other sites have better quality people, what's going on with shaadi.com?

My parents insisted to give out my information, because they thought that shaadi.com was filled with pure and moral Indian men looking for marriage. They had no idea that an Indian man is capable of threatening to rape other women.

Ya, right, Rajni - maybe you're hired by shaadi.com to promote the platform?? This is also a possibility. I had some bad experiences there, too -- meeting guys who obviously don't want to get married and are just looking for flings, I had phone calls late at night, bec premium members and accepted members have access to your phone no. It's really weird there. I met some guys who were genuine, but seriously... eh... it seems they chose the website bec there was no other way for them to get to know a girl... kind of nice people, but really out of this world. So that's my experience. I wouldn't expect anything from being on there.

@Ram Hey Ram. Sorry but reporting won't do anything. You see it's the head of shaadi.com which is corrupt and rotten to the core. They just want to make money by fooling others. Shaadi.com or any of these sites are creating fake profiles to lure customers so what would reporting do? The guys from your support team will have a laugh and put it in their junk box.

It's not reporting that will work. I guess people have to realize and smarten up. We have to raise awareness that these sites are mostly fake. There are a few genuine people but let's say out of 20 fake profiles you get one genuine.

The problem consists of:

1. Shaadi.com staff creating fake profiles.
2. No security . Anyone can create a profile using a fake ID. I can even create a profile with the email of your support team for fun:)
3. Scammers creating fake profiles and trying to fool people and extort money.

For all you people who still believe there are good people on shaadi.com or any other matrimonial site for Christ sake wisen-up.The world is not as good as you are. The world is full of crooks trying to rip you off. Never ever give any money in any circumstances to anyone you meet on the internet.

Be safe and be smart:)

Shaadi.com, Bharathmatrimony, Jeevansathi, Rediff matrimonials and many are bogus in India. Stupid beliefs, these innocent Indian people are tricked and struck by the colorful photos and Bollywood style drama. Forever phony e-mails, fake conversations, bogus profiles are milking cash for these websites creators. Yes, there is a lot of research going on into these Indian matrimonials sites. As per the reports. They are very close to getting caught. Who are they? When the scrutiny comes it is impossible for them to escape because they are on record.

They really need to sort out better vetting of members. Having email correspondence with 3 scammers from Nigeria in 4 months isn't good going.

Sorry to hear you went through that. Hopefully you can block that woman's e-mail? I don't think shaadi.com cares who joins. They just want the person's money. Shaadi.com also told me that they had no evidence to incriminate the member, and to just call my cell phone company. Some Indians seriously need to wake up and realize that this stuff does happen in our community. Get off your high horse and quit living in denial. Even after knowing what that man on shaadi.com did to me, my parents still feel that shaadi.com is filled with pure and moral good Indian men. Yeah right.

I have had a similar problem with Shaadi.com. I registered with good intentions and hoped to meet my life partner. I contacted a woman by firstly requesting a photo password. Her photos seemed pleasant so I decided to send her a message through the shaadi.com website. A few hours later I received a text message from that woman to my surprise. Apparently they make your number public. This wasn't a problem at the start since I was interested in her. However, after a few e-mail exchanges she sent me some more photos which didn't look like the photos on shaadi.com at all. So I lost interest and sent her a polite e-mail to say that I am not interested in taking this further. After this it got really bad as this woman would not take no for an answer. I started getting endless text messages and e-mail. She even found me on facebook and sent me some nasty messages through that.

I contacted shaadi.com. They first sent me a message to say that they have cancelled this member's membership but this was not true. I wrote to them again and they told me that they had written to this member and warned her. This was not true either since this member continued to harass me. After this I sent a strong letter to a senior manager and he responded to say that I have no evidence that they gave this member my number. They simply said to call the police. However, the police told me to take this up with shaadi.com. In the end both parties simply advised me to change my phone number. They don't understand that I have had the same number for 15 years.

I cancelled my membership but am still receiving nasty e-mail from that woman and also a lot of advertising messages from shaadi.com selling me anything from apartments to speed dating services.

If I could go back in time and do something different, I would not have joined shaadi.com at all.

Hi Guys...I need help.. Anybody knows about this profile...MEE85 in shaadi.com? I think her profile is fake... If someone has got the interest from her? Do share with me...to lifeinani@yahoo.co.in. She said she is from UK and but she is sending the mail from Nigeria. Confused...?????

This is a fake site, most profiles are fake , i wont recommend this site to anyone

I had a profile on Shaadi.com. I just want everyone to be aware of a doctor who is lurking on this website. He comes under different identities or profile ids. He is a paid member. He will not tell you anything about himself. Seems he is into Palliative care. He targets people outside his own city. He is very dangerous. Please beware. He is already married, had kids and is a very smooth talker. I saved myself in nick of time. Please be very careful. Before starting anything close contact enquire everything about any profile thoroughly. Family, friends. Don’t feel shy to ask questions. If they shy away means something very fishy. Enquiries please contact nishadix at hotmail.com. I have been so emotionally disturbed by this man. I hope his game ends soon. Always trust your gut feeling.

I would not advocate this site to anyone. There are fraudsters on this site and shaadi.com does nothing to screen them. I was interacting with a member (arc_of_the_rainbow) and found to my shock that the fellow had lied. He had a five year old child and he had mentioned that he has no children on the profile. I brought it to the notice of shaadi.com but instead of taking any action in spite of my providing them with the guy’s phone no and work information so that they can verify and cross check.. they just kept telling me they are looking in to it. While all the while they allowed the member to keep his profile online and continue duping other girls. I guess, since he was a paid member, they just didn’t want to lose the revenue otherwise it beats me how they are unable to find out such a simple fact, when an ordinary girl like me could find out.

I am thoroughly disgusted with them.
