Fraudsters using fake
profiles on Matrimony websites to make money
I am a paid member of the
Bharat Matrimony website finding partners and came across a profile of girl in
my daily matches, I found it to be profile interesting and sent a request to
the profile named Keerthi Venigalla. who had a Free profile and a
pretty profile photos to go with well Qualified MBBS too which lured me in to
that.
the Next day I had a reply
from Bharat Matrimony were she replied to my interest with below message
Congratulations! T2590634

keerthivenigalla3@gmail.com so that we can proceed further. .
I have added her to my Gmail
account and sent her a email asking what is the information she
seeks
She replied and asked me to
send my profile details which I did, and then I requested for the same.
She replied with the bio

Then she added me on what's
App as I live in united kingdom and it was easy to communicate.
Then she asked me what my
interests were and what she seeks in her partner and I asked her the same
Day 2 -
She started communicating
more as if she is totally interested, she said she asked her grand mother who
was 90 years old to look at the horoscope and she informed that the
horoscope matched perfectly.
she started saying what are
my plans after marriage if I would like to settle in UK or coming back to
India. then she said that she already very much interested in my profile. Then
I sensed some kind of fraud and I goggled her name, I could not get any negative
results and she had a Face book profile which looked decent.
then the communication and
bonding grew for some reasons she hesitated to do video chat.
Day 3
She started icing me by
calling me with nick name as Nani and slowly she asked me how much I earn and
as she has done MBBS, she was interested in writing PLAB in UK and work.
Then she said she went to
USA twice and she said the thing between us is going great Then she asked me
what I liked in her and the same I asked her. Then she asked if I had any
crushes the interesting thing started here she asked if some girl comes and
proposes you, what will you do
I told her that I will think
about it,
To my surprise, she said I
am already committed to you and you should also be the same.
Then she said I Love you
(which I thought was little too fast) then I told her we never spoke on the
phone and haven't even seen each other. The next moment she sent me many photos
of her and also called me directly to UK from Guntur.
Then the conversation grew
as I had fever and she started comforting me in chatting saying have to tool
medicines and don't go to office , take rest.
Day 4
The next day she said her
mom is happy with my profile and her mother called my parents and talked to my
mother. my mom said her mom talked very well and they are happy for my parents
to come and she her daughter.
this convinced that they are
interested in me, and she even said she will come to UK to see me.
she also said she had
Car(Verna) and drives very well
as she is a doctor she said
she is going for a medical camp to serve people in some Vizag area and asked me
if I can donate some money.
below is the email she sent
to me

I thought they are doing a
good thing so I have donated about Rs 10, 000
She sent some more images of
her family, pics of her 2 dogs. I also sent couple my family photos
Day 5:
In the morning, she pinged
me asking what is my shirt size so that when my parents come and visit their
parents can give it to my parents along with a silver plate and glass.
She also called me and we
spoke on the phone for hours. All of a sudden, when I was on my way to office
she called me and started crying, saying one of her friends took her car and
met an accident. The car hit a boy and the boy is in his death bed so to settle
the issue, she needed money.
She asked about 2.5 to 3
lakh from me. I had a doubt and I asked her why are you paying the money for
someone else's fault and she replied that the car is theirs and her mother
shouldn't know about it.
She said that her brother in
New Jersey can help but its night and western union is not open till morning.
She was crying, crying and I
resisted not to give the money but she kept on saying, I will give you once my
brother wakes up.
I know there was something
fishy going on but somewhere I had a soft corner. She asked me to send the
money to the same person and I donated the money too. I told her I will not
send the money to his account but if you give me yours or your mother's
account. Then she sent her sisters account.
Account details 20138573001,
SBI bank brodipet branch, ifsc code 11095
I sent her a message saying
I am trusting on you on this for which she replied. I have to be with you
throughout my life and cheating me is like cheating her own self.
I finally sent her Rs 1
lakh. Even then she said the money is not enough and persisted that she needs
more money and again started crying. I gave up at this point.
After an hour, to my
surprise, I did not hear from her. I sent her a message and no reply. I still
thought she must be busy with something, so waited
Day 6:
In the morning, I messaged
her asking if the problem was resolved, she did not reply. I kept on sending
the messages and to my disappointment, no reply. That is when I sensed that
they were fake and I felt I was betrayed(tears started rolling from my eyes for
this not because I lost the money but she betrayed my trust).
I went in to the Bharat
Matrimony and checked to see if her profile was still active but only to find
out the profile is suspended. I had rang the Bharat Matrimony customer services
and they said the profiled was not verified and it was fake and they suspended
it. This is very unfortunate that Bharat Matrimony did not inform me. People,
be careful when you send requests to free members.
I think they have stolen
someone's identity.
I don't care what people
think but I am only sharing this because I don't want any one else to be a
victim.
I have also uploaded the
transcript we chatted, read it and its interesting at times. please keep in
mind all that Seeing is believing.
I have made a formal
complaint against Bharat Matrimony that why did they not let me know that the
profile is fake and was suspended? There is no answer from them.
