| Safety Tips |
|
DamaadBahu.com aims to provide you with a safe &
secure environment in which you search and find your life partner. Our Customer
Relations team ensures that every profile put up at DamaadBahu.com is screened
for irrelevant and/or inappropriate content. We also have strict
abuse-prevention and reporting systems for those that do get through our
screening systems. In fact, we were the first to obtain third party
certification such as TRUSTe (An objective third-party guarantee of your
privacy on Damaadbahu.com)
However, in ensuring your safety & privacy, we're
limited to actions that are within our control. Therefore, it is necessary for
you to exercise some simple precautions for your privacy & for a safe and
secure experience. |
Here are some simple guidelines YOU can
follow to protect your privacy.
1. Guard your anonymity
Our system of anonymous contacting (expressing interest, accepting/declining),
and private messaging (Communicate section) is to ensure that your identity is
protected until YOU decide to reveal it.
Do
-
Remember that you are in control of your online
experience at all times. You can remain completely anonymous until YOU choose
not to.
Don't
-
Don't include your personal contact information like
name, email address, home address, telephone numbers, place of work or any
other identifying information in your initial messages.
-
Don't send contact information until your instincts
tell you that this is someone you can trust. It's okay to take your time
|
|
2. Start slow – Use emails
initially
Set up a separate email account for communicating. Trust your instincts and
start by sharing only your email address and communicating solely via email.
Do
-
Look for odd behavior or inconsistencies. Serious
people will respect your space and allow you to take your time.
-
Ask a friend to read the emails you receive - an
unbiased observer can spot warning signs you missed.
-
Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for
personal information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it.
Don't
-
Don't use signature lines in your emails that include
your phone numbers and addresses.
-
Don't use your regular or official email id for
communicating with a person you don't know well.

|
3. Chat on the phone
A phone call can reveal much about a person’s communication and social skills.
Consider your security and do not reveal your personal phone number to a
stranger.
Do
-
Use a pre paid mobile phone number or use local
telephone blocking techniques to prevent your phone number from appearing in
Caller ID. Only furnish your phone number when you feel completely comfortable
and have some background information on the other person.
-
If someone gives you a phone number with a strange
area code, check it out to make sure it's not a charge number before you make
the call.
|
|
4. Request
for a photo
A photo will give you a good idea of the person's appearance, which may prove
helpful in achieving a gut feeling.
Do
-
You can use the Photo Request option on
DamaadBahu.com. Since DamaadBahu.com offers free scanning & upload services
to its members, there’s no reason someone shouldn’t be able to provide you a
photo.
-
In fact, it’s best to view several images of someone
in various settings: casual, formal, indoor and outdoors. If all you hear are
excuses about why you can't see a photo, consider that he or she has something
to hide.
|
|
5. Meet when YOU are ready
The beauty of meeting online is that you can collect information gradually,
later choosing whether to pursue the relationship in the offline world. You
never are obligated to meet anyone. Go at your own pace!
Do
-
Remember that you are in control when it comes to
taking an online relationship offline.
-
Even if you decide to arrange a meeting, you always
have the right to change your mind. It’s possible that your decision to keep
the relationship at the anonymous level is based on a hunch that you can’t
logically explain. Trust yourself. Go with your instincts.

|
6.
Beware of money scams
Watch out for money scams. There are just too many con artists and scam artists
around the world, and they are everywere.
Do
-
Be wary of those who try to ask money from you for
whatever reason. But it would be safer to cut off the communication. Remember a
genuine person will not ask you for money in any circumstance. If someone asks
you for money, use common sense and never give in to such requests
-
In case someone asks you for money report the
situation to us.
Don't
-
Take all the time you need to decide on a trustworthy
person and pay careful attention along the way. Be responsible about romance,
and don’t fall for the oldest con tricks of people who shower love and
affection at the first instance and disappear later. Don’t become prematurely
close to someone, even if that intimacy only occurs online.
Using your own good judgment is your best bet because
ultimately you are responsible for your personal experience. Trust your
instincts and then move ahead with the right person!
If you do have an unpleasant experience you can always report it to the
authorities. |

7.
Watch for warning signs
Watching for warning signs and acting upon it is the surest way to avoid an
uncomfortable situation.
Do
-
Ask a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies.
This will help you detect liars & cons, and it will help you find out if
you're compatible.
-
Pay attention to displays of anger, intense
frustration or attempts to pressure or control you. Acting in a resentful
manner, making demeaning or disrespectful comments, or any physically
inappropriate behavior are all warning signs.
-
Involve your family or your close friends in your
search for a life partner and do not take a decision unilaterally.
Don't
-
Don't ignore the following behavior specially if it
is without an acceptable explanation:
-
Provides inconsistent information about age,
interests, appearance, marital status, profession, employment, etc.
-
Fails to provide direct answers to direct questions
-
Appears significantly different in person from his or
her online persona
-
Never introduces you to friends, professional
associates or family members
