Once the scammer makes a contact with the ‘target’ on matrimonial platform like Shaadi.com, Jeevansathi.com, Matrimony.com, the acquaintance is taken forward on other social media platforms, such as Facebook. Fake accounts are pre-created on multiple social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. to match their corresponding dating profiles on matrimonial websites.
Having gained the trust of the target, the scammer demands money under the pretext of paying medical bills of a sick parent or on promises of marriage etc. But as soon as the transactions are made, the impostor disappears and becomes untraceable.
