Safety Tips

Your safety is our top priority at Matri Zone. Here are important safety guidelines to help you have a secure and positive experience while searching for your life partner.

1. Protect Your Personal Information

• Never share your home address, workplace address, or daily routine with someone you just met online
• Avoid sharing financial information, bank details, or OTP codes
• Use Matri Zone's messaging system initially instead of sharing personal phone numbers
• Be cautious about sharing photos that reveal identifiable locations
• Keep your email address and social media profiles private until you trust the person

2. Meet Safely

• Always meet in public places for the first few meetings
• Inform a trusted friend or family member about your meeting plans
• Share your location with someone you trust during the meeting
• Arrange your own transportation to and from the meeting place
• Meet during daytime hours when possible
• Trust your instincts - if something feels wrong, leave immediately

3. Verify Information

• Ask for verified profiles and check verification badges
• Request references from family or mutual acquaintances
• Verify educational and professional credentials through proper channels
• Look for inconsistencies in the information provided
• Consider conducting a background check for serious prospects
• Involve your family early in the process for additional verification

4. Watch for Warning Signs

Be cautious if someone:

• Asks for money or financial assistance
• Pressures you to move communication off the platform quickly
• Refuses to meet in person or always has excuses
• Provides inconsistent information about themselves
• Shows aggressive or controlling behavior
• Avoids involving family members in discussions
• Has multiple profiles on the platform
• Makes you feel uncomfortable or pressured

5. Financial Safety

• Never send money to someone you haven't met in person
• Be wary of sob stories or urgent financial requests
• Don't share your bank account, credit card, or OTP details
• Refuse requests for gifts, loans, or investment opportunities
• Be cautious of profiles claiming to be from abroad needing financial help

6. Online Communication Safety

• Don't click on suspicious links sent in messages
• Be cautious of requests to download unknown apps or software
• Avoid sharing intimate photos or videos that could be misused

• Arrange family meetings before making serious commitments
• Discuss important topics like expectations, lifestyle, and values openly
• Ensure both families meet and approve before finalizing arrangements

8. Trust Your Instincts

If something feels wrong or too good to be true, it probably is. Don't ignore red flags or rationalize concerning behavior. Take your time to get to know someone properly before making any commitments. It's better to be cautious than to rush into a decision you might regret.
