Users on matrimonial sites get a notification every time there is a new user, and they accordingly start stalking or gathering information about the subject. Pre-matrimonial verification agency, ShaadiVerify.com, has revealed following an independent survey that three per cent of the cases it investigated have all been potential matrimonial scams. However, fearing disrepute, less than 10 per cent of the victims registered the cases with the police for further action. Furthermore, eight of 10 cases it received for background verification proved to have some inconsistencies with their online profiles. When the right opportunity arises, they begin extortion, and flee having extorted anywhere between Rs 10,000 and Rs 70 lakh," said a cyber crime officer..
