Fraud and Scam Warning

 

MawaddahMatrimony.com specifically and emphatically warns members never to send money to anyone that they meet on the site. A very small number of profiles on this site (and most similar websites) may not be genuine and may be scammers that may manage to slip through our extensive filters and pose as people who they are not. The site has no way of determining the validity of any communication that you receive from another member or the validity of the person behind such communication. MawaddahMatrimony goes above and beyond all other websites to very closely monitor and eliminate any such scammers and online predators immediately. However, we cannot guarantee that we have eliminated every single one of them, and hence, we request our members to be cautious and vigilant against any suspicious behavior.

These scammers will typically pose as an attractive woman or man. They will initiate contact with other members, generally create an emotional bond with members, and at some point (perhaps a week or two later), they convey some form of emergency and consequently and urgently request money from the victim member that they are communicating with. The requested money could be in the form of a loan, assistance for food, assistance for medical treatment, assistance to cover travel expenses to visit that member or assistance to smuggle a fortune out of a particular country. The list is endless. In summary, we are warning our members to never send any money to anyone that they meet on this site for any reason whatsoever. We don’t want our members to become unhappy fraud victims. It is a clear violation of our website policy to solicit money from or to send money to any member on the site. It is the responsibility of each member to report to the site administrator at [email protected] any request made by another member for money or any correspondence received from another member involving a financial transaction.

 

MawaddahMatrimony.com is Held Harmless

 

You explicitly, expressly and completely agree that MawaddahMatrimony.com is held harmless by you and anyone else against any wrongdoing, damage, scam, misrepresentation, fraud, inappropriate contact, untruthfulness, trickery, or deceit perpetrated against you by any member that you meet on this site or on any of our affiliated sites, or that you meet through any links located on this site or any of our affiliated sites. You completely understand that the internet is fertile ground for scams and fraudulent schemes perpetrated by unscrupulous parties that have the ability to join this and other sites while keeping their true identity, motives and character undetected. You completely understand and fully agree that it is your responsibility and solely your responsibility to get to carefully know the person that you are communicating with. It is your responsibility and solely your responsibility to conduct all the necessary investigation of all people that you are in communication with and to verify the credibility of the information, claims and representations made to you by any other member that you meet through this site.

MawaddahMatrimony.com takes credit card fraud extremely seriously. Realization that any member has used a stolen or fraudulent credit card will result in the notification of the appropriate law enforcement agencies, and immediate locking/suspension/deletion of the member’s account.

 

Email System Terms of Use

 

MawaddahMatrimony.com provides to its members a proprietary email system with the latest communication technology available on the internet. Use of the MawaddahMatrimony.com email system is permitted for all “Full Access Members”.

The MawaddahMatrimony.com email system will not be used for inappropriate contact with other members. MawaddahMatrimony.com determines in its sole discretion what constitutes inappropriate contact, which includes but is not limited to:

Emails that include pornographic material, pictures, text, words and any other pornographic content, implied or explicit.

Emails promoting harmful or criminal thoughts, intent or action.

Emails containing or advocating any form of harassment, sexual or otherwise, racism, bigotry, violence, invasion of privacy, and any illegal or immoral acts.

Unsolicited mass mailings, junk mail, spam mail and chain letters.

Emails promoting or soliciting commercial activity including advertising and selling of any product or service, including joining or acquiring membership in any other website.

Limit on number of messages

 

MawaddahMatrimony.com imposes a limit on the daily number of messages that any member can send. This is to control spam and to ensure that no single member on the site can access an unreasonably large number of members with inappropriate messages or content in a short period of time. The current maximum number of daily email messages that any member can send is 20.

MawaddahMatrimony.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase or to decrease the number of daily permitted emails. Members are urged to review this section on a monthly basis to determine if any adjustments in the number of daily permitted emails have been made. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS POLICY OF A DAILY LIMIT ON NUMBER OF EMAILS PERMITTED, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP FOR MEMBERSHIP.

Violating the Email system Terms of Use, regardless of your membership status, will result in the immediate cancellation of your membership and the immediate deletion of your profile. No refunds will be issued to deleted members.

 

Unpredictability of Email reply Rate

 

Some members that you send an email message to may not respond to your email message. Although this can be quite frustrating, it could be due to a number of factors. The member you are trying to reach may be talking to other members and is not interested in speaking to someone else at this time. The member may also elect not to respond to you because they are not interested in your profile or they do not see a picture in your profile, or don’t find you a good match.

To improve your email reply success rate, it is important that you have a well written profile with good grammar. It is important that you upload a good presentable picture of yourself. It is also important that your email to the member be interesting, polite, informative and pleasant to read. Failure to do the above will almost certainly result in less than satisfactory email reply results.

It is important for you to note that just because a member sent you an email message, it does not guarantee that the member will answer your reply email message to them. This site is extremely active and people meet other people very quickly. Our best advice is for you to reply immediately to any email message that you receive before the sending member loses interest and /or moves on to the next member that interests them.
