[Resolved]  Bharat Matrimony — Fraud & money extracting profiles + similar phone calls from company

COMPLAINT NUMBER 1 -

We received an accept on BHARAT MATRIMONY of profile id H9389629 with Name ABHISHEK SHARMW on the 15th of January and got connected on call next day. It was requested that the boy wanted to talk directly with the prospective girl to which we accepted.

Right after talking for 3 days this boy made it clear that it was a yes from his side and was ready to get married soon. So, as it was a yes from both sides & we were about to take things forward, but this boy demanded 30000INR from us in the name of his mother's urgent heart operation. Firstly, we resisted knowing that they were strangers but post assurance from his father DK SHARMA, we sent the initial amount through GOOGLEPAY as it was requested from their side to not send money via online banking or any other medium as this no. is only supported through GOOGLEPAY. It showed that the no. was connected to HSBC BANK where this boy is working as Assistant Vice President HR MUMBAI BANDRA OFFICE. Post this amount, we were literally forced to pay another subsequent amounts of Rs.30000, Rs. 20000, Rs.25000, Rs. 20000 making it a whooping total of Rs. 1, 25, 000 Lacs in a span of 5 days.

Post these demands, their attitude (especially the boy because by now his father had stopped receiving our calls) towards us changed drastically i.e. not receiving calls or any messages, not connecting to our family and relatives. On 27th of January, the boy demanded for another amount of Rs. 12000 refusing which he requested for atleast Rs.5000/6000 urgently. This time his demand was rejected by us. After this, there was no communication from his side regarding return of our money or his mother's health or his take on marriage. It seems as though the boy just disappeared into thin air.

This type of fraudulent, tricking & trecherous behaviour is devastating for innocent people who are seeking an alliance for their children through such platforms. We want to file a complaint against this BHARAT MATRIMONY profile id so that other innocents will be saved in future by such deception .We also need an answer as to whether our money would be returned by any means after facing this type of cyber crime.

I would like to give details of this person alongwith with attachments -

COMPLAINT NUMBER 2 -

This complaint is regarding fraud calls from BHARAT MATRIMONY. We are receiving calls with respect to renewal of membership plus these calls are not from authenticated numbers, spam calls to be specific. This issue needs to be highlighted as it has been going on since two months. The people on call pretend to be nice and helping by offering renewal of membership (by asking bank details) but as soon as they are asked about queries or help regarding fraud profiles, they hang up.

We need a permanent solution to these phone calls .

Kindly help us with our problems as soon as possible. Attachments are available below

Hi Team,

Thanks for the assistance.
But for your information the person Abhishek Sharma has created a new Id H9496677 to target new and innocent people. Fortunately we came across this profile and it seems to be verified.
What is the verification check you guys have applied as the suspended member has created a new profile?
We are extremely disappointed with your services, just promoting profiles of criminals without any verification. If this continues, your organization will have to face bad consequences because of such people. Pathetic!!!

Hello Guys
We found also a fake profile of Abhishek who made a copy profile of same name and position used by someone which is realy exist the name of Abhishek Sharma working with RBS Bank i already informed and with the same with Real Abhishek Sharma.
Who is really VP HR in RBS Bank i met him personally in mumbai.
He claimed against him in consumer hoping will take an action against him.
Deepika's's reply, Jul 12, 2022
He has been caught in Bangalore
Came to me for meeting was plan to nab.
Need your detail for further help for money purpose to be returned back
Share here
Thanks
Hey krati, thank you for writing this. This person is now on Jeevan sathi platform. And now in touch with me.

Suggest what to do with him ? Could you plz share his contact no ?
His new profile Id is H9954641

This person has again created a new id H10554255, as ABHISHEK SHARMA.

His new details are:
Abhishek Sharma, VP HR, RBS, Mumbai
College- Amity University, Noida and MBA from IIM AHMEDABAD
He owns an apartment in wadala, mumbai (didn't provide apartment name though)
Father name- Shubham Sharma, AGM, PnB bank. Retired in 2018
His sister is doing MD in gynaecology in BOMBAY hospital

he too asked to talk with prospective girl, too which we agreed. And after talking 2days, he agreed to meet. When I said I am working from home and for sometime staying in my hometown, he agreed to fly to my home state alongwith his parents to meet my family. His father too talked to my family.
I decided to do some basic checks. He didn't have linkedIn profile. When we asked him, he said he has and will send us the link but that link never came. Also, on searching more, we found this complaint by krati, which was a saviour.
So later, after a day, when I asked his office address details and home address, he didn't reply to my message or call back. Nor did his father pick up our call.

@bharatmatrimony should take strong action about such repeated fraud behaviour. If not for this post by krati, we too would have landed in similar fraud case.

Attaching his current profile pic

Thanks guys this helped me as well in identifying this fraud, same id h10554255. His profile was unavailable on Linkedin which troubled me and finally i saw this online and confronted him. He immediately disconnected and blocked his profile. This is almost 5th-6th fraud profile I encountered on BharatMatrimony. Something immensely troublesome

Dear All,
We also encountered him. Thank you to all of you for reporting it. I also raised a fresh complaint
https://www.consumercomplaints.in/bharat-matrimony-fake-profile-abhishek-sharma-...

He also created a fake LinkedIn profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharma-abhishek-78a327237
which by just looking at feels fake. No batchmates are the connection, being HR few connections, no one from RBS or IIM AHMEDABAD supports his activities.
I reported his LinkedIn profile as fake.
Please join to save others in falling prey to this guy.
Regards,
Amit

RajeshJha45's reply, Sep 13, 2022
This is His Instagram account if any one cares to actually look into it

https://instagram.com/somanshugaur?igshid=NDRkN2NkYzU=

And what are all these stories of him getting caught? Under which jurisdiction is he presently? Was he caught under FIR or cyber complaint? Do you even know who he is or who was he impersonating?
I for one would be more than happy to see a clipping of this news, so please care to attach a screenshot of the same along with such information. Because I’ve failed to see any mentions of him impersonating someone or who this guy is, in this entire thread of conversation.

I’ve linked his or the guy he’s impersonating profiles above, for anyone interested.
This guy sent me request last month.. initially I dint pay much interest.. later one day I went through his profile and the profile looked interesting.. my relationship manager accepted the profile and it was in shortlisted list also I noted down his phone no.. on[protected] I couldn’t find his profile in the shortlisted list, so I tried reaching on his no, he did not answer my call. Later on he called me back and I asked him that he has sent me request but I don’t get to see his profile.. I felt may be his marriage got fixed.. but he said no it’s not yet his profile got deleted by mistake. Then the conversation went for more than an hour, he made me feel so positive with his talks. Asked my pictures and bio data and what I do. I said I acted in south film industry he looked interested and to confirm he asked me the link of my works I have done. I Sent them across and he was so badly interested to take this forward. As he found me very beautiful according to him. Then next entire day he was totally vanished even the other day.. i tried reaching him many times, because it was Sunday and according to him it’s his off on Saturday and Sunday’s.. he called back after 2 days and he said his friend stomach was aching so he was with her all 2 days. I felt very strange. Because he never used to answer my calls or texts.. he used to call back according to him.. I dint feel good about it.. one night he called me around 1:30 am and I could hear some female voice when I questioned him he got really angry and shouted at me saying that I am doubting his character and told me that he wants to hold this match now and hung the call on my face.. he was vanished for 5 days.. one day after 5 days he called Back and said sorry for his behaviour that he shouldn’t have reacted so much. And said I really like you and my family also loved your pictures we want to finalise everything asap. Then he used to call and talk for hours and hurrying me to take this forward and marriage asap.. he spoke to my mother my entire family was involved in this and everyone was dreaming for his visit to treat him like a proper son, my mom was more hurt because she prepared everything for his visit he used to call me wife, love, jaan, Shona, bacha he behaved liked a dream soulmate that any girl will dream of and also used to try talking vulgar things like a couple does, I warned him not to flirt with me as we don’t know each other yet & and any such topics would be discussed only after marriage and plz come to my home and meet my family then will decide.. he was so in hurry to come but thank god, shraadh dates started we don’t start any auspicious things during shraadh dates as we strictly follow Brahmin traditions. so I kept his visit to hyderabad on hold till 25th and I told him to come on 29th of this month September 2022.. when I was checking his flight timings he got angry he said you don’t book anything I get discount from office I’ll take care.. because obviously that is not his real name so he was worried he thought I may book.. 2 days back when he said it’s just a week left now to see you I asked did you book your ticket ? He said yes so I asked him his flight timings he said 10:15 flight from mumbai to hyderabad.. I said I’ll come to airport to pick him, he strictly said No. he said I don’t want to trouble you I’ll take cab.. you come to drop me if you want.. and told me to keep yourself free for next 4 days as I’ll be with you so please if you have your shoot dates finish them before I come and I really planned few good places and kept myself free for those dates.. he said first I’ll meet you then will go to your house and meet my family.. his pure plan was to NAB me.. luckily I was saved by god’s grace. yesterday on[protected] he told me that his mother needs some money but his credit limit is exceeded and can’t do any transaction for next 24 hrs so he asked me to transfer 20000 and he would pay me back the next day.. here I felt something weird.. the bio data he sent of his family looked very rich with great packages why would he ask me 20k I responded him according to numerology my calendar date on 21st is not good so I don’t make any transactions on bad dates as I follow numerology then he said no problem jaan you do it next day morning.. then again I felt something fishy, when he said he will get back his credit limit back in next 24 hrs then why is he still asking me to do and also the flight timing which he told me I went and cross checked, there was no such flight on[protected] from mumbai to hyderabad at 10:15am I was getting more doubtful. I told my mom and brothers this thing about he asking me to transfer some money without even video calling or seeing in person I was not at all ok with it.. then my both brothers googled about the frauds in Bharat matrimony on Abhishek Sharma’s name and to our shock we came across the cheat and fraud happened with krati and Deepika i felt so bad for them and other innocent girls and there families.. it was huge shock to me and my family and the name the picture and address everything matched same.. he played with my entire family.. he wasted purely 1 month of mine. Thank god and thanks to karti and Deepika who raised complaint against him here or else we would never got to know about his evil plans to nab me and snatch off everything from me in the sake of love and marriage.. he keeps creating new profiles plz take some strong action against this fraud and save time and feelings of innocent girls.. attaching few chats of his

Dear Customer,

Greetings from Matrimony!

We are in the receipt to resolve your issue. We request you to share your contact number to assist you further.
Hi
I too have received interest from this profile on Jeevansathi now his name is Abhisek Shrivastava
We talked only for 2-3 days and he got the idea that I am not getting ready tk take anything so quick do marriage was not even a question
He was too good to be real and that was bothering me too much
On 3rd day he said he will come tk meet me in 4-5 days booking his tickets nd hotel on which is said No because it’s too early but he insisted and I said fine your call
And he kind of got the idea I am not getting in the trap he tried sending his pics with Mercedes on which I did not gave any reaction too
So at last on 5th day he asked me for 20k urgent as his limit is over fir the day on which I directly said No
He just said ok and after that no call no mes
I informed my parents my brother about it and my brother checked on google and found all this
Thanks everyone
I reached out to Jeevansathi too as a responsible citizen but they were not very proactive about it, i messaged the person apparently whose pictures are being used to be aware about it
Hope whoever he is he gets arrested
