[Resolved]  Shaadi.com — FRAUD and SCAMSTERS and FAKE PROFILES

Address:Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Shaadi.com has new profiles of men EVERYDAY - who target women, romance them, then ask for money! This is a huge racket going on - it is time to bust it! There are atleast a dozen profiles of men who are do not even exist - with photos of god knows which unsuspecting men. THERE ARE INVOLVED IN ENCOURAGING PEOPLE and ABETTING IDENTITY THEFT. It is time the website was shut down...in particular, profiles with names such as Sharad Kurma, Raj Kurma, Kurma Raj, Trevor Greco, Derick Robert...and what not...all are put up by the same group of people. I got smart and caught the fraudster who sent me photos of some poor individual with his child - definitely not anyone called SHARAD KURMA - and asked me for money this morning giving me some long story about getting caught or something in Bangkok!

REMOVE YOUR PROFILE AND MEMBERSHIP FROM SHAADI.COM - THEY ARE ENCOURAGING IDENTITY THEFT BY NOT MONITORING THERE WEBSITE AND PERHAPS NOT CARING THAT PEOPLE ARE PAYING THOUSANDS OF RUPEES BY WAY OF MEMBERSHIP FEES.

SHAME ON THEM! THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA SHOULD BAN THE SITE!

Yes this guy Sharad Raju is a veteran con artist, looks like this is what he does for a living..
Phone : +[protected] ; Email : [protected]@yahoo.com
He requests for financial help and this time his story was that his purse had gotten lost at the Bangkok airport and he was stranded there with his little girl..
The next day he calls up saying his child has fallen ill and is hospitalized and that the doctors were running several tests on her, the following day he calls stating that the child is serious & has gone into coma..
Gosh I really dont understand how a father could stoop down to such low levels just for money..
It reminds me of those beggars carrying their kids pleading for alms by the streets...in this case its begging in a sophesticated manner!!
Wish someone would get down to catching these guys and putting an end to this kind o[censored]nethical means of making money..

I totally agree with Arpitabhawal. I was also contacted and cheated by one Douglas Lewon who put up a false profile pretending to be an irish american from los angeles, writing love letters and making phone calls to me. it is a scam targetting vulnerable people and portraying a different picture from what they are. Supposed to be in construction business and asking money for construction work in UK using los angeles mobile number, uk mobile number which doesnt work and then on to nigerian network. seems to be some nigerian scamster who is making money. i checked the IP address and this man is going under the name of Mohd.Ghazali alias Emran Ahmed Kamal and he is using the Malaysian tm network from all parts of the world. SUCH A BIG SCAM, BEWARE.

In fact I was approached by so many American men on the shaadi.com website. All of them seem to be scamsters, looking for gullible vulnerable women to prey on. Beware of all such scams. IP address 110.159.155.219

WAKE UP INTERPOL, INDIA GOVERNMENT, FBI, CBI.
Friends,

Please report all fake / fraud profiles at the below post. We are not against online matrimonial sites, but we want to filter out unwanted people who are not serious for marriage or create account just for casual dating. By adding profile IDs to this list, we can come to know before buying premium membership whether our money will be worth or not. If the profile ID is present in this list, it means you should proceed with suspicion

This gang is still in exsistance and the number is[protected]. He tells his name as Sharad Raju, a civil engineer and architect from Houston . I came across his profile on matrimonails site (shaadi.com). His profile is also there on Simplymarry.com with another number[protected] and email iD: [protected]@att.net

Girls pls be carefull, he demanded money from me as well..Do I did not give a single penny. his accouts details are HDFC bank a/c [protected] name puneet kumar, branch connaught circus. ifsc code hdfc0001401 and PAN card cufpk2929b.

If FBI is aware of these people then kindly trace them and arrest.. Because they cheat innocent ladies/girls make them fall in love and then extract money.

Exactly. Please be careful!

THIS IS TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY RAJU SHARAD. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT end.to.[protected]@gmail.com . WE ARE FILING A REPORT AND NEED ALL AND ANY EVIDENCE SO THAT WE CAN GET JUSTICE FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN SCAMMED AND HAS BEEN HURT BY THIS FRAUDSTER!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS.

**** HE TELLS THIS SOB STORY THAT HIS DAUGHTER IS SICK AND NEEDS MONEY FOR HER SURGERY AND HOSPITALIZATION AND NOT HAVING FOOD. HE ALSO HAS A SOB STORY ABOUT HIS CREDIT CARDS ARE FROZEN DUE TO IDENTITY THEFT SO HE NEEDS MONEY. HE ALSO USES THE STORY OF HIM BEING STUCK IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY DUE TO HIS WORK CONTRACT NOT GOING THROUGH **** PLEASE BEAWARE OF THIS TYPE OF FRAUDSTER. NO REAL MAN USES HIS CHILD OR HIS JOB TO GET MONEY.

WE NEED AS MUCH EVIDENCE THAT WE CAN GET SO THAT WE CAN MAKE OUR CASE STRONGER. WE KNOW HE RESIDES SOMEWHERE IN HOUSTON TX. WE JUST NEED TO GET ENOUGH EVIDENCE SO THAT WE CAN GET THE PROPER AUTHORITY INVOLVED AND GET THIS GANG SHUT DOWN.

THANKS

Another scammer o n Shaadi.comgoes by the name Taj Wafeeq, Yasir Tareq, and Ben Vazi he contacted me. He came on strong but i was like whatever I'll with it. A lot of emails about how in love he is with me. They seemed scripted but it was fun and if he turned out real then good. He say his father dies in a car accident some time ago and his mother is all he has left. An that is how he plays u. At first he asked a lot of questions like he is trying to get to know you, but nvr answers your questions. He sends pictures and at first they seem real but its nvr spontaneous always posed. I asked for a pic of his car which he said was a Mercedes and the steering said Nissan that was my first clue.Last Friday he said he had to go to England for work and he will visit his mother. An once there he went on to tell me how his mother was afraid because she knows he has been hurt before and i may hurt him. He told her how good i was and now she likes me and we can be together. He is super charming and puts a lot of thought into what he says. I continued to talk to him, but with more doubt as he seemed to good to be true. There are some good guys out there so I thought just maybe this might be one. Well he isn't!!! The scam finally happened...he said his mother was sick had a fever. But didn't ask for anything till almost 2 days after his mother was sick. He said he needed 680 Pounds 1000 us$. Instinct clicked in and I told him no. He played hurt and I told him go to the NHS they good health care in England. He said he tried and i told him he makes 125K us$ he should have the money . He said his money tied up with work. I questioned why he cant us a credit card or get the money from friends. He had an excuse for all of it. Finally I thought i can get some information on him if I play along. By this time he told me his mother died and it is my fault. So after 4 days of sweet talking and apologizing to this scum scammer. I got him to trust me and believe i will send him money. This time he asked for 1600 us$ about 1072Pounds. I took a pic of me hold money and said i just came from the bank what should i do. He said to go to money gram and wire it to him. So I went home and sent him a fake confirmation He text me back he couldn't get the money the number was wrong. So i changed one number and apologized and ever wrote the number down and sent him a pic of the new number. He fell for it and made a second trip to the money gram store. he said that didn't work either and to get the money back and go to western union. He still didn't pick up that I was playing him. So I told him I went and gave him a fake confirmation number, but he wanted to see the slip so i took an old western union slip and just took a picture of the corner enough to see that it was a western union slip but not to see the number. He noticed that and i played stupid and told him to try and pick up the money He did and when he couldn't get the money he told me to call western union. When I told him i did i went on to say that it was flagged for a fraud transaction. He blamed it on his name and being Muslim. ( just disgusting) He said to send it under the hotel manager Ben Vazi (i am sure another name I am sure he goes by) So i made him wait till the next day. I said i was with family. He got annoyed, by this but at this point I didn't care. I got a actually western union for and filled it out. The next morning I sent it to him and said I was going to send the money. I filled it out with Ben's name same address 54 Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE UK. Added a new confirmation number and took a pic and sent to him. Again he fell for it and made his third trip to the store. He text me saying some stores were closed. After a few hours I got a text saying there there is no money. An i was insulting his intelligence. I said you have to have intelligence for me to do that. I asked him how it felt to be played after playing so many girls. He was a bit shocked and acted like he didn't know what I was talking about. I said don't act like you don't know what I mean you haven't mentioned your mom in two days. He said a sarcastic thank you and I can go now. I mentioned I know he went by Yasir T. and I'm already gone called him stupid and haven't heard from him since. I know this was a long story but I want everyone to know about him. Again his names are:Yasir TareqTaj WafeeqBen VaziHis address:54 Houghton StreetLondonWC2A 2AEUKandMadison Wisconsin phone number[protected]
in regards to the above

photos of Taj Wafeeeq aka Yasir Tareq aka Ben Vazi

at least he said they are of him

There's a Rahul Sharma from Singapore who scams people. He lives in USA, but is asking for money because his supplies in a warehouse in Istanbul burnt down and he has to go there to use his own money to repurchase supplies. He is very smooth and very manipulative in order to get money. He will solely use telegram to speak and has no socials. Claims to have a LinkedIn but cannot find him.
