Security Tips
Devangar Thirumanam aims to provide you with a safe & secure environment in which you search and find your life partner. Our Customer Relations team ensures that every profile put up at Devangar Thirumanam is screened for irrelevant and/or inappropriate content.
Start slow - Use Messages Initially
Follow: Set up a separate email account for communicating. Trust your instincts and start by sharing only your email address. Look for odd behavior or inconsistencies. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal information.
Don't Follow: Don't use your regular or official email id for communicating with a person you don't know well.
Request for a Photo
Follow: A photo will give you a good idea of the person's appearance. You can use the Photo Request option on Devangar Thirumanam. It's best to view several images of someone in various settings: casual, formal, indoors, and outdoors.
Chat on the Phone
Follow: A phone call can reveal much about a person's communication and social skills. Use a pre-paid mobile phone number or use local telephone blocking techniques to prevent your phone number from appearing in Caller ID.
Meet when you are ready
Follow: You do not have any obligation to meet anyone. Go at your own pace! Remember that you are in control. Even if you decide to arrange a meeting, you always have the right to change your mind. Trust yourself. Go with your instincts.
Meet in a Safe Place
Follow: When you decide to meet the person face to face for the first time, choose a public place (such as a restaurant/cafe). Always tell a friend or your family where you are going and when you will return. Take a friend or relative along. Leave the name, address, and telephone number of the person you are going to meet with your friend or family member.
Don't Follow: Never arrange for your prospective match to pick you up or drop you at home. Do not go to a secluded place or a movie alone at the first meeting.
Watch for Warning Signs
Follow: Ask a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies in replies. Pay attention to displays of anger, intense frustration, or attempts to pressure or control you. Involve your family or your close friends in your search for a life partner.
Don't Follow: Don't ignore behavior such as: Provides inconsistent information, Fails to provide direct answers, Appears significantly different in person, Never introduces you to friends or family members.
Beware of Money Scams
Follow: Be wary of those who try to ask for money from you for whatever reason. Remember a genuine person will not ask you for money in any circumstance. If someone asks you for money, report the situation to us immediately.
Don't Follow: Don't fall for con tricks of people who shower love and affection at the first instance and disappear later. Don't become prematurely close to someone, even if that intimacy only occurs online.
