Where to report matrimonial fraud

If a match has asked you for money, lied about who they are, or pressured you, you can report it. The right place depends on the country you live in. Official channels for India, the US, Canada, the UK and Australia are below.

Last checked 2 Nov 2026. Phone numbers and websites change, so confirm on the official site.

Do these first

Stop sending money, and stop sharing documents, OTPs and bank details.
Call your bank or payment provider straight away if you have sent money, and ask them to flag or block the transfer.
Save evidence: screenshots of the profile and chats, phone numbers, payment details and receipts.
Report it using the channels for your country below, and to your local police.
Tell us: use the Report option on the profile or in the chat so our team can review the account.
