Stay safe while looking for a rishta
Take your time. You can end a conversation whenever you feel uncomfortable.
- Do not send money to someone you meet through Hamsar, including for travel, an emergency or visa paperwork.
- Keep your CNIC, passport, banking details, passwords and verification codes private. Do not share them in a rishta chat.
- Keep early conversations on Hamsar. Use Report for a fake profile, harassment or a money request. Use Block to stop contact with that person.
- Check the type of verification shown. Email verification confirms access to an email address; it does not confirm someone’s identity or intentions. Paid membership is not an identity check.
- Involve someone you trust when you are ready. For an in-person meeting, choose a public place and tell a trusted person where you are going.
- Share photos only when you are comfortable. Someone who can see a clear photo may be able to save or copy it.
