For Members new to Internet/matrimonial these tips can be used as a rough guide. It is still necessary to exercise some simple precautions for personal privacy and safety.
Following are some guidelines YOU can follow to protect your privacy:

• Do not provide personal information until you verify details of people you interact with.
• Beware of Money seeking scams. Avoid wire transfer of money
• Do not be pressurized to divulge financial information
• Cross check information about people, watch for inconsistencies.
• Exercise your judgment as ultimately, you are responsible for your actions.
• Please report any suspicious emails or activities to info@ivichola.com

With any online dating and matrimonial listing service, anonymity (confidentiality of identity) is necessary. Just think about it. Would you ever give out your phone number or address to strangers walking on the street? Certainly not. Then, is it wise to reveal your contact information to the millions of strangers surfing the web?
Look out for inconsistencies
Once you start communicating via email and chat, take care to notice odd behavior or inconsistencies. If someone is evasive, and not consistent with his/her statements then there is a good chance that the person is either not serious or just fooling around.
People can sometimes exaggerate or blow up their profiles to create good impressions. It is necessary to weed out such profiles from the truly genuine ones. Keep in mind that while some people do fake their profiles, most others are simply genuine singles looking for a compatible life partner, much like your self.

A photograph adds a face to the Profile you are getting to know. In most cases, a photograph does help you to picture the person you are communicating with. Additionally, it immediately allows you to judge the truthfulness of a person's physical description about himself / herself as mentioned in his/her profile.
Phone Conversation
A phone call can reveal a lot about a person's communication and social skills. Thus, it is worth to call up someone you are trying to know. This step should be taken after you are thoroughly satisfied with online conversation (email, chat) with the person and want to go a step ahead.
Do not give out your own/work phone number to the person you are calling up for the first time. It takes time to develop trust. Only once you have gained sufficient information to satisfy yourself that you are definitely interested in the person, should you furnish your phone number.
Also, call unexpectedly once in a while. The response you get from the other person can be very informative.

Meeting a potential match is a big step and you should agree to a meeting only when you are completely ready and not under pressure from another person. When you decide to meet the person, proceed with caution. You may consider following safety tips.
Bring along a family member, relative or close friend to the first meeting. If things go well, you can meet again a second time and get to know each other better. This way, you will also get a second opinion on your choice.

If you are meeting alone (for the subsequent/following meetings), always tell someone you trust where you are going and when you will return. Leave the person's full name and telephone numbers with that person.
Always meet in a public place that you are familiar with
For the first meeting, being in a place you are familiar with (a favorite Coffee Shop), will make you comfortable and also reduce the awkwardness of first meetings.
Take your own transport and meet the person at a pre-determined destination.
Consider everything that this person has told you previously (online/phone) about him or herself. If you find out that your date has lied about anything, then perhaps you need to reconsider this match.
All things said, it is up to you to find out the Life Partner of Your Dreams safely through lvichola.com and always "listen to your mind in matters of your heart".
