Where “free rishta” goes wrong.
Free rishta offers on WhatsApp groups, Facebook pages and unfamiliar websites sometimes ask for a fee to “unlock” a contact number, an advance for a meeting or money for a visa. Real families do not need to pay a stranger to see a photo. Never send money to someone you have not met, and do not share your CNIC, passport or bank details.
