点评:FRAUD ALERT: Fake Booking Scam for Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan, Omkareshwar
I recently encountered a sophisticated scam while trying to book accommodation for the Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan in Omkareshwar. I am sharing this to ensure no one else falls victim to these fraudsters operating under the name of Mahadev.
How the Scam Works:
The Contact: After searching for accommodation online, I found a WhatsApp number (8571027645).
The Pitch: A person called back, acting very professional. They asked for family details, offered AC/Non-AC options, requested ID proofs, and claimed all meals were included.
The Pressure: Once the "booking" started, the person became aggressive, calling repeatedly on WhatsApp to prevent me from thinking or verifying the details.
The Red Flag: They sent a QR code for payment, but the name on the account appeared as "Kiran Kirana" rather than the official Trust name.
Crucial Facts to Remember:
No Online Booking: Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan (Omkareshwar) does not offer online or advance bookings. Rooms are only provided on a first-come, first-served basis upon physical arrival at very nominal rates.
Verify via Video: Always watch recent YouTube travel vlogs of a location before visiting; they often provide the most current "ground reality" regarding booking procedures.
Use Trusted Platforms: For other hotels, only use reputable apps like MakeMyTrip or Goibibo, and be wary of anyone demanding full payment via a personal UPI QR code.
I am grateful that I sensed the danger and blocked the number before making any payment. Please stay vigilant and spread the word to protect fellow devotees.
翻译:诈骗警示:奥姆卡雷什瓦尔加贾南·马哈拉杰·桑斯坦(Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan)虚假预订骗局
我最近在尝试预订奥姆卡雷什瓦尔加贾南·马哈拉杰·桑斯坦(Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan)的住宿时,遭遇了一场精心设计的骗局。我分享此事,是为了防止其他人上当受骗,落入这些以马哈德夫(Mahadev)之名行骗的骗子手中。
骗局运作方式:
联系方式:我在网上搜索住宿后,找到了一个WhatsApp号码(8571027645)。
推销:对方回电,表现得非常专业。他们询问家庭成员信息,提供空调/非空调房型选择,要求提供身份证明,并声称包含所有餐食。
施压:一旦“预订”开始,对方就变得咄咄逼人,反复通过WhatsApp联系我,阻止我思考或核实信息。
疑点:他们发送了一个付款二维码,但账户名称显示为“Kiran Kirana”,而不是官方的信托机构名称。
重要提示:
不接受在线预订:加贾南·马哈拉吉圣地(奥姆卡雷什瓦尔)不提供在线或提前预订服务。房间仅以先到先得的方式提供,价格非常优惠。
观看视频核实:出行前务必观看目的地最新的YouTube旅行视频博客;这些视频通常能提供关于预订流程的最新“实际情况”。
使用可信赖的平台:预订其他酒店时,请仅使用信誉良好的应用程序,例如MakeMyTrip或Goibibo,并警惕任何要求通过个人UPI二维码支付全款的人。
我很庆幸自己察觉到了危险,并在付款前屏蔽了对方号码。请大家保持警惕,并将此信息告知其他信徒,以保护他们的安全。
