Odisha Police issues warning on hotel booking scams ahead of Ratha Yatra on Friday
A previous Jagannath Rath Yatra. Image: IANS ODISHA Police have alerted tourists against the rising hotel booking scams ahead of the famous Jagannath Ratha Yatra, which is set to commence on Friday. 'Hotel booking scams are rising in Odisha, especially in places like Puri, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, etc. Fraudsters create fake websites and social media pages that look genuine, offering cheap rates, urgent deals, and guaranteed bookings. They demand full payment via UPI, wallets, or bank transfer and use fake customer care numbers and receipts. Many of these fake sites appear at the top of Google search results, making them hard to identify,' informed the Odisha Crime Branch in an official statement today. The victims often realise they have been cheated by cyber fraudsters only after reaching their destinations. The Odisha Police further stated that several complaints have been received through the Cyber Crime Helpline 1930, along with alerts from government bodies, hotel owners, and the general public regarding fake websites offering fraudulent hotel deals.

Tourists and devotees have been advised to book hotels only through verified platforms or official tourism websites, cross-check the hotel's contact number and address using Google Maps. People have also been asked to confirm the booking by calling the hotel directly, avoid making full advance payments, pay partially if possible and use secure payment gateways instead of direct UPI or wallet transfers. Police have urged visitors to always ask for a proper booking confirmation via SMS or email with a valid booking ID or invoice and remain cautious of unrealistically low-priced deals, especially near Puri during the Ratha Yatra. They have also asked people to read recent reviews and ratings on trusted platforms before booking.
