Dupe season continues with an Andheri family being conned after they booked a chopper ride to a temple in Katra in Jammu and Kashmir. In a report in this paper, a fake website had been created in the name of the Shrine Board.

A family of six paid Rs 20,000 for the yatra. An internet search led the family to a website citing helicopter bookings. The person to contact via phone listed on the website sounded authentic with all information at hand and even sent booking details. Yet, when the family asked for the tickets, they found that the number through which they were communicating was blocked. The authentic shrine board was then contacted and when asked if this particular number on the internet was the board’s number, they learnt it was fake. A police complaint has been registered.
