🌐 PSA: Be Careful While Booking Hotels Online! 🚨
Just read a shocking story where a woman trying to book a hotel got scammed of ₹93,600 — all because of a fake Google listing. 😞 She thought she was talking to the hotel's staff, but it turned out to be fraudsters who tricked her into sharing OTPs and wiped her account clean. 😣
🔹 The scammers had put up fake contact numbers on Google. 🔹 They gained her trust through WhatsApp messages and calls. 🔹 She ended up losing nearly a lakh while believing she was just booking a stay.
Moral of the story? ✅ Always double-check hotel contact info through official websites. ✅ Avoid sharing OTPs or payment links you didn’t initiate. ✅ Stay cautious — no hotel will ask for sensitive bank info for bookings!
Let's not let scammers ruin our travel plans. 🚫 Stay smart, stay safe, and spread the word! ✈️✨
