๐ PSA: Be Careful While Booking Hotels Online! ๐จ
Just read a shocking story where a woman trying to book a hotel got scammed of โน93,600 โ all because of a fake Google listing. ๐ 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. ๐ฃ
๐น The scammers had put up fake contact numbers on Google. ๐น They gained her trust through WhatsApp messages and calls. ๐น She ended up losing nearly a lakh while believing she was just booking a stay.
Moral of the story? โ Always double-check hotel contact info through official websites. โ Avoid sharing OTPs or payment links you didnโt initiate. โ Stay cautious โ no hotel will ask for sensitive bank info for bookings!
Let's not let scammers ruin our travel plans. ๐ซ Stay smart, stay safe, and spread the word! โ๏ธโจ
