🚨 MEGA ALERT: CHARDHAM YATRA 2026 – UTTARAKHAND CYBER POLICE
A warm welcome to the holy land of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand! 🙏 Your faith is our priority, and protecting your hard-earned money is our mission.
Joint Safety Advisory issued by:
⭐ Shri Nilesh Anand Bharne (IG Cyber&STF UTTARAKHAND)
⭐Shri Ajay Singh (SSP, Cyber & STF UTTARAKHAND)
⭐ Shri Kush Mishra (ASP, Cyber & STF UTTARAKHAND)
🕵️ THE BIG REVEAL: THE 'DIGITAL TRAP'
Fraudsters have created dozens of fake websites that look exactly like official portals of Pawan Hans and IRCTC. They use deceptive URLs like pawan-hans.in, heli-yatra.org, and chardham-yatra.net to steal your money!
🔍 THE 'ALPHABET TRAP:
Scammers make tiny changes to spellings that are hard to catch at a glance:
❌ The Number Trick: They replace the letter 'O' with the number '0' (Zero).
❌ The Spelling Game: They use a small 'l' (L) instead of 'i' or add an extra letter to create a clone website.
🛑 3 GOLDEN RULES FOR A SAFE JOURNEY
1️⃣ BEWARE OF GOOGLE ADS
Don't trust the first few links marked as 'Ad' or 'Sponsored' on Google. These are often paid scams by fraudsters to lure you.
2️⃣ NO PERSONAL PAYMENTS: No government agency or helicopter company will ever ask for money via a Personal UPI ID, QR Code, or a private bank account. They use Mule Accounts to hide their identity!
3️⃣ FAKE EMAIL IDS: If you receive a booking confirmation from a free email service like Gmail, Yahoo, or Rediffmail, it is 100% FRAUD. Official bookings always come from professional corporate domains.
"Fraudsters have decorated the digital world with 'Fake Booking Portals.' Your vigilance is the only shield that can make this journey safe and blissful."
