What is the "Travel Agent Fraud" scam in Chennai?

Question

Accepted Answer

Some small travel agents near Parry's Corner and around tourist hotels sell fake or unconfirmed tour packages — Kashmir treks, Ooty packages, or flight tickets — collect full payment upfront, and cannot be reached when the travel date arrives. This has resulted in losses of lakhs of rupees for some victims. Book tours and flights only through well-established agencies or directly with the airline and hotel. Always verify an agency's license, physical address, and online reviews before paying anything. Pay by card for chargeback protection. Never pay cash only to a one-person travel desk.
