How it works
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.
