What is the "Fake Angkor Wat Ticket Booking Websites" scam in Siem Reap?

Question

Accepted Answer

Counterfeit websites impersonating the official Angkor Wat ticket portal (angkorwatticket.com) charge full price or more for Angkor passes then issue forged entry documents that are rejected at the checkpoint. Fraudulent sites rank in search results using paid advertising and closely mimic the official Angkor Enterprise branding and colour scheme. Some harvest payment card details without issuing any ticket at all. Purchase Angkor passes only at the official Angkor Enterprise ticket centre on the road to Angkor, or via the verified angkorwatticket.com domain. Verify the URL before entering card details. Passes are not sold by third-party tour operators, hotels, or travel agencies — only at the official booth or online portal.
