As per the complaint given by devotee Urvashi a few days ago, while searching for accommodation through Google, she contacted the mobile number 8062180322 given on the website Srinivasam Rest Houses, and a man named Abhimanyu introduced himself with false information that he was from the reception at Srinivasam Complex.
He charged a certain amount of money to the devotee to provide accommodation and promised to send the accommodation ticket in PDF format if the money was paid.
After taking the money, the accused cheated her by not responding to her phone calls and WhatsApp messages.
Realising that she had been cheated by a fake website, the devotee filed a complaint at the 1930 Crime Helpline and the police station.
Recently, there have been increasing incidents of deceiving devotees through fake websites in the name of TTD services.
In this context, TTD advises the devotees to be vigilant. If devotees are lured by suspicious people and brokers, TTD has advised devotees to first call the TTD Vigilance Department on 0877 – 2263828 and clear their doubts. In the case of any scam in the name of fake darshan tickets and accommodation, the details of the fraudulent people and brokers should be immediately brought to the attention of TTD Vigilance.
TTD has advised devotees to book tickets for Srivari Darshan and accommodation only online through the official website https://ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in or the ttdevasthanams mobile app based on their Aadhaar card and not to get cheated by middlemen. Contact TTD toll-free number 155257 for other details.
