⚠️ Have You Been Scammed by a Fake Tourist Desk in Delhi? Tell Us Here

🚨 Why This Topic Matters:

Fake tourist desks—especially near New Delhi Railway Station, Connaught Place, or around Paharganj—target international and domestic travelers. These setups often pose as "Government Approved" or "Official Tourist Information Centres," offering overpriced taxis, fake bookings, or misleading tour packages.

✍️ Share Your Experience:

Help others by telling your story. Were you:

Misled by a fake “tourist help” booth?
Overcharged for a cab or “official tour”?
Taken to an unofficial hotel or travel agency?
Pressured into paying upfront with no refund?

Your real-life experiences can:

Warn fellow travelers
Expose scam hotspots
Push for authorities to take action

✅ Tips to Spot Fake Tourist Desks:

No government signage or GST number
Aggressive sales tactics
Promise of “cheap” hotels or VIP tours
Located outside stations or near parking areas
Asking for full advance payment in cash

🛡️ What You Can Do:

File a complaint on https://www.delhipolice.gov.in
Report on Google Reviews to warn others
Join communities like Fraud Alert Board – India Taxi Online
