Details of the Complaint:
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against a fraudulent website, https://sawariyadharamshala.org, which scammed me during my attempt to book accommodation for a religious trip to Khatoo Shyam Ji.
Incident Summary:
Date of Incident: 09/01/2025
Fraudulent Website: https://sawariyadharamshala.org
Contacted Number: +91 [protected]
Nature of Fraud:
Upon searching for a Dharamshala near Khatoo Shyam Ji, I came across the above website.
I contacted the phone number provided on the website, and the representative confirmed room availability. They insisted on an advance payment to secure the booking.
I was instructed to make an online payment via a provided QR code.
The QR code showed the name Sravan Store. When I inquired about this, they claimed it was due to exceeding their UPI booking limit.
Trusting their explanation, I made the full payment for the booking.
Post-payment, the representative switched off their phone, making them unreachable.
Payment Details:
Amount Paid: 2550
Payment Method: UPI QR Code
Recipient Name: Sravan Store

Cyber Crime Portal: I have registered the complaint on the Cyber Crime Portal (https://cybercrime.gov.in) and also contacted the Cyber Crime Helpline (1930).
Impact:
The fraudulent transaction not only caused financial loss but also disrupted our planned trip for religious purposes. It is distressing to know such scams are being conducted in the name of religion.
