We have filed FIR against the concerned portal, IRCTC said in an email.
The
Indian
Railway’s ticketing portal has filed a complaint against a fake
website selling tourism packages in its name and even has a copycat
digital assistant.
The
Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has warned
the website (www.irctctour.com) is duping people with fraudulent
transactions.
"The
tourism portal is the website of IRCTC where the various tour
packages and services of IRCTC are displayed," says the fake
website, which copies the design and features of the genuine portal.
IRCTC
sent an email to its registered users and even had put up a message
on its portal about the fake website.
irctctour.com
IRCTC
is the only entity authorised by the Indian Railways to provide
online railway tickets, catering services to railways and packaged
drinking water at railway stations and in trains. It is the world's
second-busiest and highest of 1.5 million to 1.6 million tickets
every day.
Meanwhile, IRCTC Tourism offers tour facilities to over
1.05 million persons annually. The various tourism business segments
of IRCTC include luxury train tours, Bharat darshan special tourist
trains, rail tour packages, international and domestic air packages,
land tour packages, hotel booking, etc. Its official portal is
irctctourism.com.
Earlier,
IRCTC warned its customers not to disclose any confidential
information related to their account number, ATM card, PIN, TPIN, UPI
details over phone or through e-mails. It notified users that
attempts were being made to fraudulently withdraw money from their
accounts. IRCTC also said that it never makes phone calls, sends
e-mails/SMS asking customers to give their personal or security
information for refunds, TDR or in any other case.
