Avoiding Cheap Umrah Scams, Police: People do not be tempted easily

CIDISS. Head of Police Public Relations Division Inspector General Pol Setyo Wasisto appealed to the community not to be lulled by the offer of cheap umrah fees.

In Jakarta, Inspector General Setyo said, we remind the whole community if there is an offer that is roughly unreasonable, do not participate. Because the umrah fare is not possible to be cheap because in terms of costs such as airfare and living expenses during Umrah prayer is expensive.

He said, so if offered cheaply, we should be skeptical, then fit there (Mecca) maybe the facility does not match the promise, there will be problems.

After the case of fraud and money laundering of Umrah PT First Anugerah Karya Wisata (First Travel), it was revealed again a similar case involving Umrah travel agency PT Solusi Balad Lumampah (SBL) in West Java.

He said, the case of SBL working Polda Jabar, still being explored. In the case of SBL, the sexiest police in the case of fraud and money laundering harm the pilgrims and umrah to Rp 300 billion.

Umrah and pilgrim travel system implemented by PT SBL is a money game system. For Umrah and Hajj trips plus, this trip costs Rp18 million to Rp23 million.

There are still many stories of pilgrims failing to leave the umrah in wearing the mischief of the travel bureau travel umrah (umrah naughty trip), so be careful not to be fooled travel umrah bureau and false pilgrimage is very important. Beware of travel agents that can dispatch pilgrims at a very cheap cost even very cheap when compared with similar travel agencies that are around us.
