The Corbett Tiger Reserve authorities are preparing to take action against fraudulent websites which allegedly dupe people into making online bookings in Corbett. People make bookings through such websites and make digital payments, only to learn later that they had been defrauded. The Corbett authorities have identified such websites and are preparing to take legal action against them. The address of the authentic website of the tiger reserve is http://corbettgov.in. This website enables visitors to make online bookings. However, some fraudulent websites are also offering the same service in order to defraud the public. Among other actions, such websites cause a single permit to be issued to two tourists. The Corbett administration formed a team to identify such websites. The members of this team posed as tourists and called on the mobile phone numbers provided on the portals. A number of such fraudulent websites have been identified by the team. Corbett field director Saket Badola said that they had been receiving information about such fraudulent websites for quite some time. Notices will first be issued to such websites. If these fraudulent websites are not shut down soon, legal action will be initiated, he added.
