Be Careful of Fake Taj Hotel Offers
There's a viral message being shared extensively on WhatsApp groups offering a free stay at Taj hotels. Watch our latest video to know whether it is true or not.
With the start of February, various offers started doing rounds in the name of Valentine's day offer. A message started circulating on various WhatsApp groups speaking about a free stay at Taj hotels.
The message says:
"I received a gift card from Taj Hotel and got a chance to stay in Taj for 7 days for free." As soon as you click the link, a message pops up that reads: "TAJ EXPERIENCES GIFT CARD TAJ Hotel sent out 200 gift cards to celebrate Valentine's Day. You can use this card to stay for 7 days at any hotel in TAJ for free. All you have to do is open the correct gift box. You have 3 tries, good luck!" When one presses the OK button, the page redirects to a short questionnaire. Once answered, the page will redirect to a new one with 12 red boxes with Tata logo on it. The player must then click on any random box and try its luck to see if they have won the gift card. However, this is a scam.
The official Twitter handle of Taj hotels confirmed the message being a fraud and issued a clarification. Their tweet read, ""It has come to our notice that a website has been promoting a Valentine’s Day initiative, offering a Taj Experiences Gift Card via WhatsApp. We would like to inform you that Taj Hotels/IHCL has not offered any such promotion. We request to take note of this and exercise due caution." The Cyber Police in Thane also issued a Press Note saying that the message is fake. On Valentine’s day there would be many such fake appealing offers that fool people to steal their money and data.
