Maha Kumbh Mela

India stands out from other countries in the world because it is home to innumerable cultures, traditions, religions, and spiritual practices. Indians celebrate life through various cultural festivities and spiritual events and one such event is the Maha Kumbh Mela.

In the gap of every 12 years, the Maha Kumbh Mela is organised at the banks of Prayagraj, a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Billions of people not only from the corners of India but from the corners of the world come to experience this grand event wherein culture and spirituality meet.

It is almost like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the Maha Kumbh Mela, however, it is a great opportunity for scammers as well to manipulate people for their gain and rob them of their belongings. Hence, it is crucial for everyone who is planning a visit to the grand event to stay safe and secure from all forms of digital scams and have a great experience at the event.

Read the article for some basic tips that everyone who is visiting the Mela should know about and stay safe from digital scams.

1. Payment Fraud

As everything is turning digital including making or receiving payments through UPI numbers or QR codes, it is essential to verify the digital address you’re making the payment to. Cross-check the name that comes in your device with the person you’re making the payment to, simply to avoid any hassle, and don’t make any unauthorised payments by clicking on suspicious links.

2. Fake Travel Offers

Ensure that whatever website you’re booking your stay or travel from, is valid and legal; book from valid sources only like IRCTC for railway bookings. Do not make any payments if you have an ounce of doubt and don’t fall into discount-payment traps.

3. Phishing Attacks

Do not click on any links that you receive on your device as those links are suspicious and are targeted to rob you of your resources and personal information.

4. Public Wi-fi

Please be extra careful and avoid connecting your personal devices to any public Wi-fi connections visible on your device. There are high chance that after connecting, scammers may attack your personal information for their gain.

5. Maha Kumbh Application

Download the Maha Kumbh Application available on both, android & iOS platforms for the ease of people.

Please don’t hesitate to report any kind of suspicious activity that you may come across or if you fall victim to any kind of criminal act as soon as possible.

Conclusion

The Maha Kumbh Mela isn’t merely an event, it is a season of celebration of India’s heritage, culture, and religious and spiritual activities celebrated by people from across the world including sages who come from secluded areas like mountains.

We wish you a great experience and request you to please stay informed as information is one of the biggest weapons for reducing and eventually eliminating digital scams.
