The TTD has advised devotees to be wary of a fake website -- ttddevasthanam.online -- intended to cheat them and collect money in the name of darshan (visit to deity).
In the wake of this scam, the temple body noted that some unscrupulous elements have created the fake website to resemble the official online services of TTD to deceive devotees, a release from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams said on late Wednesday.
"TTD Vigilance Department has identified a fake
website named -- ttddevasthanam.online -- which is going viral on social media. Some people have created this website to resemble the official online services of TTD and are trying to cheat devotees," it said.
According to TTD, the fake website has falsely displayed information that Srivari Darshan and Seva tickets are available for the months of August, September and October. Besides cheating devotees, the fake website is also intent on tarnishing the reputation of the temple body, it said.
