Banyuwangi Regent Urges Residents to Be Careful in Choosing Umrah Travel, Only 9 Official Agents

The Banyuwangi Regency government is urging the public to be more careful in selecting Umrah travel agencies. Regent Ipuk Fiestiandani expressed her concern over a fake travel case that caused dozens of pilgrims to fail to depart. People are asked to ensure the travel agency has an official license from the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah. The Chief of Criminal Investigation at Banyuwangi Police, Kompol Lanang Teguh Pambudi, revealed that out of 44 travel agencies in Banyuwangi, only 9 are officially registered. Residents are advised to check legality through the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah website, not to make payments to personal accounts, and to keep transaction records. Authorities are committed to taking firm action against fraudsters. https://kabarbaik.co/rawan-penipuan-travel-umroh-bupati-banyuwangi-imbau-warga-teliti/

Remember, umrah is a form of worship-don’t let your good intentions get taken advantage of by shady types. Always check the legitimacy of things and never send money to a personal bank account.

Poor congregation members who've been saving for years, only to get scammed. Hope the perpetrators get a harsh sentence, so they'll think twice.

Whoa, only 9 out of 44? The rest are just pretending to be official then. Thanks for the info, sir, this is really important for those planning for umrah.

Checking through the Ministry of Religious Affairs site is a simple step, but a lot of people are just too lazy to do it. Even though it involves tens of millions of rupiah.

In my city, there are lots of shady travel agencies too - one even ran off with pilgrims’ money once. My neighbor got so stressed out over it. So yeah, you really gotta stay alert.
