Hajj Visa Scam Warning: Choose Licensed Agencies to Avoid Fraud

Hajj Visa Scams on the Rise: Tabung Haji Warns Pilgrims Malaysia is gearing up for the annual Hajj pilgrimage, but a warning has been issued about a surge in fraudulent visa offers. Many social media promotions advertise packages ranging from RM80,000 to over RM100,000. This has prompted concern from the Operations Director of PJH Tabung Haji, Anuar Ahmad, who stated in a recent video interview, "Recipients of the Mujamalah Visa, granted by the Saudi Arabian Government, should only use one of the 37 agencies licensed by Tabung Haji to avoid scams." He emphasized the importance of choosing licensed agencies to ensure safe and legitimate travel arrangements. The warning highlights the need for caution and vigilance among intending pilgrims, urging them to verify the legitimacy of any Hajj visa offers before committing to any packages. Tabung Haji's proactive approach in identifying and addressing these scams underscores its commitment to protecting Malaysian pilgrims and ensuring a smooth and safe Hajj pilgrimage for all.
