Scams in name of Ram Janmabhoomi donation: here is how you can safely donate for Ram Temple

5th of August, 2020 was a red letter day in Hindu History. After almost five centuries, Ram Temple was reclaimed at Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya. Naturally, every practicing Hindu is eager to do sewa or donate for the construction of the temple. However, some unscrupulous elements have decided to make money at the expense of pious Hindus in the name of Ram Janmabhoomi donation.

Scams in the name of Ram Janmabhoomi donation

Recently, a scam was unearthed in which UPI IDs resembling that of the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust were created. These IDs were being used to solicit donations from the public by scamsters. Twitter user Anshul Saxena, who tweets from the handle @AskAnshul warned about these UPI IDs. These has very similar spelling to the original UPI Id. Four of these seemed to be created by member of a certain Babbar-Dhawan family.

In future too, criminals might use some other strategies to con the public out of their hard warned money:-

  • You may see fake websites in the name of the Trust crop up and the same might solicit donations. Indeed, Times of India reported a similar website which solicited donations in name of Ram Temple. An FIR was fled against the same. But as making a new website is quite easy, it is possible that more such websites will surface.
  • You may get emails, SMS messages etc. claiming to represent Ram Janmbhoomi and soliciting donations. Immediately delete all such mails and SMS as these are a common way to cheat people.
  • You may see online advertisements pretending to be from the Trust and asking for donations too. Avoid all such advertisements and donate directly to the Trust.

Conclusion

It is up to the government in partnership with vigilant citizens to stop such scams from happening and protecting the astha as well as money of devotees. The scamsters who are using fake UPI ids should be booked and UPI IDs with similar spelling should be blocked.
