Look-alike booking sites and apps
Look-alike websites and listings use the names of temple lodges such as Mallikarjuna Sadan, and sometimes AP Tourism’s Haritha Hotel, then take an advance payment. When pilgrims arrive, the counter has no booking.
What to do. Book rooms and tickets only on www.srisailadevasthanam.org or www.aptemples.ap.gov.in. Nobody from the temple or endowments department will ask you to send PhonePe or Google Pay to a personal account; treat that as fraud and call the information centre on 8333901351.

Refund escalation room scam
After a small payment to book a room at Vysya Satram, callers demand extra GST, then a tiny refund fee, then larger “server” payments that keep rising. The original stay is cancelled while the extra transfers continue.
What to do. If a booking is cancelled, do not send more money for GST, refunds, or server charges. Stop contact and file a cybercrime complaint instead of paying to unlock a refund.

“The victim booked a room at Vysya Satram through an online platform, only to be drawn into a series of deceitful transactions by fraudsters posing as booking agents.”

Around the town
“VIP” and “quick darshan” passes
A person near the shrine claims they can arrange inner-sanctum abhishekam or a special darshan for a large cash payment. Pilgrims are then given ordinary low-value darshan tickets.
What to do. Book Sparsha Darshan and Arjitha sevas yourself through Mana Mitra WhatsApp (9552300009), www.tms.ap.gov.in, or the Devasthanam site before you travel. Do not pay anyone who approaches you at the temple offering a private sanctum ritual.

Inside the complex
“VIP” and “quick darshan” passes
People sell Sparsha Darshan tickets near the temple that look printed but have new dates pasted onto old tickets. The tickets fail when temple staff scan them.
What to do. Buy Sparsha Darshan and other tickets only from temple counters or the official sites www.srisailadevasthanam.org and www.aptemples.ap.gov.in. Carry the Aadhaar copy the temple asks for with Sparsha tickets.
