“Arbaeen Pilgrims Alert: Avoid Unauthorized Ticket Sales on HamsafarVIP Website”
Unauthorized Website Selling Fake Arbaeen Flight Tickets
Tehran, Iran – The Civil Aviation Organization of Iran (CAO) has issued a warning to Arbaeen pilgrims against purchasing airline tickets from the unauthorized website www.hamsafarvip.com, citing illegal activity and fraudulent sales.
Mehdi Ramezani, the spokesperson for the CAO, confirmed that the website lacks the necessary electronic ticket sales license and has been referred to the Tehran Airport Prosecutor’s Office for legal action.
Black Market Risks and Fraudulent Sales
Investigations revealed that HamsafarVIP engaged in unlawful ticket sales during the Arbaeen travel period, offering fake or invalid bookings. Ramezani emphasized that unlicensed platforms often facilitate black-market operations, violating government regulations on ticket distribution.
To prevent further exploitation, authorities have requested the immediate blocking of the website and its associated banking portal.
Official Channels for Safe Ticket Purchases
The CAO urges travelers to only use authorized airlines and verified ticket distributors listed on its official website (www.caa.gov.ir, under the Passenger Rights section). Pilgrims should exercise caution and verify licensing before making any transactions.
Reporting Violations
Passengers who encounter issues or suspect fraud can file complaints via the CAO’s online portal (www.caa.gov.ir). The organization reaffirmed its commitment to protecting travelers’ rights and ensuring a secure booking process during the Arbaeen pilgrimage season.
