Fake MakeMyTrip calls and apps
Fake MakeMyTrip agents ask for card details, refund approvals and holiday deposits. Learn how to verify a booking safely.
MakeMyTrip is a large Indian booking site and app for flight tickets, hotels, bus seats and holiday packages. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be MakeMyTrip on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake MakeMyTrip calls and apps
- Caller says your ticket was cancelled and asks you to approve a refund on an app
- Fake support agent on a search-result number asks you to read out your card details
- Caller offers a deeply discounted holiday package if you pay today
- Person on WhatsApp sends a payment link to confirm a hotel stay
How to verify it yourself
Open the MakeMyTrip app and look under My Trips to see whether your booking, change or refund really exists. Refunds go back to the original payment method on their own; nobody needs your card number or OTP to send one. Look for support help inside the app or on the website you type yourself, instead of numbers shown in search ads. Also check the confirmation email and the airline's own booking page using your booking reference.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions
A caller says they are from MakeMyTrip. Is it real?
Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact MakeMyTrip through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.
Can MakeMyTrip ask me to install an app on a call?
Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
