⚠️ Important Notice: Beware of Fraudulent Activities ⚠️

Dear Devotees,
While making donations or offerings to the temple via QR codes or online payments, kindly ensure your payment is secure and genuine. Follow these steps to avoid fraud:

Steps to Follow:

1. Verify the QR Code:
   • Ensure the QR code matches the one shared officially by the temple authorities.
   • Cross-check UPI IDs, account names, and phone numbers with the details mentioned in the official communication.
2. Avoid Third-party Sources:
   • Use only the QR code shared directly by the temple through official WhatsApp messages, posters, or on the temple premises.
   • Do not trust QR codes forwarded from unknown contacts or social media posts.
3. Double-check Details Before Payment:
   • Verify the account name displayed before completing the transaction. It should read as Shri Ayyappa Temple Trust or the official temple name.
   • Avoid payments if the displayed account name or UPI ID appears suspicious.
4. Keep Transaction Proof:
   • Save the transaction receipt or screenshot for reference.
   • Share the payment details with the temple’s official contact numbers for confirmation, if required.
5. Contact Temple for Confirmation:
   • If in doubt, directly contact the temple office at the official numbers provided (9412903162, 01334-227842) to verify payment details.
6. Avoid Sharing Personal Details:
   • Never share OTPs, PINs, or personal banking information with anyone claiming to assist with your payment.

We deeply appreciate your offerings and want to ensure a secure process for all devotees.

Always prioritize safety and confirm authenticity before making any payment.
