Don’t fall victim to travel scams this Hajj

London Muslims booking trips to Mecca to celebrate Hajj are being advised to be on the look-out for bogus travel packages.

City of London Police have launched a campaign to stop illegal travel operators scamming would-be pilgrims after 200 people fell victim last year.

Every year up to 25,000 British Muslims make the journey to Mecca, spending around £125 million on their pilgrimages.
