Travel Packages in Pakistan: How to Avoid Scammers & Why SSA Travels is Different - 2026 Guide
Last Updated: September 7, 2026 | Author: Shahid Ali, Founder & CEO, SSA Travel & Tours Pvt Ltd | 6-Minute Read
Stop. We are not talking about mobile internet or call packages here.
We are talking about Travel Packages - Umrah, Ziyarat, Dubai, Turkey. And the biggest threat to your sacred journey isn't the flight delay. It's the scammers.
The market is flooded with thousands of fraudsters. They have no office, no address, no license. They create a fake company name, collect advance payments from 2-3 innocent groups, make 2 crore, and vanish overnight. The company gets blacklisted. Do they care? No. Does the government chase them? Rarely.
The only one who suffers is the person who saved every rupee for years with one dream: "I will take my elderly parents for Umrah or Ziyarat to the holy places." And he gets scammed because the package was "a little cheaper" than the market rate.
Today, I will tell you exactly how to verify a travel package before you buy, and how SSA Travels is fighting this fraud.
The 4-Step Scammer Detection Test - Use Before You Book
1. Verify the Company’s Existence
Before paying anyone for Umrah, Ziyarat, or tour packages, ask: Does this company actually exist?
• Check for a physical office address on Google Maps
• Ask for their DTC License or IATA Certificate
• Search their NTN number on FBR's website
If it's just a Facebook page with no address, run. It's likely run by an unknown individual, not a registered company.
2. Compare Market Rates - The "Too Good to Be True" Rule
Get quotes from 3-4 companies. If one package is significantly cheaper than the market rate, it's a 100% red flag.
There are only two possibilities:
A) He is a scammer who will take your money and disappear.
B) He is a genuine, God-fearing person who serves at minimal profit.
Important: In both cases, you must be alert. Verify deeply. If you confirm he is genuine, book with him. If he looks suspicious, immediately file a complaint with FIA and make him viral on social media. Expose him so others don't get trapped.
3. Check Their Track Record
Ask: "Can I speak to 2-3 of your recent customers?"
Ask: "Show me visa approvals from last month."
Real companies have real proof. Scammers make excuses.
4. Consult Someone with Knowledge
If you don't understand travel, take a knowledgeable friend or family member with you. Never decide alone under pressure.
Our Honest Confession: Where SSA Travels Stands Today
We have no hesitation in telling you: Our DTC License is currently under process.
When we receive it, we will create packages directly. But right now, we operate under a B2B system in the market.
Why are we telling you this? Because we want to save innocent people from scammers. We want to save the rich clients who think "2-3 lakh is nothing if lost" - because unknowingly, they are encouraging scammers. Once a fraudster gets a taste of easy money, he becomes addicted and scams more people.
Your research before buying a package is critical. These days, people are being robbed with fake tickets and forged visa stamps. Caution is mandatory.
The SSA Solution: Our Digital Customer Dashboard - Built for Trust
Seeing all this fraud, SSA Travel & Tours Pvt Ltd introduced a Digital System: The Customer Dashboard.
My team worked day and night to build it with one priority: Your Data Security.
• Your complete data is accessible only to you. No one can enter without your "key" - your login.
• But fraud isn't one-sided. Buyers also scam companies. That's why we introduced KYC - Know Your Customer.
• Website and dashboard full access is only for Gold & Premium customers after KYC completion. Once KYC is done, you are eligible for online booking.
This protects both you and us.
What Packages Does SSA Offer? Our Real Services
Umrah: We do B2B - we partner with licensed Umrah operators.
Ziyarat & Tours: We design and operate these ourselves.
Every package has different terms. For example:
If someone wants an Arbaeen Imam Hussain (A.S) package for a full group: Iraqi government policy states that Ziyarat visas are not issued for individuals. Minimum group size is 5 people. There is no maximum limit.
Package variations you must understand:
• Some packages include accommodation, food, air/bus/train tickets.
• Some include 2 meals a day, others 3 meals + breakfast.
• Iraq Visa Rule: The Iraqi government issues visas only after complete investigation. The travel company is legally bound to bring the Zair back safely.
The Problem with Many Companies: After giving the visa or full package and receiving payment, they don't even answer the customer's calls. If trouble occurs during the journey, they provide no help. They aren't scammers, but they are not loyal to their business.
The SSA Promise: Best Service for Our Valued Customers
SSA Travel & Tours Pvt Ltd's slogan is our commitment: "Best Service for Our Valued Customers."
We promise: From the moment you book until you return home safely, our team is available 24/7 to serve you.

Final Advice: How to Buy Any Package Safely
1. Never buy from "walking-talking shops" - those who just run a social media ad but have no real existence.
2. Always investigate first. Stay alert. Stay smart.
3. Consider it Jihad against scammers. When you let a scammer go thinking "who will chase for small money," you are actually supporting him. Get them punished. Contact SSA Travels - We're Here to Help
