Visa Alert - I've been Tricked And Overcharged By Misleading Website -Graeme Kemlo

from Travel Writers Radio

This is a cauitionary tale about searching for the official Indonesia Government visa service and being greeted by "Welcome To Indonesia - Indonesia Visa Online" Except it was a message from 16,577 kilometres away in the USA and they charged me four times the usual fee and have not responded to my reauests to cancel the transaction because I felt scammed. Don't make my costly mistake - go to https://www.smartraveller.gov.au then look on the site for Travel and it will take you to visa links for government sites around the world. Image is screen grab from my Google search - at the top is what I entered and the top result led me not to Bali, but faraway USA. When I checked later that day Indonesia;s official government visa site was listed at number 12 by Google. Don;t get sucked in as I was by the lie in bold text.
