WARNING: FAKE WEBSITE IMPERSONATING THE OFFICIAL MOTAC PLATFORM
PUTRAJAYA – The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia (MOTAC) wishes to issue an urgent public warning regarding the existence of fraudulent websites that impersonate the official MOTAC platform. These fake websites, which falsely claim to provide information on licensed tourism companies, include the following links: https://www.motacgov.com/semakan/tobtab/#/ and https://www.motacgov.com/#/.MOTAC takes this matter seriously, as these websites are misleading and could potentially result in fraud. They may be used by unscrupulous parties to deceive users with invalid information or offer services not recognized by MOTAC.
In response, MOTAC emphasizes that all official information concerning licensed tourism companies and tour guides is available exclusively through the official MOTAC website at https://www.motac.gov.my/. The public is strongly urged to verify the authenticity of any website before engaging in transactions to avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.
MOTAC is actively addressing this issue by collaborating with relevant authorities to block and shut down these fraudulent websites.
Members of the public who have information about suspicious websites or who have been affected by such fraudulent activities are encouraged to report to MOTAC via the following channels:
