Heritage Malta said that it has filed a report with the Malta Police Force after becoming aware of a fraudulent website impersonating the agency and offering fake admission tickets to museums and historical sites under its care.
The agency was alerted to the scam by a customer who had purchased tickets through the fraudulent website but did not receive them. The website used by the customer was heritagemalta.mom, which is not affiliated with Heritage Malta.
Heritage Malta urged members of the public to ”exercise caution when purchasing tickets online and to check the website address carefully before making any payment.”
Heritage Malta admission tickets should only be purchased through the agency’s official website, https://heritagemalta.mt/ [1], or directly from Heritage Malta museums and sites, the agency said.
It said that anyone who believes they may have purchased tickets through the fraudulent website is encouraged to report the matter to the Police.
Heritage Malta concluded by saying it is taking the necessary steps to protect its visitors and its online identity and will continue to cooperate fully with the relevant authorities.
