"over the next few months the City of London Police will be working with the Muslim community and UK law enforcement to raise awareness of Hajj fraud and the dangers of booking through an illegitimate tour operator. The focus will be a week of action at the beginning of October in the parts of the country most affected by Hajj fraud. Commander Steve Head, from the City of London Police, said: “Hajj fraud is a devastating crime that every year is robbing Muslims of a once in life-time opportunity to make the pilgrimage to Mecca. “The City of London Police is committed to working with the Muslim community and UK police to understand the true scale and nature of Hajj fraud, to prevent people falling victim and to help those who do, and to track down and bring to justice the fraudsters who make criminal capital by destroying another person’s dreams. Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, Farooq Murad said: “Those who despicably defraud British Muslim pilgrims betray the goodwill and the deep trust placed in the majority of the law-abiding Hajj operators". rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/2/news-headlines/81786/dont-let-hajj-fraudsters-ruin-your-onceinalifetime-experience
