CRITICAL WARNING
CRITICAL WARNING: DO NOT TRUST LPO HOLIDAYS

Category: Senior Citizen Exploitation | Total Money Lost: ₹90,000/-
If you care about your hard-earned money, your time, and your clean passport record, DO NOT give a single rupee to LPO Holidays Pvt Ltd (Andheri East, Mumbai).
As a senior citizen, here is the exact trap they used on me:
1. No Fixed Dates, No Real Policies & The Bait-and-Switch: They refuse to give you fixed travel dates, leaving you completely stranded. They never show or give you any government-approved terms, conditions, or official rules at the start. They deliberately hide this information just to harass travelers later on by making up their own rules as they go. They act very friendly until they take your money (making me split ₹90,000/- into different UPI accounts). Once paid, they stop answering. No hotel details, no flight tickets, and zero booking proofs were ever given to me.
2. Dangerous Visa Documents: For my Schengen Visa application, they made two completely different travel plans (one fake plan to show the Embassy, and a different one for actual travel). Their official visa letter listed a contact person with a dead, invalid phone number. This puts any innocent traveler at risk of visa rejection and getting banned from Europe.
3. False Financial Declarations: Documents in my hands prove that the company secretly lied to a foreign embassy, claiming they received ₹1,65,000/- from me, which completely contradicts the actual payment.
4. Fake WhatsApp Groups: They put you in big WhatsApp groups with 40+ people to make it look like a smooth "group tour." In reality, many of these accounts are their own staff members used to crowd the chat and drown out your complaints.
5. Money Held Hostage & Legal Bullying: They have no complaint redressal mechanism. The Director (Mr. Sushil Tibrewal) completely ignores emails. The moment you demand your rightful refund, they try to scare you with their legal adviser/advocate. Even if you are extremely polite and beg for a peaceful settlement, the advocate aggressively pounces on you with heavy threats of "defamation cases" to terrify you into giving up your money.
6. The "No Booking Found" Copy-Paste Defense: When hundreds of cheated people write honest negative reviews here, this agency uses a shameless, robotic script to defend themselves. They immediately reply: "Sorry, we did not find any booking under your name," followed by another threat of a defamation lawsuit. They do this to trick the public and try to get honest reviews taken down. Instead of running a hospitality, tour, and travel agency, it feels like they belong in the business of supplying aggressive corporate bouncers, street boxers, and legal extortionists to bulldoze innocent people.
FACT-CHECK THE PUBLIC RECORDS BY YOURSELF:
Do not just take my word for it. Go to Google and search for consumer court records (DCDRC) against this company across India. You will see shocking legal cases where innocent travelers used this agency’s wrong documents. When they landed abroad, foreign border police arrested them, threw them in prison for days, and deported them back to India where they faced even more harassment by airport authorities. Also, look up statements online from their own ex-employees who expose that the company forces staff to write fake positive reviews to hide this trap.
FINAL VERDICT: My visa obtained after spending huge amount and administrative hassles is now completely useless because of their double-itinerary trap, and my money is gone. I have filed formal criminal complaints—though individual complaints seem to make no difference to them, as it is their dark expertise to not care or manage and brush off multiple cases which are going against them everyday everywhere. But a simple, innocent, or respectable citizen can neither afford to forgo their hard-earned money, nor easily fight this institutional harassment, and definitely suffers immense trauma at their hands.
Save your passport, save your savings, and protect your dignity. Stay far away from this agency.
