It’s alleged the company provided fake tickets and visas to customers who had already paid them.

Those who were allegedly duped reported the matter to the Namaka Police in November last year.

Krish Krishna who is one of the complainant’s claims around $500,000 have been paid collectively by a number of people.

The two will appear at the Nadi Magistrates Court tomorrow.
