Alright, so let me tell you about the time I tried to buy a Nepali passport online. It all started when I stumbled upon this website, it looked kinda legit, you know? It had all these official-looking seals and stuff, and it claimed to be the real deal.
I was curious and, honestly, a bit desperate because my old passport was about to expire, and I needed a new one ASAP. So, I decided to give it a shot. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen, right?
First Steps
The website, which had a name like “nepalpassport,” seemed okay at first glance. I even read somewhere that it had a “good trust score” or whatever that means. Anyway, I found this section on the site that talked about how to get a Nepali passport. It seemed pretty straightforward. The instructions mentioned applying online and even had some tips for renewing old passports. Sounded like they knew what they were talking about.

Diving Deeper
I found out there are different types of Nepali passports, and each one had a slightly different process. I picked the one that applied to me and started following their guide. They even had a video tutorial, which was pretty helpful. I felt like I was making progress, and maybe this online thing wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
Something Seemed Off
But then, things started to get a bit fishy. They asked for payment through some online service called “eSewa,” which I’d never heard of. I did a little digging and found some people online talking about scams related to it. One guy even said he lost money and suggested reporting it to some “cybercrime department.”
Getting Nervous
I started to panic a little. I mean, I hadn’t paid anything yet, but the whole thing was starting to feel like a bad idea. I tried to find more information about the website and the people behind it. I even tried searching for their names on social media, using those “reverse search tools” that someone mentioned online, but I didn’t find much.
Decided To Back Out
In the end, I decided not to go through with it. It just didn’t feel right. I mean, buying a passport online? It sounded crazy when I thought about it. I figured it’s better to be safe than sorry, you know? I ended up going through the official channels to renew my passport. It took a bit longer, but at least I knew it was all legit.
So yeah, that’s my story of almost getting scammed while trying to buy a Nepali passport online. It was a wild ride, and I learned a valuable lesson: if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Especially when it comes to important stuff like passports, it’s always better to stick to the official ways.
Hope my little adventure helps someone out there. Stay safe, folks!
