Quick answer
The most common Kashmir travel scams are fake helicopter/Gondola/Shrine Board ticket sites, 'too cheap' packages that add charges on arrival, fake houseboat listings, fake saffron and pashmina, and payment requests from unknown numbers. Book tickets only on official sites, get hotel names in writing, and pay only verified accounts.
