EasyJet issues warning over Facebook ticket scam
The scam, primarily posted on Facebook, claims to offer two free flights for each customer to celebrate the budget airline’s 22nd anniversary.
The post includes an image of an easyJet boarding pass - but the airline has warned customers that no such giveaway exists and to be on their guard.

However, Facebook users have still been sharing the post in the past week.
A spokesperson for the airline said: “EasyJet is aware of this fake Facebook competition and can confirm this is not a genuine EasyJet ticket giveaway.
“We posted on our own Facebook page earlier this week to warn our customers about this.”
