Budget airline Jet2 has issued a warning to customers about what appear to be a series of scams.
In a social media message, a spokesman for the company referenced a scam relating to covid testing. While some destinations still require travellers from the UK to take PCR or lateral flow tests ahead of and/or after arrival, these usually have to be paid for separately, with a number of providers offering testing kits.
However, Jet2 has said it does not "arrange PCR tests or Fit to Fly documents" and urged passengers: "please do not respond to requests for this". Other warnings related to bank account details, telephone numbers and social media purchases, Liverpool Echo reports.
