Jet2 sends urgent warning to all holidaymakers with flights booked

Jet2 has been forced to issue a warning to all of its customers after a string of reports that fake Twitter accounts pretending to be the airline have been contacting passengers about their bookings.

The holiday operator sent out an alert on its verified social media accounts this week, urging travellers to be vigilant and not share their personal details with accounts without the 'blue tick'.

According to Jet2's warning, fraudsters have been sending direct messages to customers asking them to contact a fake email address and provide personal details and passwords.

Jet2 wrote: "URGENT CUSTOMER NOTICE. We have been made aware of several customers receiving messages advising to contact @jet2helps.com (and/or similar) to discuss bookings & queries.

"These accounts are NOT affiliated to us, so please DO NOT give personal information/data to them (1/2).

"The only official account for http://Jet2.com and Jet2holidays on Twitter is @jet2tweets which is a verified ‘blue tick’ account."

It comes after the airline was forced to issue a scam warning last month after scammers tried to target eager holidaymakers desperate to book a holiday when rules relaxed.
