Don’t be fooled! Ryanair issues warning over FRAUDULENT offer

Aug 29, 2016

When Ryanair launched a sale last week in honour of their latest award, thousands of us salivated over Europe's slickest hotspots before making the most of the deal.

And with many still pumped over their super-cheap holiday abroad, online fraudsters have decided to cash in on the atmosphere by circulating a message which purports to offer two free Ryanair tickets in honour of the airline's 35th birthday.

Here's the thing though – Ryanair won't turn 35 until 2019 which led many to question the authenticity of the offer.

Confirming the public's scepticism, Ryanair took to their official Twitter account this morning to warn customers against the online scam.

"Please be aware of an online scam offering free Ryanair tickets," they wrote alongside an image of the fake offer. "This is not an official promotion."

You heard them, ladies – Steer well clear.
