Watch out for a new Ryanair scam on Facebook that offers you free tickets in return for your personal details.

Ryanair is warning people not to fall for a new scam on Facebook.

A post appears in your newsfeed saying you have been selected to get two free tickets from Ryanair to celebrate the airlines 32 year anniversary.

The length of the anniversary does seem to vary but they are all scams.

All you have to do to get your free tickets is fill out a short survey (see image below).

But, after you’ve completed the survey and handed over plenty of personal information you’ll find there are no free tickets on offer.

The post is coming from a number of fake Ryanair website addresses including ‘ryanair-airways.us’ and ‘ryanair.com-freechance.com’.

The scam is almost identical to one that appeared this time last year and did the rounds on Facebook. At the time Ryanair took to Facebook to warn people not to be taken in by the con.

“Please be aware of an online scam offering free Ryanair tickets.

“This is not an official promotion,” the airline warned on its official Facebook page.

Free flight offers are generally to be treated with caution. However, you can definitely slash the cost of your next flight by reading this brilliant guide on cheap flights.
