JET2 has issued an urgent warning to all passengers who currently have a flight booking with the airline.

“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.
“The only official account for http://Jet2.com and Jet2holidays on Twitter is @jet2tweets which is a verified ‘blue tick’ account.”
Passengers are being urged not to fall for the scam, which could see their flights cancelled and their data stolen.
Some passengers had already noticed the scam.
One person pointed out: “Jet2helps dot com domain has only been registered on 29 August 2021, and has been flagged on the web as potential phishing.”
Most of the accounts have already been suspended.
Other common travel scams include free plane tickets with a Virgin scam warning in 2018 or discounted fares, with easyJet passengers warned back in 2017.
