AIRASIA Philippines has advised travelers looking for affordable flights to take extra precautions, especially when dealing with people on social media claiming to represent the brand.
The low-cost carrier said multiple reports have reached its office about several Facebook groups and individuals who allegedly represent the brand, even using it for their unofficial dealings offering cheap flights, tour packages, and other tourism-related products.Some Facebook groups, it said, using AirAsia's name are also involved in promoting suspicious online transactions such as job offerings which led to Phishing and other forms of online scams.
According to a last quarter 2022 study by Statista, an online data gathering platform, 51 percent of 1,005 polled Filipinos claimed to have been victims of Phishing - a form of fraud that collects personal information, credit card numbers, and passwords. Thirty-three percent on the other hand were victims of third-party seller scams on legitimate online retail websites.
