Qatar Airways yesterday issued a statement on “false ticket scams”, advising people to report such fraudulent attempts to the airline.
“Members of the public are receiving links that appear to be from Qatar Airways or any of the subsidiaries of Qatar Airways Group, where it falsely states that they can book travel tickets as part of an anniversary promotion or receive two tickets for 1 euro,” the statement posted on the airline’s Twitter page read. Such links are “false offers and phishing scams” and may come from unknown domains that mimic an official Qatar Airways website, the statement noted, adding that they may “ask you to reply to share information to claim an offer. Such links can compromise your personal information”. “Any Qatar Airways Group-related communication will always be sent from an official domain. We highly recommend that you report such fraudulent attempts with details to [email protected],” Qatar Airways said.
