Ryanair is warning the public not to fall for an email scam that claims they have won a free car in the airline’s scratchcard draw.
The email asks the recipient to pay £500 delivery charges for the vehicle which it claims they won in Ryanair’s ‘car promo’.
The airline, which has reported the fraudulent email to Consumer Direct, the agency that deals with internet scams, said it was circulated following news that a printing error led to three passengers on one flight winning cars after buying scratchcards for €2 each.
It reminded passengers that the only way to win a car with Ryanair was to buy a winning scratchcard and that they should have their ticket verified by Brandforce before claiming their prize, which is free of any form of payment or delivery charges.
