Customers are also being asked to take care when sharing personal information Online, and to pay attention as to whether they are on the correct website when conducting business.

“The offers are not from Fly Jamaica Airways, and we would like to emphasise that Fly Jamaica Airways is in no way affiliated with this site or the associated Facebook page,” the statement says, adding:

“If you are approached about the offer by friends or loved ones, please advise them to not use the site as the site seems to be part of a phishing scam to get unsuspecting persons’ personal information.”
