Warning on phone scam offering free holidays

PHONE users are being warned to be wary of unsolicited calls offering great deals or free holidays in the US or Mexico.

A scam is being carried out whereby the caller alleges that they are an Aer Lingus representative and asks the consumer to dial ‘9’ on their handset.

Aer Lingus have confirmed that they are not making unsolicited calls and do not have a special offer to Mexico or USA promotion in place.
