Air Peace, a prominent Nigerian airline, has issued a warning to its customers about a scam involving a cloned version of its official website. The fraud came to light shortly after the airline inaugurated its landmark direct flights from Nigeria to the United Kingdom, attracting significant customer interest.
The airline disclosed through its official X account (formerly known as Twitter) that fraudsters had created a counterfeit website mimicking Air Peace’s online booking platform. This fake site, identified as “www.flyairpeace.uk,” was reportedly used to deceive individuals looking to book flights to the UK, leading to financial losses for unsuspecting customers.
Air Peace clarified that the authentic website for all bookings and official information is “www.flyairpeace.com.” The company strongly advised the public to disregard the fraudulent website, emphasizing that it has no association with the domain “www.flyairpeace.uk.” By using Air Peace’s branding and visual identity, the scammers have created a convincing but deceitful portal designed to exploit customers.
The airline’s prompt alert aims to safeguard its customers from potential scams and underscores the importance of vigilance when booking flights online. Air Peace has reassured its customers of its commitment to their safety and security, urging them to verify the legitimacy of any website claiming to represent the airline.
This incident highlights the growing threat of cyber fraud in the aviation industry and the need for consumers to exercise caution when making online transactions. Customers are encouraged to report any suspicious activity or websites that attempt to impersonate legitimate businesses.
