Warning over online Jersey public transport scam
BBCA bus operator in Jersey has warned members of the public not to fall foul of an online scam offering reduced price travel cards.
LibertyBus, which recently won a new contract to run services on the island for 10 years, said an unaffiliated Facebook page had been set up called Jersey Public Transport.
The Facebook page said it was offering "free public transport for Jersey residents" via a six-month travel card which could be bought if users clicked a link at the bottom of the post.
LibertyBus said it did not post offers online and told people not to click on the link.
The scam post said LibertyBus was celebrating its anniversary and there were only 500 cards available at a "special price".
LibertyBus said: "Please be aware that there is a scam on Facebook with a group calling itself Jersey Public Transport offering six months of travel for a small fee.
"Do not click the link, this will take you to a link that is not LibertyBus.
"We do not post offers online."
