Don’t fall for the Facebook scam claiming to sell US airport luggage for US$10

The scam isn’t limited to DIA, with TikTok videos posted this month about similar phishing attempts – a cybercrime when 'someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords,' according to software company KnowBe4 – related to Singapore Airlines. — Photo by Ante Hamersmit on Unsplash

The Denver International Airport warns that a new Facebook page by the name of Dеnvеr Airроrt claiming to sell lost luggage for US$10 (RM46) is “in no way affiliated” with it.

The Facebook page, which identifies itself as a thrift and consignment store, is unexpectedly popping up on users’ feeds as a sponsored advertisement. In its only post published on Wednesday (Dec 27) around 7am, the business encourages users to “get a suіtcase with baggage for just US$9.95 (RM45),” alleging that the luggage has sat in storage at DIA for more than six months.
