Center Parcs issue warning to holidaymakers over Facebook scam

Holidaymakers are being warned to watch out for a Center Parcs scam that's circulating on social media.

Center Parcs said it is "in no way affiliated" with the fake competition that's been shared online. The scam invites people to enter a competition for the chance to win a "Center Parcs Aqua Sana Day for two."

According to those who have spotted the scam, it is being shared on fake location-based Center Parcs Facebook pages. It comes just weeks after the company was hit with widespread criticism after it initially asked guests to leave their holiday resorts on the day of the Queen's funeral.

Center Parcs later reversed the decision and said it would allow guests to stay in the village on the day of the funeral - but all facilities would remain closed.

In a statement on Facebook on Wednesday, Center Parcs said: "FAKE competition alert.

"We are in no way affiliated with the ‘Win a Center Parcs Aqua Sana Spa Day for 2’ competition and any other location-based pages. Thank you for contacting us about these, it’s so helpful that you’re our ‘eyes’ on Facebook!

"We DO NOT have location-specific pages, our main pages BLUE TICK VERIFIED are: Center Parcs UK @centerparcsIE @CenterParcsCareers @aquasanaspauk @AquaSanaSpaIE

"If you come across a page/post on Facebook that you think might be fake, please report it by going to the page, tapping *** from the top right, selecting ‘Find support or report page’ and then selecting ‘Scams and Fake Pages’."
