Please be aware that a Facebook page called ‘Zoo Tickets’ has been fraudulently impersonating us to promote a fake ’95th birthday’ ticket offer which goes on to ask for your personal details and financial information.
Any ads you’ve seen on Facebook from ‘Zoo Tickets’, and the website that has been set up to run alongside them, are entirely fake. They are impersonating us and using our good name to promote a bogus offer, which goes on to ask for your personal details and financial information.
We’re so upset to see that someone is trying to take advantage of our amazing community, and their love for our zoo and wildlife.
We’ve reported this scam to Facebook numerous times but so far the platform hasn’t acted to remove it. Unfortunately, getting these fake ads taken down is completely out of our hands and reliant on the people at Facebook. We’ve also referred it to the Cyber Crime Unit to see if they can assist in getting it removed.
We’ve circulated warnings on our official channels but please, please report the ads if you see them again and help us spread the word to help others.
