Transport for Ireland (TFI) has issued a caution against a new scam targeting potential Leap card users. Fraudsters have been found operating through a counterfeit Facebook page named “Transport for Ireland,” with only 8 followers.
The fake page advertises an enticing offer: acquiring a Leap card for a mere €2.35, purportedly granting free travel throughout Ireland for an entire year. However, TFI officials have confirmed that this offer is a scam.
TFI urges the public to exercise vigilance and refrain from clicking on any links provided by such fraudulent pages. Instead, individuals are advised to rely solely on official TFI sources, such as their website or recognized social media channels, for authentic information regarding Leap card purchases and usage.
To ensure genuine transactions and to safeguard against falling victim to scams, it is crucial for individuals to verify the legitimacy of promotional offers and to only engage with trusted sources when seeking transportation-related services.
