Hermes Airports said on Thursday they had alerted authorities over a fake Facebook account purporting to show piles of lost luggage being sold for €2.99 apiece at Larnaca airport.
The fake account is named ‘Larnaca Airport. The post reads: “Our airport management has decided to get rid of customers lost luggage in the last 9 months by selling suitcases for only €2.99. To place an order, click on the ad button.”
It shows a series of photos, some of which appear to show the real Larnaca airport in the background. Piles of suitcases are laid out in rows or in piles with a yellow sign stuck among them with €2.99 printed on it.
A spokesman at the Hermes press office told the Cyprus Mail the account was fake and that they had alerted the authorities to at least try and block the page. “It’s not us,” he said. However, some of the photos just of the airport and luggage were taken from Hermes web pages, the spokesman said.
“Someone added that sign,” he said, referring to the price tag. “They used some of our photos to convince the public. We have alerted the authorities,” he added.
