MALAYSIA Airlines has issued a warning to customers about an increase in online scams, where fraudsters are pretending to be the customer service representatives of the airlines.

The national carrier urged the public to only trust its official and verified social media accounts (©malaysiaairlines) on Facebook and X which can be identified by the blue verification tick.

It advised customers to ignore and report any suspicious messages or comments and refrain from engaging with them.
