Nottingham City Council Issues Urgent Warning Over Free Travel Scam
Nottingham City Council alerts residents about a social media scam offering fake free travel cards
Nottingham, UK, Free Travel Scam, Robin Hood Card, Public Transport
Nottingham: So, there’s this scam going around that you should know about. The city council is warning folks about a fake offer for a ‘free travel’ card. It’s been popping up on social media, and it’s a total scam.
Basically, some post claims you can snag a six-month Robin Hood Card for just £2. Sounds too good to be true, right? The council is urging everyone to report this post if they see it. They want people to stay safe and not click on any links.
The council’s transport team took to X to spread the word. They said this scam has nothing to do with the real Robin Hood Card, which is used for public transport in the area. If you see something like this, just remember: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
This scam has been around for about ten months now. The council first warned residents about it last March. So, keep your eyes peeled and don’t fall for it!
