A bus operator is warning passengers across the borough not to fall for a ‘free transport’ scam doing the rounds on social media.
Nottingham City Transport is now urging people to ignore it.
The fake post claims the bus firm is celebrating an ‘anniversary’ and is offering a travel card for £2 that gives the buyer six months free unlimited travel.
It also claims that those with a card can board the tram for free during the free travel period.
A spokesman for Nottingham City Transport said: “We aren’t celebrating an anniversary and this is a scam.
“This is one of many posts on social media for heavily discounted travel cards in cities across the country that do not exist.
“If you see this on your feed, do not order because you won’t receive a travel card.”
Many of our readers have said they have reported it to Facebook but it hasn;t been removed due to ‘not breaching community guidelines.’
We have approached the platforms owners META for comment.
