MIAA warns public vs scammers selling 'lost luggage' online

The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) is warning the public against the online sale of supposed lost pieces of luggage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

"We appeal to everyone to be extremely careful and vigilant when browsing through the internet," MIAA officer-in-charge Bryan Co said in a statement Thursday.

"Always exercise caution when engaging with online sellers. Do not be easy targets of scammers," he added.

The MIAA made the statement after monitoring a Facebook post claiming that lost pieces of luggage at the airport are on sale.

According to the MIAA, its agency and the airline operators have clear and established protocols in safekeeping and disposal of lost or left-behind items. 

"Selling these items online is certainly not one of them," MIAA said. —Joviland Rita/KBK, GMA Integrated News
