ANOTHER Center Parcs scam doing the rounds in Wiltshire

Wiltshire's Center Parcs at Longleat has been targeted by scammers again, with a Facebook page being set up claiming to offer prize holidays to the resort.

The county's Trading Standards team say it was shared more than 9,200 times within 16 hours of the page going up.

But they've warned that the scam, and others like it, are just aiming to get personal information for you, and there's never a prize at the end of it.

It's not the first time this kind of scam has targeted Center Parcs.

Just a month ago, Wiltshire Trading Standards warned of a similar fake page offering holidays that was being investigated by them.

ADVICE FOR FACEBOOK USERS

The Trading Standards team have said there's a few things to watch out for to make sure you're not potentially giving your information to the wrong people.

They've said we should check things like:

• When was the page set up? If it's new, the chances are it's been launched purely for a scam

• How many posts are on the original page? Check that there are other legitimate details on the page.

• Does the page have the blue tick to confirm the profile is the official page of the business it's claiming to be? If it doesn't, it's almost certainly not a genuine post.
