WhatsApp scam for 'Tayto Park passes'

TAYTO Park have issued a statement to say they are NOT running a competition giving away 500 free family passes.

A link puporting to be from the Ashbourne theme park has been widely circulated over the weekend and is still doing the rounds on Whatsapp and Facebook today offering 'five free passes to 500 families' with a link to a site which looks like Tayto Park's official site.

Tayto Park responded: 'Hi guys, we would like to advise that there is a link being sent around stating that we are giving away five free passes to 500 families.

"Unfortunately that is not correct, the website is not ours and we would advise everyone to ignore this link."
