Beware of fake cabin crew social media profiles selling cosmetics

Many of you have probably seen those posts purportedly by flight attendants selling various products such as perfumes and creams. Please keep in mind that these are not actual flight attendant social media profiles. It could even be a scam. There are numerous fake cabin crew social media profiles selling cosmetics, and let me explain why these are fake.

Flight attendants are not allowed to endorse any products or service in uniform

You may have noticed various sponsored advertisements featuring flight attendants from our local airlines selling products. Flight attendants, it appears, are not permitted to sell or endorse any products while in uniform. An exception is made if the advertisement is related to the airline and the company allows it. They are not even permitted to use the names of their respective airlines to promote a product unrelated to the company.

The name on the profile is not the real name of the cabin crew on the photo

The name of the cabin crew on the image is changed by these advertisers. For instance, the image of Cebu Pacific flight attendant Muriel Nicolas was used in these advertisements. Muriel’s profile name was apparently “Miriel Nichols,” which is close to her real name. As a result, the profile endorsing the product is undoubtedly fake, and you should be cautious.

Photo of the hand holding the product in front of the plane is Photoshopped

One of the images shows a hand holding the product with an airplane in the background. If you look closely, you can see that the hand is photoshopped onto the plane backdrop. Again, flight attendants are not permitted to use their airline to promote products, particularly if the products are unknown.

Please be cautious if you see these ads on Facebook. The fake cabin crew profiles used to promote these products are bogus. It is best to report them as soon as possible.
