SCAM ALERT – SriLankan Airlines Impersonation Fraud



SriLankan Airlines wishes to alert customers and the general public to ongoing scam activities where fraudsters are impersonating the airline using phone calls, WhatsApp calls, social media messages, and fake promotional offers that misuse the SriLankan Airlines name, logo, and brand identity.

These scammers may contact customers directly, claim to represent SriLankan Airlines, and attempt to mislead them by offering promotions, ticket assistance, or refunds.

SriLankan Airlines categorically states that the airline:

  • Does NOT make WhatsApp calls or unsolicited phone calls to customers
  • Does NOT provide remote assistance, request screen sharing, or ask customers to install mobile or third party applications
  • Does NOT request OTPs, banking PIN numbers, credit card details, or any financial or confidential information via phone calls, WhatsApp, or social media platforms
  • Does NOT collect payments through messaging platforms or unofficial channels

Customers are strongly advised to:

Always verify promotions and communications through official SriLankan Airlines channels only:

If you receive any suspicious communication claiming to be from SriLankan Airlines, please disregard it immediately and remain vigilant.
