“Always exercise caution when engaging with online sellers. Do not be easy targets of scammers,” he added.
MIAA issued a statement after an online post claimed that lost pieces of luggage were being sold. The agency and the airline operators have clear and established protocols in the safekeeping and disposal of lost or left-behind items.
“Selling these items online is certainly not one of them,” MIAA said.
