Scammers are setting up social media accounts impersonating easyJet to try to cash in on unhappy passengers whose flights have been cancelled.

At least 180,000 easyJet passengers have had their holiday flights cancelled after the airline culled 1,700 summer departures to and from London Gatwick. The aim is to stabilise schedules.
