Beware - Fake airline refund website
I thought this article published today at Head for Points was worthy of a repost here. Seems a scam circulating to catch the unsuspecting who might be seeking help obtaining a refund from (in the case Vueling) an airline.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I've booked flights for myself and my 1 yr old daughter to visit family in NYC. Using skyscanner I found return flights for £210.

Country in lockdown but Ryanair won't offer anything as flight went ahead.
Hi all! Spent c.£250 on flights to Austria and back early December.
