The wildlife park has reported the page, which has 601 likes and 609 followers, to Thames Valley Police and Facebook.

A spokesperson from Cotswold Wildlife Park said: “Please be aware that a Facebook page called ‘Zoo Tickets’ has been fraudulently impersonating us to promote a fake ticket offer which goes on to ask for your personal details and financial information.

"We have reported them to the police, the cyber crime unit and have requested Facebook to urgently remove the fraudulent account.

"Any ads you may have seen on Facebook from ‘Zoo Tickets’, and the website that has been set up to run alongside them, are entirely fake.

"We have circulated warnings on our social media and website but please could we request that you also report these fake ads if you see them, thank you.

"If you have given ‘Zoo Tickets’ your personal and financial details, please contact your bank immediately and we strongly advise you report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 who are aware of this matter."

The Oxford Mail has approached Thames Valley Police for comment.
