Center Parcs removes X account from website after fake account set up

An IT consultant took charge of the Center Parcs UK's handle after the firm deactivated its account.

Mr Lennon was looking to book a holiday with Center Parcs but changed his mind after he discovered the company was still linking to the dead X account from its website.
