Airline scam promising free Emirates flights
WhatsApp users are being warned of a viral scam that is currently going around. The scam offers users two free Emirates flight tickets if that fill out a “fast survey”.
The link in the WhatsApp message appears to direct people to the Emirates website. However, this is not true – those who click on the link will be redirected to another hoax site.
It then asks users to take part in a fake survey. The survey asks questions such as: “Have you every travelled with Emirates” and “How often do you fly?” Once completed users are then notified that they have “won” two free tickets.
But to obtain the tickets, they have to share the survey with ten other WhatsApp users.
