Southwest Airlines is known for it’s cheap deals — but could a deal to fly for free be too good to be true? Read on.
“Southwest Airlines celebrating 50th anniversary by providing 2 free tickets to everyone!” states a headline circulating on Facebook on soutwest-air.com.
Facebook users flagged the post as being potentially fabricated, as part of the social network’s efforts to combat fake news. A Southwest Airlines spokesman, Dan Landson, confirmed that it is a scam.
The phony website promotes a deal that promises that viewers have been “selected to take part in our short survey to get 2 Free Southwest Airlines Tickets! We only have 332 Tickets remaining so hurry up!”
Upon completion of the survey participants get a message: “Congratulations! You won 2 Free tickets at Southwest Airlines!”
But don’t expect those tickets to ever arrive.
