The post claims that the company is giving away the tickets as a means of celebrating its 70th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>However, the post is not associated with Six Flags and no tickets are being given away. It is yet another scam designed to get your personal information.<\/p>\n<p>If you click on the post, you will be taken to a website that asks you to complete a brief &#8211; and utterly pointless &#8211; survey about Six Flags.  \u00a0Your answers \u00a0will be &#8216;analysed&#8217; and, lo and behold, you will be selected to win the three free tickets. In fact, no matter what answers you supply, the outcome will be the same. The survey is \u00a0simply a smokescreen to make the prize claim seem more believable.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you will be asked to share the website via Facebook and then send a direct link to the site to 15 of your friends. If you carry out these two steps, you are in fact promoting the scam across Facebook \u00a0and playing right into the \u00a0hands of the scammers.<\/p>\n<p>After you have completed the two steps, you can then click a button, ostensibly to claim your free tickets.<\/p>\n<p>However, instead of a ticket claim form, you will be told that you must verify your entry by completing a survey. The page \u00a0will present you with a list of survey links to choose from.<\/p>\n<p>The links lead to third-party websites that offer the \u00a0chance to win prizes in exchange for participating in surveys and providing your name and contact details. However, fine print on the pages will explain that the information you provide will be shared with site sponsors and marketing firms. So, soon after participating, you will begin receiving unwanted and annoying phone calls, text messages, emails, and letters peddling various products and services.<\/p>\n<p>The scammers who created the bogus Six Flags giveaway will earn commissions each time somebody enters his or her personal details on one of the survey sites.<\/p>\n<p>And, no matter how many surveys you complete, you will never get to claim the free tickets, which never existed \u00a0in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, Six Flags is not 70 years old in 2016. The first park opened in 1961.<\/p>\n<p>Six Flags has been <a title=\"Six Flags Free Season Tickets Like-Farming Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/six-flags-like-farming-survey-scam.shtml\">targeted before<\/a> in <a title=\"Six Flags Free Season Tickets Like-Farming Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/six-flags-like-farming-survey-scam.shtml\">similar scams<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: \u00a0July 20, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: \u00a0July 20, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
