Supposedly, the giveaway is part of \u00a0the \u00a0airline&#8217;s 88th-anniversary celebrations and the company is giving EVERYONE free tickets. The post includes \u00a0an image depicting one of the supposed free tickets. It urges you to click to get your tickets.<\/p>\n<p>However, the post has no connection whatsoever to Southwest Airlines and clicking it will certainly not get you any free flight tickets. There are no tickets and no winners. The scam \u00a0first tries \u00a0to trick you into spamming your Facebook friends with the same bogus \u00a0giveaway.  \u00a0It then entices you to \u00a0submit your personal information on \u00a0suspect third-party \u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153survey&#8221; websites.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the post in the hope of getting your free tickets, you will be taken to a fraudulent \u00a0website that asks you to provide answers to a pointless survey about your recent airline travel. \u00a0 \u00a0The answers you give do not matter. \u00a0The site&#8217;s fake \u00a0analysing process will always find \u00a0that you have indeed won the free air \u00a0tickets. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>You will then be asked to share the page on \u00a0Facebook and post the \u00a0comment &#8220;Thanks #SouthWest Airline!&#8221;  \u00a0You will also be instructed to click a Facebook like button.<\/p>\n<p>By tricking people into spamming the fake prize giveaway across Facebook, the scammers know that they will gain many more victims.<\/p>\n<p>After sharing, liking, and commenting, you can then \u00a0click the ticket claim button. But, you will still not get to claim your air tickets. Instead, you will be told that you must first validate \u00a0your claim by filling in one or more surveys. A pop-up window will provide you with a list of links to various surveys.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0links open websites that offer \u00a0the chance to win further prizes in exchange for filling in surveys and providing your name and contact details. But, fine print on the sites will state \u00a0that, by supplying your information, you are giving permission for the sites to share your details with online marketing firms.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, soon after participating, you will begin receiving unwanted phone calls, text messages, emails, and surface letters that try to sell you a range of products and services.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0scammers will earn commissions each and every time a \u00a0person supplies his or her details on one of the survey sites.<\/p>\n<p>And, no amount of participation \u00a0will ever get you the promised tickets, which never existed in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Scams like this one are <a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/what-is-a-facebook-survey-scam\/\">extremely common<\/a>. New versions appear on Facebook every day. Be wary of any post or Facebook Page that promises valuable prizes just for sharing, liking, and filling in surveys.<\/p>\n<p>\n<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>\n<h2>A screenshot of the scam web page:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8965\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/get-two-free-southwest-tickets-facebook-survey-scam\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,659\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3-300x247.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8965\" src=\"https:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3.jpg\" alt=\"Southwest Airline Scam Web Page\" width=\"800\" height=\"659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3-768x633.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3-500x412.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/southwest-giveaway-scam-2017-7-3-585x482.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/get-two-free-southwest-tickets-facebook-survey-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/get-two-free-southwest-tickets-facebook-survey-scam\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: \u00a9Boarding2N\/depositphotos.com Last updated on July 15, 2017 Outline: Post being distributed on Facebook claims that everyone can click to get two free Southwest Airlines tickets.
