A fresh campaign fake Southwest Airlines free ticket scam has made its way onto Facebook again, this time as an event invite spammed within the network.
Southwest Airlines is giving two tickets to any destination within the United States! To grab yours, just visit [URL here]
Based on the bit.ly data of the URL, it is highly likely that this scam has been going around since the 14th of this month.
Once users click the shortened URL, they are redirected to a page where, purportedly, they can claim their free two tickets to the US. The page claims that the offer is only available for a certain period, suggesting that interested parties must act now or else miss this opportunity.
