Emirates warns flyers on new ticket scam

If you get a message on Facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp about Emirates promising free flights, be wary – it is a scam. Social media users are being warned of a viral message that is currently going around. It claims that Emirates has a new promotion that offers flyers a chance to bag free airfares in time for the airline’s anniversary. According to the airline, the social media post is a scam. “We are not giving away tickets,” a spokesperson said on Sunday. Emirates has not provided any further details about the latest scam, but according to OnlineThreatAlerts, fraudsters are again sending out fake messages, telling Internet users that Emirates is celebrating its 32nd anniversary and distributing two free air tickets to 500 lucky customers.<br/>
