Free Tickets on Delta – A Facebook Scam

Matthew Klint Posted onNovember 29, 2017November 14, 2023 5 Comments

Online scams are nothing new…but one keeps rearing its ugly head. No, Delta is not giving away free tickets. If you see an advertisement on Facebook that looks too good to be true…it is.

Although this has been going on for years, different variations of the same scam continue to appear. On Facebook you’ll see an ad that looks something like this–

a ticket with a barcode and date

or this:

a plane with seats and windows

And if you click through (don’t do it, I did it for you), you’ll be taken to a survey page. Note the date in the screenshots below. I just took these pictures moments ago.

Telltale sign…grammar errors. It’s should be its. And what a goofy question anyway.

Are you satisfied by Delta “Airline”? It’s Air Lines…

Once you answer the three question, you will see the following:

Don’t share. The magic free tickets don’t come. Instead, you personal information and that of your contacts and friends may be compromised.

How Delta Will Contact You

Delta will only contact you via its official channels. Official Delta Air Lines pages can be found at:

  • delta.com
  • facebook.com/delta
  • facebook.com/deltaairlinesbrasil
  • twitter.com/delta
  • twitter.com/deltanewsroom
  • google.com/+delta
  • youtube.com/DeltaAirLines
  • pinterest.com/deltaairlines
  • linkedin.com/company/delta-air-lines
  • takingoff.delta.com/
  • Instagram @delta

CONCLUSION

Consider this offer like the gracious notes from your long-lost Nigerian friend that often arrive in your email inbox. No, the gentleman does not need you to repatriate his millions of dollars. And no, Delta is not giving away free tickets. Ever. If you see something like this on Facebook, report the post.

    they had those “2 free tickets” scam for every single major airline, or those “rayban sunglasses at 99% off” crap

    and i can’t believe a few of my acquaintances actually fell for the blatant BS. it’s even more obvious than a “nigerian banker” offering to wire $10 million.

      You Could have used a different example than your “Nigerian friend” though how about The “60 something year old WHITE man who employs African youths saying he’s a Nigerian prince” remember that one? Yeah? Next time be alot more sensible about what you write, there might be truth to it but this is 2018, apply some common sense to writing articles next time

    It’s funny because my parent’s generation (in their 50s) and above always told kids to be skeptical of the Internet and not to share personal information, yet, on average, they are the ones who fall for these scams.

    The latest of the “greatest” generation are even worse about it. Lol talk about an entire generation that feels entitled… it ain’t millennials.

    you need an “s” :

    “Once you answer the three question~~~~, you will see the following:”

    you need an “r” :

    “Instead, you~~~~ personal information and that of your contacts and friends may be compromised.”
