South African Airways warns customers of scams making the rounds

The first scam claims that customers have been “selected” to participate in a “short survey and get two South African Airways tickets” for free, with customers directed to http://saairways.com-crazytatti.site/

SAA Spokesperson, Tlali Tlali. said: “SAA’s website is www.flysaa.com. The airline is not running any competition which offers free tickets.”

A second Phishing scam targeting SAA customers is also making the rounds. This is a false URL used for phishing for personal information from customers on http://flysaa.com-airlines.site/?rvq508N.

Tlali added” “We have taken note of these latest scams circulating on social media and distributed on other channels suggesting customers have been selected to take part in a short survey ‘and get two South African Airways tickets’.”

“We distance ourselves from any communication which is misleading the public and makes false claims while pretending to be an official SAA channel, or those seeking to obtain personal information.”

The airline previously experienced such false communication hoaxes which take various forms such as false recruitment drives, enticing people to participate in competitions or seeking personal information.  These false claims are mostly prevalent on social media.
