SAA hit by another hoax

SAA has warned that a
hoax survey is doing the
rounds on social media.
This is the second scam
involving the airline in the last
two months. In December, SAA
warned the public of a hoax
inviting people to apply for a
cabin crew training programme.
The current scam is a poll
that invites clients to answer
four survey-type questions
and share the survey with ten
friends on WhatsApp to stand
a chance to win free tickets to
any destination.
SAA spokesperson,
Tlali Tlali, says: “SAA is neither
conducting an online survey
nor offering free flight tickets.
Free flight tickets are a luxury
we cannot afford at this stage
as the airline is focusing on
restoring financial stability
and is managing its costs to
improve its performance.”
SAA strongly urges clients to
ignore the survey and not to
click on the link if they receive
it. All promotional activities
are uploaded on the airline’s
website and will also appear
on its official social media
channels.
“Any person who may have
been prejudiced or suffered any
loss as a result of this hoax
is encouraged to report the
matter to the law enforcement
agencies,” says Tlali.
