Don’t you believe it. AirAsia has warned members of the public to be beware of this promotion scam circulating on social media.
It claims AirAsia is giving away 240 shopping vouchers worth S$500 (RM1,590) each. It is not known whether the scam is directed only at those in Singapore or Malaysia as well.
On Facebook, the airline warns people the scam directs to a link www.airasia.com-voucher4u.com/ and requires participants to answer five questions to redeem the vouchers.
However, clicking on this address today takes one to a page that says: “This Web page is parked FREE, courtesy of GoDaddy.” It offers deals to buy domains on the Web.
“AirAsia would like to confirm this is a scam, which uses the AirAsia brand without authorisation, to lure the public to participate in its scheme.
“We strongly advise the public to disregard such scams and not to click on any links or to provide any personal details.
“AirAsia shall not be held liable for any claims pertaining to the false scheme.”
It said all promotions by AirAsia are only through its official channels on airasia.com as well as other reliable and authorised channels, which the airline advertises in.
“We will not hesitate to take legal action against individuals or groups who organise illegal schemes using the AirAsia brand.”
