Who wouldn’t want to win free air tickets? That is the latest phishing scam seen on Facebook and WhatsApp!
At first glance it looks good. Virgin Atlantic is celebrating 35 years and is giving away free tickets.
Look at the address closely… there’s a dot under the r! That isn’t just a dot, it’s a Greek letter, which means the address is not right! Don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t catch it, it’s very well disguised!
