Southwest rewards ?SCAM

[dpratt68]

I received an email today that said it was from Southwest rewards and that we won 2 comp tickets/no blackout dates...click this link to claim. I'm suspicious but don't know where to check it out. I haven't opened it. Hate to pass it up if it is legit.

What's the link? Scams can usually be detected by examining where they direct you.

I would be very suspicious of that URL.

I agree, I wouldn't even click on that link. I found this about the domain though....

Input interpretation:
wheelfrog.com (domain)
Registered host information:
organization | Lanset America Corporation\nlocation | Sacramento,California,United States

Looks like they are a low cost ISP headquartered in Sacramento, CA. Obviously not SWA.

Think about this for a minute... have you flown enough segments on Southwest to qualify for a Rapid Rewards certificate? Why don't you go to the Southwest website and view your Rapid Rewards account. Any certificates earned will be listed there.

If it's legit, it's probably one of those deals where you have to complete a certain number of "offers" to claim your "free" reward.

Thanks everyone. I'm going with the theory if its too good to be true then it isn't.

I doubt it is legit... but when in doubt, just call Southwest.

It’s a scam and add that to my “Yahoo Sweepstakes” that I have won I think 14 times!!!
I am worth about 7 million according to yahoo……………


NOTHING is "free".............
