The latest online scam offers individuals the chance to win two free tickets with Emirates airline, once they complete a ‘short survey’.

Emirates has warned it’s customers not to click on or share any of these links

Those who click on the link are invited to complete a survey and instructed to share the link with others in order to claim their free tickets.
