Qantas Frequent Flyers alerted to email scam
Edited by Travel Weekly


Qantas Frequent Flyers have been warned not to click on a link that redirects them to a URL set on stealing their information in an email scam currently doing the rounds.

The email with the subject line “Qantas has sent you a Gift Coupon” claims to come from “Qantas @formresponse.com” adding “This email was sent by the organisation that owns the logo shown”.

“Qantas has sent you a Gift Coupon. Use it today or whenever you like, it never expires!” it adds.

Qantas advices never to click on links that comes from suspect sources, in this case mybluehost.me/gitf/web/.

“From time to time we are made aware of email scams and social media posts that claim to be authentic Qantas communications. These may ask customers to visit an external site and download a file or confirm customer details,” its website says.

“We will never ask customers to click a link to download a file about bookings from a website, including our own. We send important documents that relate to your booking as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files that you can download directly.”

It also advises to report the scam email to Report a scam | Scamwatch.
