At least they're using a real airline now. I've gotten scammy calls/mailings in the past about free trips on American Airways, United Airways, etc.

One theory is that they do that kind of stuff intentionally, because they actually want semi-intelligent people to identify it as a scam before wasting the scammer's time. But it's still mildly amusing...
