A BABY boomer who thinks he is a member of the greatest generation has been tricked by a poorly-executed Facebook scam for the second time.
Roy Hobbs, who believes that millennials lack a strong work ethic, has entered his personal details into the Facebook page of Britishh Airways1, including his mother’s maiden name.
The ‘competition’ offers a prize of two first class tickets to Antarctica, a destination to which the real British Airways does not fly and which does not have a commercial airport.
Hobbs said: “Usually, of course, I would not enter competitions. I prefer to get things by sheer hard work just like the rest of my generation. But I’ve always wanted to go to the South Pole and see the penguins.
“I have a gold plated pension from a job it was impossible to fire me from, so I deserve it.”
Hobbs was previously scammed by a competition on the ‘Barklay’s Bank’ page, which required users to enter their bank details into a special lottery to win £50,000.
