E-mail from American Airlines - WARNING - IT'S A SCAM
Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:17 pm
I thought that it was fishy - get it - Phishing !! - and the e-mail purporting to be from AA quoted an order number. The message on the e-mail says open the link and you have tickets and, of course, if you do - It's too late !!!
I didn't open the link - Phew
I then called AA Cargo ( I am waiting for a parcel to arrive) at Heathrow and it's been reported to the authorities here in the UK and the USA.
A year ago I was caught out by one of these fake e-mails and attracted a virus....
so I am very wary now.
So I had to have my PC sorted out online by AVG - Great service too.

No doubt the scammers got my e-mail address via AA as I fly with them from time to time.
