American Airlines Warns of Phishing Ploy

Via The SunSentinel.com.

American Airlines has warned members of its AAdvantage frequent flier program of a phishing scheme that uses a bogus AAdvantage Web site to reap personal financial information, which can be used in identity theft and other financial fraud.

The message offers $50 for completion of a survey.

Clicking on the link redirects computer users to a Web site in Russia, American spokesman Tim Wagner said.

The link should not be opened, and the e-mail deleted, American said.
