Northwest Airlines is warning e-mail users that an e-mail
containing phony ticket confirmation and enrollment information is being sent
using the Company's name. The e-mails are suspected of containing a virus that
infects users' computers when they open attachments. The bogus e-mail thanks
the recipient for using the new service "Buy flight ticket Online" on
the airline's website. It states an account has been set up and gives the
e-mail user an account number and password. It also tells the user how much his/her
credit card has been charged. An attachment is supposed to be the invoice and
ticket but instead contains a virus that infects the user's computer once it is
opened. The e-mail also contains spelling and grammatical errors. Northwest Airlines' vice president of e-commerce, Al Lenza
says, "Customers should be aware that these e-mails are not coming from
the airline. NWA itineraries are specific and contain information that the
customer will recognize. If the format does not look familiar to you, and you
have not recently purchased a ticket, do not open the attachment. Delete the
email right away." Travel Coordinator 541-346-3158 ph 541-346-2393 fax |
