I booked a flight online, entered all info, paid. Just before I was leaving, I received an email from
[email protected]
with the correct flight number, day and time and the reservation code. It asked me to click on the email to enter passport info. I am always suspicious of emails that say to click straight through the email. I get these from scammers pretending to my bank often. So I went to my account at the airline and checked that my passport info was entered, and it was. I called the airline and they didn't know anything about such email and said all my info was ok. I then reported the incident to any government organizations I could.
I searched the email address and found many scams associated with it.
I took the flight and had no problems. A month later, I received a call from one of the government offices I had contacted, saying that they looked into it and the email was really from the airline and not a scam. I searched the address again and the same types of scams came up and on the search page I could see the email address I was searching, but when I clicked on those sites, there was no mention of any scams involving that email address.
I am wondering if anyone has ever received an email from this address and if it was really from Air France or if it was any kind of scam. I am wondering if scammers can use actual email addresses from real companies to scam customers and if the companies or the scammers can later erase all the evidence.
