Post subject: British Airways Warns of Email Scam
I got this scam email yesterday. Don't click the links in the email.
British Airways is warning about a spam email going around pretending to be from the airline. The email comes from the email address
BC.CustSrvcs@email.ba.com
and claims to be a confirmation for an upcoming flight. The email contains links to confirm the flight which are being used to collect personal information about consumers. The airline has received a number of complaints about the phishing message.
