Midwest Airlines Warns E-Mail Users to be Wary of Phony E-Mails
MILWAUKEE, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Midwest Airlines today warned e-mail
users that a phony e-mail ticket confirmation is being sent out under the
company's name.
The sample e-mails Midwest has received thank the recipient for using
the airline's "Buy flight ticket Online" service, provide an account login
and password, and indicate a credit card charge. They include an attachment
called "E-ticket." The e-mails also contain spelling and grammar errors.
The e-mails are not originating from Midwest, according to airline
officials. Actual e-mails from the company are the result of
customer-initiated ticket purchases and contain information the customer
will recognize.
Recipients are urged to delete the e-mail without opening the
attachment and to check their credit card to make sure it has not been
charged.
Midwest said that its Corporate Security and Information Technology
departments are aggressively investigating the source of the phony e-mails.
Midwest Airlines features jet service throughout the United States,
including Milwaukee's most daily nonstop flights and best schedule to major
destinations. Catering to business travelers and discerning leisure
travelers, the airline earned its reputation as "The best care in the air"
by providing passengers with impeccable service and onboard amenities at
competitive fares. More information is available at
