New Pushing Email, from a hacker, not Jet Blue
 
Just got an Email asking me to comfirm my trip for this weekend on Jet Blue Airlines . As I have no plans to go anywhere as long as mother is with me. I sent it to my daughter who works in the computer department of a Casino. She said if I had goine to the link that it would have tried to get the personal data from my computer. Thank goodness for our children. She had already set me up with security on my computer that would not have allowed the intrusion.
They are out there and trying everything to get away with your money.

The hackers really make me mad, even if they just mess up a computer they wreak a lot of havoc. Much easier than getting a job.

they really, really should stop calling me if they want money. I don't have any.

I got this one yesterday with attachment. Well DUH! I didn't fall off a turnip truck. It came from customer service @ indianmillsautorepair dotcom. I looked that up and it really exists--in New Jersey, but I betcha the address is fake also. Sad to think somebody will open the attachment thinking they have a free ticket to Seattle--they will pay for it in computer repairs (if only that).

Notification,

ELECTRONIC TICKET / ET-48858682
SEAT / 52F/ZONE 2
DATE / TIME 10 OCTOBER, 2014, 08:15 AM
ARRIVING / Seattle
FORM OF PAYMENT / XXXXXX
TOTAL PRICE / 249.52 USD
REF / EK.4927 ST / OK
BAG / 2PC


Your bought ticket is attached.
To use your ticket you should print it.

Thank you
Delta Air Lines.

WOW, they are sure getting sneaky with their technique.

Hey Mermaid! We got that same one from Delta Airlines. Because my husband does travel sometimes for business, and he uses my email address for confirmations, I left the computer on at that screen and went & asked my husband when he was going to tell me about his trip! No, I am not stupid enough to download this! I thought you printed the tickets immediately after you ordered them. Then he says you know I don't fly Delta! Well if I'm not with him, how do I know? So after we all calmed down, hubby checked our credit cards for charges we didn't make and he got our credit reports to see if anyone opened cards in our name. These people just bust my butt! We have to work so hard to prove the truth!!

Someone, somewhere will open the attachment. They send millions of the spams while sitting at home at the computer. So one success out of a hundred and they've profited!

Can't be too careful..

Well, I just got another e-ticket notification this morning...this one for Lake City on Oct. 2. ??? These stupid people don't even notice what day it is! This one had the "print your ticket" attachment removed by my new anti-virus. But interesting also--I called the phishers stupid..they showed I had pd for 7 pieces of luggage. I'd like to respond with a few choice descriptions of their mental status, but that would only prove to them that the address is valid. And then I would be inundated with such junk.

I got the same one from Delta!
