Delta Air Lines issues fraudulent e-mail alert advisory

If you didn't purchase a ticket on Delta Air Lines within the past 24 hours, then think twice before opening an e-mail that says you did.

Delta Air Lines released an advisory on its Web site that alerts consumers of fraudulent e-mails claiming that the recipient has purchased a Delta ticket. The e-mail warns consumers that their credit card has been charged and the receipt is attached. The attachment, according to Delta, may “may contain potentially dangerous viruses or other malware that may harm your computer.”

Delta Air Lines is assuring consumers that Delta customers’ credit cards have not been charged as a result of the e-mails. Delta officials do not believe that any personal information was used to generate these e-mails. For more information, visit the Delta.com Web site (www.delta.com).
