Delta Airlines Email scam
I received a phishing email from Delta Airlines (or Delta Air Lines, as it is on the email), this morning that I haven’t seen before, so I thought I’d draw your attention to it. It’s obviously a scam email, but some people will open the attached zip file, particularly if they have just booked a flight to travel somewhere, without thinking.
The Delta Air Lines email had the subject line : Online order for airplane ticket N648365 and it came from a Gloria Jackson, although it used my own email address as the sender - doh! The Zip file attached was eTicket.zip (153KB)
The Delta phishing email reads:

How long do I wait to eat or drink after using this? I’d recommend 28 days for all spammers!

Is it possible to pay monthly payments at lower rates than what the credit card companies are charging me? I need some debt relief. Don’t we all, Brice. Why don’t you check out your own website, you spamming bastard? Have a nice day now…………… BM
