Cyber Criminals Target Rewards, Frequent Flyer Miles
May 8, 2012
They went to cash in their travel reward points, they were shocked to find someone had beaten them to it!
Our mileage points disappeared. We were supposed to have 174,000 and we only had a little over 12,000. “
Some stranger had a pretty good time in Singapore at their expense.
Cyber criminals “use schemes to collect people’s miles and buy tickets and resell those tickets to third parties.
Some will infect the computer with malware and just steal money out of people’s accounts, directly.
Millions of travel alerts are sent via email. They have a fake confirmation code and a fake flight number.
It's a fake site and a fake corporation, and they want verification of your account. Looks real?
The scam site promises prizes and extra miles if you log into their website.
Once the crooks have that information, they can redeem the miles on their own.
