The Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office yesterday issued an alert on a fraudulent email being circulated. Sheriff Rich Haskell said the bogus email looks like a “Customer Notification” that was sent from American Airlines and supposedly notifies the recipient that a “bought” airline ticket is attached and available. The email provides a link and directs the recipient to download their phony “ticket.” Haskell says If you click on the link, you’ll find yourself on a fake website that will begin requesting personal or financial information. In many instances, by clicking on the link you will be downloading spyware or a virus. Officials stressed that people should never open links contained in emails from unknown sources.
