Confirming False Plane Tickets

Consumer Reports recently documented a case in which people were receiving messages to click and “confirm” plane ticket reservations they had not actually made.

When looking to access links—even if no reservations were made but curiosity wins out—type the URL directly into the browser rather than blindly clicking from the email.
