Frontier Airlines warning customers about phishing emails: Here's how to protect yourself
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Frontier Airlines is warning customers about a wave of phishing emails.
That's when a scammer sends you an email designed to look like it came from a real company, like Frontier Airlines, and trick you into giving away personal information -- such as passwords and credit card numbers.
Frontier Airlines says they will not ask you to confirm a future flight or reservation this way, and it does not have you reenter or confirm credit card information.
They also won't ask you to provide payment information for a promised partial or full refund.
Here's how to respond if you get a suspicious email
- Do not click any links or buttons
- Don't enter any credit card, payment, login or personal information
- Don't reply to the message
- Only review any of your information through Frontier Airlines' official website or app.
