Travelers beware: An army of fake airline customer service centers is flooding every corner of the internet.
They're promoted in Google search results. They're hidden behind AI-created websites. They're shown in Facebook groups, on Twitter feeds, in Quora and Reddit threads, and more. For every online platform that a traveler visits, you can be sure that representatives of these fraudulent operations are already there, too.
These bad actors have one goal: to trick you into calling their phony customer service centers. When you do, a friendly person pretending to work for the airline will greet you. Soon, this fraudster will inform you of a problem you did not even know you had with your reservation. But no worries, it can easily be fixed, they'll tell you … for a fee.
