Although saying that, having posted it, the hovering over the link and pressing it goes to what seems to be AA's website.
Wonder how that is..... ?
I think I scammed myself! |

I assume that the scam here is to then take it on yourself to email the address with your problem.
I haven't checked the email address.
Edit: email address looks OK too. |

^^^^^^^^No doubt you did! Try this emoticon:-
Seriousley though, the site is way too elaborate to be a fake, secure payment and all the other stuff.
Spam, maybe, Scam, not so much.

Yes, quoting myself, in the same post!
Shouldn't say that, someone'll only prove me wrong.

Sounds like they are a service that might be sending the spam/adverts for AA UK. I doubt it is a scam.

Nah I'm pretty sure it is a scam. They will tell you how great airline miles are... Sure use them to book a flight. As long as your ok with a 6 hour lay over in Atlanta then they are great... |
