Possible Scam easyjet?

[( |-| |2 ][ $]

I've justed recieved the following email forwarded to me from someone I don't know.

Obviously I know I'm not going to be typing my details anywhere. Has anyone else seen this before? It's worrying as they've used my real name and matched it up with my email address.

Important information


No tickets.easyJet is a ticketless airline, and your booking is now confirmed. You do not need to contact us before flying to re-confirm your travel arrangements.


Check-in information.Check-in desks open two hours ahead of the flight's scheduled departure, and close promptly 40 minutes before the flight is scheduled to leave. If you're late, you will forfeit your seat and no refund will be offered.


Passports and ID.Approved photographic ID is required on all flights, including domestic services.


Pack safely!Take care when you pack your bags. No dangerous goods may be taken in baggage, and some other items may only be carried in certain parts of the aircraft. New security measures in the EU strictly limit what you can carry in your hand baggage; these limitations are currently subject to change at short notice.


Baggage policy.Each hold bag is charged at £18.00 per bag at the airport. Each passenger is entitled to carry 20 kg of hold baggage spread over a maximum of 8 hold bags.. Extra weight may be purchased during the booking process, otherwise excess weight fees will be payable at the airport if the total weight exceeds 20 kg. If you need to take more bags than you have currently booked, please add the relevant charges to your booking. Purchasing additional bags does not increase your weight allowance.

Baggage allowance.Each paying passenger may take one standard piece of hand baggage, dimensions 56x45x25. The number of standard checked-in hold baggage stated for your booking must weigh no more than 20kg in total. The 20kg hold bag weight allowance (per passenger) does not increase with the addition of further hold bags. Extra weight may be purchased during the booking process. Additional charges payable at the airport will apply if you exceed the pre-paid weight limit.


Free seating.easyJet does not allocate seats, and you can choose where to sit when you board the aircraft. The aircraft is boarded in priority order, however, so the earlier you check in, the more choice you will have! With Speedy Boarding and Speedy Boarding Plus you get the best choice of seats but we can’t allow you to reserve seats for fellow travellers who haven’t paid for this service – we want all our passengers to have the freedom to choose where they sit.


Specific needs and access requirements.Please inform us of any specific needs or access requirements by adding a request to your booking online or by calling the contact centre. Passengers with specific requirements should check in no later than 90 minutes before the scheduled departure time..


Need to change your booking?
You can change passenger names or alter itinerary details online, 24 hours a day! Online changes save you money too - a discount of £10 per passenger per flight on the administrative fee charged over the phone.

Conditions of contract
Carriage is subject to the applicable tariffs, Terms and Conditions, and related regulations which are available on this site or free of charge on application at the office of the carrier. Carriage hereunder is subject to the rules and limitations relating to liability established by the Montreal Convention.
Important notice
If the passenger's journey involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country other than the country of departure, the Montreal Convention may be applicable and the Convention governs and in most cases limits the liability of carriers for death or personal injury and in respect of loss or damage to baggage.

Contact Easyjet and ask whats going on?

 

[( |-| |2 ][ $]

I'm going to, I hope someone isn't flying around using my details.

 

[Casdawer]

Well the flight is booked.

It's worth emailing the guy. Do you know anyone else in that list?

 

[Abraham]

have you booked a flight...? if not then ignore it, most fishing emails I receive have my name on them

 

[jamief]

Sounds like someone has booked a flight, one of their party has the same name as you (and possibly a very similar email address?) and the "booker" has emailed you in error.

 

[Smit]

Yep really looks like you have a free flight to Amsterdam

Yes that appears to be it.

 

[Casdawer]

E-mail the guy back and let him know.

 

[Clum]

i guess it all comes down to whether or not you have booked a flight to Amsterdam or not?!

If not maybe one of your mates has book you on as a surprise or something?

 

[timmy222]

Let me help you with spocks help

Did I book flight? = no
Then it has been sent to me in error or it is a scam.
Did I book flight = yes
Then not scam or error.

 

[Greebo]

I guess you have flown with Easyjet in the past?

If so then their system has matched up your details with the guy who is really flying with the same name.

Simple mistake.

Either email them to let them know they have the wrong person or ignore it.

 

[Wicksta]

Is your mail account on gmail or something else like that? I have my first initial and surname as my gmail account (eg. [email protected]) and I get loads of emails I shouldn't get which were meant for other 'jsmith's including mails from banks, credit card companies, forums etc. etc.

 

[hanson185]

Since when did Easyjet start using email adressess such as "[email protected]" in short its a scam, remeber if you get an email claiming you've won something without entering any competetion or booked a flight even tho you haven't then you should just ignore it.

It's not a scam, the flight has been booked - it will be an error (probably by the person booking the flight). Blackhole is a descriptive email address telling you not to bother replying to it.

Edit: do a search on blackhole@easyjet and there are loads of hits as it's an address they use.

 

[Duke]

Turn up and take the flight.

 

[Morgoth]

Looks like you're going on holiday.

 

[hanson185]

Perhaps its part of their new inter-galatic shuttle journeys ( blackhole @easyjet ) XD

 

[Kristoph]

Perhaps someone from that party booked the flights for everyone and forwarded it on to an incorrect email address instead of the guy with your name.

It says its a forwarded message, so I'm guessing Eddie Cahill booked the flights and passed on the e-tickets.
