Is the Federal Aviation Authority (yep, you read that correctly) trying to connect with you?
After all, they’re trying to connect with me. Check out the following screenshot of an email that just arrived to my inbox.
While I’m not an email expert, I feel pretty confident that I can ignore this email from the Federal Aviation Authority. Taking it a step further, I recommend you ignore it as well.
Ya’ll are missing the big give-away ….. there is no such thing as the Federal Aviation Authority (Administration, yes)….
The FAA doesn’t email. They snail mail. You know, because it’s a govt agency.
The real FAA DOES email. When you are interacting with the IACRA system when applying for an airman certificate or up rating. They will advise you when you have passed TSA screening and you may print your temporary certificate. Also, as a representative of FAAST since 2008, I know we do use email extensively. Just be careful out there!
You da man, Ben !
Let’s take this creep for he/she’s first parachute ride … sans parachute !
Ben, Thanks for the heads up, I am sharing this with a lot of my flying friends. Have a great weekend! KT
Phishing gets aeronautical. Who knew. Great warning, Ben. Truly useful information.
Ben, What a great starter for the day. A good warning for us trusting aviators. This looks like ransomware. Thanks!
