Be Aware of Suspicious Emails (Phishing Emails) Purporting to Be About Refunds From ANA
We have become aware of the existence of emails purporting to be from the ANA Group that inform recipients that they can request a refund online by entering their ANA Mileage Club membership number, credit card number and other pieces of information on what is a fake website (phishing site).
Although ANA does send information to its customers via email regarding reservations and its products/services, we do not send emails that ask you to provide information such as your credit card number or pin number.
We ask all our customers to be extremely careful when receiving emails regarding matters of which they have no knowledge.
