"These messages may claim that you have purchased a Delta ticket, a credit card has been charged, order has been completed, an invoice/receipt is attached to an email or website may offer free flights for following or liking an account," they point out.
"If you see or receive one of these messages, do not open attachments as it may contain potentially dangerous viruses or harm your computer.

These messages did not originate from Delta, nor do we believe that any personal information that you provided us was used."
