A similar call was received on December 15th regarding an American Airlines charge, and upon research, it seems to be related to a Credit Union Bank
Scam call warns of fake American Airlines charge!
Summary — +18666161548
Expert Opinion
Surprisingly, the pattern shows a coordinated scam that pretends to be a credit union loss‑prevention center and cites a bogus American Airlines charge of $409. Callers rely on vague references to recent airline tickets to appear credible, then pressure victims to verify card details. The lack of a clear business name and the use of a toll‑free prefix are classic red flags. If you receive similar calls, hang up, verify any claims directly with your bank or airline using official contact channels, and never share personal or payment information over the phone. Reporting the number to your carrier can also help curb the abuse.
