I answered my cell and the person said they were from American Airlines and asked how I was. I said fine, and they asked if I remembered filling out something to win a vacation and I said no, then the caller hung up on me

On Saturday February 4, 2017 I received a phone call on my cell phone. The caller, a male with a heavy foreign accent, said: "This is ……from American Airlines" (I couldn’t understand the name he said). I responded;"Yes?" and the caller immediately hanged up. This sounds very similar to the "Can you hear me?" scam that it’s going around where they try to get people to answer "yes". That’s why I decided to report it to the Fairfax County Police and they ask me to report it to the ScamPulse.com scam tracker. The phone number of the caller was 703-973-0231. When I called that number there was a message that said "the wireless caller you are trying to reach is not available" …obviously it wasn’t American Airlines.

I was approached at JFK airport on December 23, 2016 by an American Airlines sales person who offered a round trip ticket anywhere in the US if I opened a AAdvantage credit card right then, which I did. She took all my information, run a credit check, waited until I got approved and gave me a receipt saying I’d be getting my card in the mail.

Today I called AA to redeem my round trip ticket and no one in the organization has any knowledge of such an offer.
