Northwest Airlines (NYSE:NWA) has released a warning to customers about fake e-mails being circulated.

The e-mails include fake ticket confirmation and enrolment information relating to the new service "Buy flight ticket Online" on Northwest's website. They also state that an account has been set up, and give details of this.

It is thought that opening attachments in these e-mails will infect the user's computer with a virus.

The airline has stated that the e-mails contain spelling and grammatical mistakes and said that, should customers receive such e-mails, they should be deleted immediately.
