Fake customer service accounts

Hi all - have you come across a suspicious account purporting to be a major brand, trying to offer you customer service on social media?

I’ve seen a few of these accounts impersonating major airlines and reaching out to aggrieved customers who are trying to engage with the airline’s official account on Twitter/X. They’re often asking for people’s names and phone numbers, but I’m curious what else they’re trying to get out of people.

So, let me know if you’ve had any interactions with these suspicious profiles, how they played out and what information you were asked to provide or actions you were urged to take. Thanks!
