Warning: Phishing emails in AY's name

This morning, I received an email with the heading "Olen yrittänyt saada sinuun yhteyttä", ie. "I've tried to contact you". Sender Finnair. Even if the heading sounded a little strange, I opened the email (remembering that "Janica from Kajaani" does write pretty informal messages from time to time). There's an image with an AY plane and some AY gift cards and an AY-like font saying in good Finnish that you can win a €1000 gift card by answering a consumer survey. It all appears pretty legit and as if sent by AY.

The true sender is contact (ät) the24sweet.com and the link would take you to the same web page. So beware!
