CDMX hasn't been called DF in quite a while.

You may not believe it from this thread, but I'm reasonably computer savvy. I sent a new email (not a reply) to [email protected]---and got a response. Being able to do that (respond to a united.com email) would make this more sophisticated than 99% of the phishing attacks out there. Doesn't rule it out, of course, but I'm not important enough for the Russian government to try to get my CC info.
They do have an office on the Reforma, and that number does sound about right. I would be very suspicious.
