Just got a text to my phone re. late flight from flightclaim.

In terms of phone#s - by CC (used for the booking) and the AA booking has the US# that the text came to - the BA side of things only has my UK# - which seems to imply it was a breach from the US side.

So, if you pay for a coffee at a cafe using Square, request an email receipt, then later use the same card in a taxi that uses Square, you'll likely receive an email.
Oddly though, the taxi email receipt did not come to the email associated with my CC, but another one... .
