Its not really weird when you think of it , cause frauds/scams related to this currency are common , so they also are closely monitoring miles/awards transactions
Banks, credit cards issuers, good online shops, etc.... are doing it and you probably never thought the same about it
If transactions are fraudulous then AFKL will "
to some extent" be reliable for that , and if it gets out of control it will be a PR nightmare and customers will start to avoid FB, and keep in mind that FFPs are the cashcows of todays airlines

Good for you and your spouse, but the message i wanted to send was to keep my words as caution/warning that it could happen , and possible solutions to avoid it
We dont work in the fraud department of FB , so we dont know the exact criterias which are raising an alert ; but for sure we have (and will again) seen such cases many times and they all have similar vibe/pattern
What are the chances for you to be concerned ? No idea; not 100% but not 0% for sure , even though it must be very low but same as the lottery , tomorrow can be your lucky day
