Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at MasterCard by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- MasterCard never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "http://www.mastercard.com/us/personal/en/ cardholderservices/securecode/update.html".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual MasterCard URL.
