Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at VISA by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • VISA never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual VISA URL.

You should check your card balance and in case of suspicious transactions immediately contact your card issuing bank.

If all transactions are alright, it doesn't mean the card is not lost and cannot be used. Probably, your card issuers have not updated information yet.
That is why we strongly recommend you to visit our web-site and update your profile, otherwise we cannot guarantee stolen money repayment.
Thank you for your attention.
