RISK LEVEL
MEDIUM
WARNINGS

1. Email informs a payment has been made using their card that may be fraudulent. Victims are requested to 'confirm' the payment by visiting a spoof webpage where details are captured and forwarded to a local script. Scam relies on 'panicing' the victim into giving away their details without thinking!

2. Capital One never send users emails requesting details in this way.

 

" We recently received a request from one jewelry shop in WorldTradePlazza Rome, ITALY to enable the charge of $249,65 on your card."

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
