Good afternoon, unfortunately some processings have been cracked by hackers, so a new secure code to protect your data has been introduced by visa.

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.

Honestly, people stupid enough to fall for those deserve to lose their money. I wonder how many people actually did it?

This is better than when I got an IM in AOL from "Sarah from VISA" wanting me to give her my account info because there was a problem with my AOL account/credit card number. Funnything was...I was using my Discover Card to pay for AOL. After pointing that out...no response. :p Said thing is, there'd be people dumb enough to give out that information. :rolleyes:

It's funny because they still use it... even in dumb spam/fraud emails.
