Warning! This is another credit card scam. VISA CARDHOLDER*DO NOT EVEN CLICK THE LINK IN THE EMAIL! You can bet it automatically phishes your info, downloads malicious software, etc* let me make this clear-this is not from visa!!! This is from a scammer! Do not go to the link! I copied and pasted the link, and it is registered in taiwan! The link I copied only showed up as "please click here to verify your identy", but I just put my mouse over it I DID NOT CLICK IT, AND PLEASE DON'T YOU CLICK IT EITHER, and i just copied the sentence displayed on the link, went to who is domain lookup, and deleted the portion that said redirect etc etc and only put in the http for the site it leads you to. It is from taiwan. I am going to copy and paste the email they send you, that I got. If you get any email from a "credit card" company that asks you to go to a site and "verify" your info, discard immediately. I myself am repoting it to the fbi's fraud website. A credit card company wil never, never, never email you and tell you to go to a site and "verify" your information!!! It is against the law and all credit cards publicly warn you to never enter your info from a link from an email because they will never, ever ask you something like this over email!!! They, by law, have to call you for this information, and even then, i would hang up and go get the card's phone number off the card itself and call and ask them if they actually need your card info, or if there is a scam going around!!! Always do this any time someone calls you and tells you that you need to "verify" info for "fraud protection", or for any other reason. Just say, well, I'm going to go and call my card's phone number off the back of my card, and I will ask them if this is actually needed. They will quickly either1-try to offer you a different "direct" or "faster" number DO NOT CALL IT, 2-or cuss you out 3 or hang up on you. ALWAYS call directly from the number on the back of your card only, and NEVER reply to ANY email from anyone claiming to be your credit card service!
Here is the email. Note at the bottom how they say to go to visa.com for privacy policy in just a further attempt to look real, lol
