Verified By Visa Banking Incident Phishing Scam

Tweet

I hope that you will be aware of some emails that are circulating and purporting to be from Verified by Visa, claims that, due to multiple failed attempts to access the recipient's account, the account holder must confirm account information within 48 hours or the account will be suspended indefinitely. In fact, the email is a phishing scam designed to steal private information from recipients. Those who follow the link in the scam email will be taken to a bogus webpage that asks them to provide credit card details and other personal information via a fake form. Please stop whatever course of action recommended in the email, ignore and delete the email. Visa will not send Visa card holders unsolicited emails asking them to provide personal and financial details. In fact, Internet users should be very cautious of any email that asks them to follow a link or open an attachment in order to provide private information. Please share if you have receive different versions from the screen shot below. Ref: http://www.hoax-slayer.com/105-6.shtml
