Tell me my computer does not have spyware! After writing so many posts on Visa Electron Card, I received the following email which was sent from Visa with the Subject line: Notification from Visa Credit Cards
Firstly, I DO NOT have a VISA credit card but it did give me a scare for a second there until I read the email carefully and found that the English isn't "right". Also, I will never click on a URL that starts with numbers especially for financial sites.
The email did not address me by name and did not even have my email address because it was sent to a mailing list, I bet. Phishers need to try harder because internet users are more careful now especially with sensitive financial information.
