Verifoed by Visa

Just had the usual bank phishing mail but slightly different, it was asking for verified by visa password to be ""changed"" Its a generic mail so how would this help them, I could understand if I was targetted specifically.
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

Perhaps it's a two part scam: after verifying your VBV password they ask you to verify your other card details too. :rotfl:0 -
Assuming the email had a link to click on, it would probably have taken you a site where you would have been invited to the enter all your account details, including your VISA account number and current VBV password."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

Its funny you should mention this today, as I've just had 4 of these emails for the first time today.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

You could easily be right, NEVER click on links on emails anyway.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Any of these that I get have the hyperlinks reported to http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ - you just have to make sure that you're reporting the real hyperlink rather than the visible one.0
