    just got this email


    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 you don't see any suspicious transactions, it doesn't mean that 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 website and update your profile, otherwise we cannot guarantee stolen money repayment. Thank you for your attention. Click here and update your profile.

    Its either a scam or a hoax email.

    I'm leaning twoards scam becuase its asking you to click a link and enter details.

    Ask yourself:
    Why would they email you out of the blue like this?

    Do they even have your email address?

    Why havn't you heard about this in the news?

    Lol, the grammar isn't even correct. What a pathetic scam. If anyone falls for that they deserve everything they get. Darwinism at its finest.
