Dear,
You may have noticed that some
limitations have been placed on your Discover
account. As a valued Discover customer, we
want to let you know what this means and how
to resolve the
situation. What
does it mean to have limited
access?  Your account may
be restricted for a number of reasons;
you'll find out when you next log in to
Discover. As a result, you'll notice that
some of the following options are now
unavailable:



Send money to other Discover
users

Request or receive money from other
users

Edit or remove account
details

Close your Discover
account

 
How do I resolve the
issue? To assist us in our
review, please log in to your account
at www.discover.com. You will see a
message explaining why your account has been
restricted, with details of what to do
next. The
account limitation process helps to maintain
Discover as a safer way. It's similar to
passing through a security checkpoint. When
we limit an account we often simply ask the
user to supply information to verify their
identity. Whats this?

Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Discover by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • Discover never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The anchor text appears as a legitimate URL, but don't be fooled - clicking on it will take you to a phishing site!


  • The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
