Comments: |
- Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at MasterCard by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- MasterCard never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
- 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.

Dear Customer,
We are currently upgrading our security system to ensure the safety of your financial information.
In order for your MasterCard to continue to be active, you need to verify and enroll your card
into the new 3D Security Token within the next 48hrs.
Once you have enrolled your card, it will not be disabled and will continue
as normal. Failure to enroll your MasterCard into the new security system will lead to deactivation
of your card ...
