-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at VISA by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- VISA never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://usa.visa.com/personal/security/vbv/ index.html".
-
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.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual VISA URL. Do not be fooled!

|
Since the 1st of June all the online stores participating in Verified by Visa
will not accept for online transactions Visa cards not registered in Verified
by Visa. Be sure to activate your card before the 1st of June or you will not
be able to use your Visa card for online transactions.
HOW IT WORKS - VERIFIED BY VISA
Verified by Visa protects your existing Visa card with a password you
create, giving you assurance that only you can use your Visa card online.
Simply activate your card and create your personal password. You’ll get the
added confidence that your Visa card is safe when you shop at participating
online stores.
HOW IT WORKS - ACTIVATING YOUR CARD
You may activate Verified by Visa for your Visa card by entering your card
number over our secure server. If your card issuer is participating in
Verified by Visa (most issuers are) you’ll complete a brief activation process.
You’ll verify your identity, create your Verified by Visa password and you’re
done.
HOW IT WORKS - SHOPPING WITH VERIFIED BY VISA
Your card is automatically recognized.
Once your card is activated, your card number will be recognized whenever you
purchase at participating online stores. You’ll enter your password in the
Verified by Visa window, your identity will be verified, and the transaction
will be completed.
NOTE
If you already have your personal password with Verified by Visa but nevertheless
got this email, you must go through the activating process again as
the last activation of your Visa card had not been done properly.
Check availability and activate your Visa card over our secure server:
