Fraudulent VISA Card Transaction

DON’T FALL FOR THIS ONE!

I received the following e-mail today. I thought that with the holidays, some of you (as I almost did) would be tempted to immediately click on such an e-mail because you have likely been using your cards so much – especially for online shopping.

If you receive a similar e-mail – JUST DELETE IT.  If you are in any way concerned, please call your credit card company – they’ll be happy to let you know if your account has any suspect transactions.

If there is a phone number in the e-mail you receive *** DO NOT CALL THAT PHONE NUMBER *** CALL THE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF YOUR CARD ***
