I received an e-mail this afternoon from what looks like a very official Visa site regarding my credit cards. Below is a copy of the e-mail and there was also an HTML attachment that they wanted you to click on. Of course I did not click on the attachment and I called my card issuing bank. The bank connected me with Verify by Visa and they verified that there was nothing wrong with my cards and this was another phishing expedition. Note the spelling error in the last line of text, appreciate has 2 p's and not 1.
Beware and do NOT open or click on any attachments.
