Visa Phishing Alert
Another phishing attempt has surfaced. This time, the fake emails appear to be coming from Visa Card Support.
The fake message states that a new secure code has been introduced by Visa to protect your data from hackers. They want the email recipients to click on a link to update their profile.
Visa has acknowledged that this email is a fake and the website that is linked to from the email message has been taken down. This email is yet another example of "phishing" - an email scam that is trying to trick you, the consumer, into revealing your personal information through a fake website.
DON'T BE FOOLED. You should NEVER, EVER respond to emails requesting your personal information, nor should you ever enter your personal information into a website linked to from an email. Legitimate companies, including Corning Credit Union and our business partners, would never send an e-mail requesting your confidential information. If you do receive an email like this from ANY vendor that you do business with, including Corning Credit Union, do not divulge your personal information and call them using their published phone number.
