image Scam: Protect your Visa card online with a personal password image
Web Fraud
This is a new email scam trying to get Visa customer account numbers at a phishing site. The site pitches a password for your Visa card online, and to activate it you must enter your card number. Yah, a sham indeed.

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.



You may activate now 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.

The clickable hyerplink takes you to the legit Visa site, but if you click the button, you're taken to the scam site:
