Just thought i would warn some of you, got a spam this morning claiming to be from Visa asking me to verify my card details, the site is very convincing but has nothing to do with Visa.

It's a fraud site that just records any details you enter,
address i had is "http://securevisa.co.uk.e4ghgf5hggcd.com" but anything like "http://verifiedbyvisa.co.uk" will probably be it.
a quick whois revealed this email as being the site owner, robertgrohall@yahoo.com

PS. Banks don't ask you to confirm your account details online and always type addresses and not follow links.

I usually get shitty ones like that from ebay. They can be very convincing tho can't they. Cheers for the warning bud.
