I love these things... :D

Good afternoon, unfortunately some processings have been cracked by hackers, so a new secure code to protect your data has been introduced by Visa. You should check your card balance and in case of suspicious transactions immediately contact your card issuing bank. If you don't see any suspicious transactions, it doesn't mean that the card is not lost and cannot be used. Probably, your card issuers have not updated information yet. That is why we strongly recommend you to visit our website and update your profile, otherwise we cannot guarantee stolen money repayment. Thank you for your attention. Click here and update your profile.

One has to think though. If they send out only 1,000,000 of these and 0.1% people fall for it - that is still 1000 cards.

1000 cards at even 5K limit = 5 million bucks.

I'm in the wrong business.

Can ISPs be sued if a scammer has their website setup on the ISP? Maybe get them for being an accessory to fraud?

You'd think if an ISP was alerted than a scammer had a website setup with them that they'd shut it down right away... Maybe in a perfect world...

it would be a webhost and not an ISP in most cases. the way it works (i am an admin for a webhosting company) is that visa sends the fbi and web hosting provider a notice. the web host shuts the site down and it is between visa, the fbi, and the criminal. the hosting provider really is not involved.

That Bainbridge Island address is a private residence, worth slightly over $1 mil according to Zillow.com.
