An email comes in asking to update your credit card for interswitching (guessing it's a credit card company or something) but it points you to the wrong site:

interswitchng.com

Reporting them atm....


-----------------------------

Dear Interswitch Card Holder,

During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures with affiliated banks(below), we have detected a slight error in your account information.

This might be due to either of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).
2. Multiple failed attempts on online shopping websites.
3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our processors.

Please update and verify your information by clicking the link below:

https://webpay.interswitchng.com/webpay/

If your account information is not updated within 48 hours then your ability to access your account will become restricted.

Note: Card Number (printed on card issued by bank) and Pin are numeric. Refer to your Debit and/or Cash Cards.

Thank you for choosing, Interswitch.

Yeah after the paypai.com scam there are many sites like this. Many also register names like vusa.com or viza.com to grab typos...they do get shutdown usually quick, but the damage is done.
