Visa Anti-Fraud (corroborationstdw2@inbox....visabusinessmail...net
We have detected suspicious activity in your business Visa account.
Please click here ("here" was a hyperlink) to view suspicious activity
Your Case ID is: (about a 16 digit number)
Look for unexpected charges or questionable activity, and if you see anything suspicious,don't wait to act.
This added security is to prevent any additional fraudulent charges from taking place on your account.
I didn't click on anything, called the number on the back of my Visa and they said this was a scam
and if there was anything hinky going on with my account, they would contact me by phone.

It's called phishing. I sent a copy to chase fraud dept, and another to AOL, the ISP provider.

Even if you think it's legit, don't use the link and log on regular. If the message is legit, you'll see it in messages after you log on.
