VISA SCAM SPAM: Check out this one that just crossed my in-box:
Dear Sir/Madam,


We were informed that your credit card is used by another person or stolen. It could happen if you have been shopping on-line, and someone got your "Billing information" including your credit card number. To avoid and prevent any further fraud and billing mistakes and to refund your credit card, it is strongly recommended to proceed filling in the secure form on our site and applying for our Zero Liability program. Program is free and it will help us to confirm the fact of fraud and investigate this accident as soon as possible.

Sincerely yours, Visa Support Assistant, Alwin Desagun.
Is it legit? Of course I had my suspicions. The IU Credit Union concurs as does the author of Fractal Meandering (scroll down to "This Just In"). How do the folks that attempt these scams sleep at night? What do they say when someone they meet asks them what they do for a living? Argh!
