Suspicious Email
Dec. 22nd, 2005 09:00 pmI received the following email today, I've substituted "[a number]" or "[a word]" for potentially damaging info:
I've forwarded it to abuse@paycom.net but I'm a little worried that someone may have hacked my Visa account ... though I try to be careful where I use it online.
Has anyone out there received a similar email?

I am now feeling quite belligerant ... although Visa were really helpful.
