RE: Confirm Your VISA Card Email

["Bill Royds" <full-disclosure () royds net>]

Interesting quirk in that URL. It uses a null byte (%00) to prevent display
of the rest of the URL (which points to a Korean IP), but this sometimes
causes a browser to drop the rest of the URL as well and actually go to
Visa.com. Phisher was being a bit too smart for him/herself.

http://www.visa.com/globalgateway/gg_selectcountry.html?retcountry=1 is
where the URL takes me. Looks like just a scam to harvest mail adresses. I
had something alike from ebay, just a webbug linking it to somewhere else.
Dunno of ebay has already taken action - i sent it there just to make sure.
I can;t check since you just gave the URL - not check the pics for other
link.
