Dear Sir/Madam,

We were informed that your 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 card number.
To avoid and prevent any 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. This
program is free and it will help us to investigate this accident.

[FORM]

Sincerely yours, Visa Support Assistant, Alwin Desagun.

Gosh. Visa must really be hurting these days, what with them being unable to find anyone to compose their important emails in grammatical English. All that fraud must be taking its toll - I'll get right on filling out that form...
