Indeed !! .... it may actually be overdone. That number 800-759-8722 is the real USAA phone number: »www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=800-759-8722+

Did the Visher screw up and put their number instead of a Vish number??

Clearly the email originated from Slovenia:

Maybe you can watch for a seconf "corrected" email with a revised number. I assume you do not have a USAA account.
