Obvious social engineering malware ploy. No real credit card holder is going to email you about suspicious transactions - they will always call you. At least this is what has happened with me on two separate occasions. -- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they are very sophisticated idiots." - Doctor Who (from Robot)

In my opinion,Their are a lot of naive internet users out there that would install this malware and or give up their credit card numbers by reading a email that utilizes Social Engineering. --

I just have a problem of them sending details over email, which I consider insecure. I would prefer they ask me to login to their online services webpage and then give me a notification.

| Asking people to sign into a "secure" web page is, IMHO, asking for trouble. Too easy to send a phish email that looks like that and includes a "helpful" link to their spoof site.
I guess that, to me, sending the last few digits of the CC number is better than sending a likely bad web link. At least the CC number gives legitimacy as to who sent it. |
