Ok.

I got an email, from that address that said what I said it said.

In the email there was listed hundreds of peoples' names, followed by their email address, physical address, full credit card number, expiration date, security code, date they purchased something from edgeracing, amount of money the purchase was and in some instances a comment they left with the company.

I don't know why I received this, but it came from the email address noreply@visa.com and the spelling/grammar was copied directly from the email.

I just got off the phone with the Secret Service, apparently this is VERY common and doesn't necessarily mean that it's real. My credit information was real and correct, they told me to cancel the card and register with the credit bureau so that their will be a flag if someone tries to open a credit card in my name.

If you want me to check if you are on the list, give me your email and I'll let you know.

 

That email is fake. The grammar and structure is way off. Plus this:

"Pls contact the banks or the police or FBI and try to fix the problem. I just discover it but i can't do much about it since im not in USA nor an american citizen. thank you"

Not to mention the full list of others information.

But since I have ordered from them, I'll have you check anyways. Ouhei404@gmail.com

 

Yeah, no way the email is real. Its very easy to "spoof" the email address the message is sent from. Visa wouldnt be dumb enough to send out lists of other peoples information. But if they did show all of your information, then you definately want to take some actions to make sure you dont get screwed.

Also, what exactly does this have to do with EdgeRacing? Was that included in part of the email that you didnt pass along to us or what?

 

How can the email be from Visa and be from someone who isn't in the US? Like others have said, the way the email is worded very unprofessionally and I can't imiagine Visa would give out people's detailed information (you guys do have privacy laws down there, right?).

 

There is no way Visa would send out any credit card information. I'm a PCI compliance officer at work and if Visa was printing full cc's and addresses, there will be a *hit storm.

 

All I know is that my FULL NAME and FULL credit card number was in the body of this message.

It said that the group of people who ordered from a car parts website, I saw the date and amount of the purchase, went back to my bank statements and saw that the date listed I ordered a set of front tires for my civic. The amount spent on my statement and the amount in the email were identical.

Secret Service said it could be fake, someone trying to get my identity, even though they already have my credit card number, and that I should register with a credit agency or something so no one could open a card in my name, and cancel my current card.

I sent the email to my bank and they already canceled my credit card, and are sending me a new one with a new number.

 

Ouhei:

I checked that email address and didn't see it.

 

I don't believe this actually from visa, but I do know my full credit card number was in the body of the email, that's all I'm saying.

 

I'd contact Visa right away to find out.

It didn't ask for any information. I called my bank, secret service and FBI through other means.
