That's an IP number assigned to dynamic IP ADSL users...

It redirected me to http://visa.com

Right but that pop-up is not from there site, they have a main server wich is in the us.

 

[MarkK]

Very clever indeed, people think oow it's fine.. while it's not caus the popup is loaded right before it redirects, hehe.

 

[bozley05]

You know it is fake when you get "Dear [brand] client" rather than "Dear [username]" or "Dear [First Name]"... That's my number 1 tip for detecting frauds, plus the IP kinda gives it away, a corporation would never do that.
