What is Phishing?

Phishing is a widespread form of cyber fraud that aims to fraudulently obtain a user's bank card or other sensitive data.

A common form of phishing attack is sending fraudulent messages via email, social networks, or other communication platforms. This type of message often looks like information from a well-known source, such as a bank or any other organization you have a relationship with.

A phishing message is, in most cases, a message that urgently asks to go to an integrated link or open a file and then enter various sensitive data (password, username, card information, etc.).

To avoid phishing risks when using the VISA CONCIERGExTBC CONCEPT chatbot, please consider the following tips:

  • VISA Concierge will never initiate communication with you unless you have previously asked a question or requested some information and it returns an answer after a while.

  • VISA Concierge will only send you a payment link to enter your card data if you are applying for a service that requires payment.

  • VISA Concierge will not send you a payment link and will not ask you to enter your card data if you are just requesting information or making a reservation.

  • VISA Concierge will only contact you in the language you selected during registration, unless you request to change the language of communication.

  • Always make sure you are on the right link to enter your card details. Remember - the only link where VISA Concierge will ask you to enter your card data is buy.stripe.com
