¿Personas de habla española objeto de fraude por Internet? Consejos de VISA

I have noticed that Spanish speaking people are being targeted by fraudsters so I think it appropriate to publish VISA Europe´s advice for them here. I have become friends, being Spanish speaking myself, with one from Venezuela and two in Mexico, the 4 of us having been approached by attractive Ukrainian ladies. I was the victim!

Correos electrónicos fraudulentos

Visa NUNCA contacta de forma directa con los titulares de sus tarjetas ni por correo electrónico, ni por teléfono o cualquier otro medio para solicitar información personal relacionada con su tarjeta. No responda a estos correos, no pinche en los enlaces que incluyan, ni, por supuesto, proporcione información personal, sobre su tarjeta Visa o sobre sus cuentas bancarias.

Si ha recibido un correo electrónico que supuestamente procede de su entidad financiera o de algún otro banco o caja de ahorros, en el que se le solicita información personal, no haga caso ni conteste, puede ser un correo fraudulento para obtener datos confidenciales. Contacte con su entidad financiera para comprobar la autenticidad del mismo.

Sitios web fraudulentos

'Phishing' es el término con el que se denominan las actividades de aquellos delincuentes que crean y utilizan correos electrónicos fraudulentos y sitios web asociados a éstos. Estos sitios web y correos electrónicos están diseñados copiando o imitando las versiones legítimas de entidades financieras o instituciones conocidas.

El objetivo de los mismos es engañar a los internáutas para que desvelen información de sus cuentas bancarias o tarjetas, o información personal (dirección de correo, nombre de los padres, nombres de usuario y contraseñas de banca online, etc.). Toda esa información es usada posteriormente con fines delictivos (robo de identidad, fraude con tarjetas, fraude en banca online, etc.)

Si ha recibido un correo electrónico sospechoso o tiene dudas sobre la autenticidad de algún sitio web, contacte con la entidad financiera emisora de su tarjeta. También puede reenviar el correo sospechoso o la dirección URL del sitio web sobre el que tenga dudas a nuestra siguiente dirección de correo electrónico: phishing@visa.com.

Visa Europe - what to do with Fraudulent emails

Fraudulent emails

If you receive an e-mail claiming to come from your bank, or any other bank, requesting personal information, do not provide the details – it could be fraudulent. Instead, contact your bank to determine whether or not the e-mail was from them.

Please be aware that Visa never contacts cardholders directly by phone or e-mail requesting personal information relating to your Visa card. For further information, please visit our Fraudulent emails and websites page.

New Release Movie: The Hurt Locker

When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever in a movie that the NY Daily News says "deserves to stand as one of the defining films of the decade."

You're recognising that certain arrangements you've struggled
unsuccessfully to sustain weren't actually worth saving. You're
now wondering why you allowed yourself to invest so much
time in them.
The answer is that you trusted those who had
an interest in keeping them afloat. Remember this when
dealing with these individuals in the future.

Ты Признавая, что определенные механизмы
вы безуспешно боролась для поддержания на
самом деле не стоит сохранить.
Ты теперь
интересно, почему вы позволили себе вкладывать
так много времени в них.
Ответом является то,
что ты надеешься, кто был заинтересован в
поддержание их на плаву.
Запомните это при
работе с этими лицами в будущем.

Office complex Dorcan Way Dorcan Swindon Wilts England Architects ASDU design John Nichols

I wanted to use glass in the circulation areas to reflect the blocks of offices.

Indiviual house at South Dorcan Swindon Wiltshire England featured in Ideal Home Magazine. Whilst I was the principal planning officer at Swindon Town Hall I had carried out the detailed design of the Eastern expansion area and on this particular area I had created a pedestrian free zone. The roads had no pavements and a pedestrian walkway/garden area ran through the center of the estate. It was unusual in that we allowed the building to be built right up to the boundary of the plot and as usual my designs featured a lot of glass, perhaps influence by Mies Van de Rohe

Another house on the South Dorcan Area at Swindon, Wiltshire England. You need a good bricklayer and luckily I think I found one for the staircase tower.
