Yes there is that, I just thought I'd let you do all the hard work of typing it out
My point was that most credit card fraud takes place through transactions that don't require the CV2.
The email is one of those haox type chainmail letters that you *must* forward on (hmm reminds me of the Irish virus asking you to manually forward it on to everyone in your contacts and then delete all your own files). Remember the one where someone would phone you and tell you to type *#98# or whatever into your mobile which would *somehow* give that person the ability to call out on your bill, so you *must* forward the email to everyone you know incase they get called and fall for it?
Another point about the mail, the price that the caller says has been deducted in the transaction is the exact amount allegedly taken once the CV2 has been given.
