I got an email from a phisher/spammer pro porting to be from www.verifiedbyvisa.com

However, the URL the link goes to is actually www.verifiedbyvlsa.com

I always check links by hovering the mouse over the URL to see where it’s going, but as we read small text not letter by letter, but by word shape, the two URLs can appear to be very similar. The grammar of the email made me think it was fake too, but the URL could catch more people out if they skim-read.
