Dodgy emails

Had two of these in last 2 days. Are they just hoping I will click the web address they provide and then get scammed or do they somehow have my visa details? Haven't ordered anything online recently with any cards:

Sounds like a scam.The link may be connected to a premium rate dialer or something.Usually connected with gambling or porn sites.
Or just the old "enter card details here"trick.:mad:

It's either clever spam to get you to have a look at the website(s) mentioned, or a phishing exercise to get your credit card details.

Just delete and ignore.

Thanks guys. Had a load more of the bank ones recently too - you know the 'we need you to confirm your login details etc'.
