VISA Phishing Email

I received this message in my junk email. So, obviously something isn't right about it to start with. The next big tip off is the link to sessionidG77SH38DL1.visa.com.ixtflji.be - come on now who in their right mind would think that that is a real VISA web address.

The following is the break down of the major parts of the message I received.

Here is the subject of this scam email:

VISA card 4XXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX: possible fraudulent transaction

This email was supposedly sent by:

VISA

Here is the body of the email:
