My Visa card was suspended

I got this really believable message in my spam folder, telling me that my visa card had been suspended and they asked me to fill in some information, like my visa card number. Yeah right, like I would fall for that.

The funny thing was that you could see it had been translated with Google translate, and that some characters looked suspiciously like Russian Cyrillic letters.

Here is the complete text :

Visa Spam

Another Spam message I receive through 123greetings.com is a "free" test to check if i'm eligible to get a Green card or to work and live in the USA.

Typically these spam messages contain a script where you have to click in order to find out if you are eligible. This time it asked me my age, the type of studies I did and my professional experience. And guess what??? Yes, i'm eligible!

This "service" was provided by USAGC, and bears the stamp of www.USAGC.com.

I wonder if any of you know what that could be?
