So where do I go to see my profile and data? I got a kick out of requesting my lexis nexis profiles - which eventually resulted in two very large packets of paper (several hundred pages) arriving in the mail.

#42Any way to verify that this is legitimate and not a phishing page for active card numbers?
Yes, by checking the SSL cert.

It's coming from visa.com, somebody would have had to hijack their domain first to set up a phishing scam like this.

#47Here's an equivalent form for MasterCard: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/vision/corp-responsibility/c...
Anyone have one for Amex? Or Discover?
(or JCB? What other weird cards do HN users even have?)

#48To verify that this is a legit site:
Go to: https://usa.visa.com/legal/global-privacy-notice/additional-...
Then click on: “Visa Products & Services: How does Visa use personal information to benefit consumers and businesses?”
Then scroll to the bottom of that section and you’ll see the VAS link: ”U.S. cardholders can opt out of Visa using their card transaction data for VAS.” where you can opt out.
iPhones will auto capitalize text in the capatcha box, so make sure the text is all lowercase.

#49So all I need to do is provide my full credit card number in this random page and then it'll opt me out? And this was somehow brought to the front page of Hacker News? This is a very low effort scam. At least put in some effort beyond your dozen shadow accounts on HN.
Legitimate question to ask if asked correctly. Companies spend non-trivial amounts of money trying to train people with pseudo-phishing emails and basic web navigation skills, and your question/statement, while unfortunate in its wording, is a good question to ask.

#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
Most open source text captchas have ML/DL or OpenCV OCR solutions and more advanced captchas like gcaptcha/hcaptcha you can send to a solver farm like 2captcha. The cost for the farm solutions is pretty cheap.
I'd only seen relatively pricey solver farm solutions, hence the question. What constitutes "cheap" here? For a baseline, .05USD/captcha seems not cheap to me.
for a server farm you could purchase as a normal citizen, but what do governments pay?
