This is correct. Brian asks if the "CVV code is the last three digits on the back of my credit card", which Steve confirms. The CVV code is an extra 3-digit security code which is found on the back (reverse or rear) of a credit card next to the magnetic strip.
This is an incorrect statement. PlasterCard, Brian's credit card company, has informed him that someone else is trying to get his credit card details. The original email is actually from someone who has impersonated (or is pretending to be from) PlasterCard.
This is correct. The email Brian received was not from PlasterCard. Steve at PlasterCard says that Brian has received a "phishing" email, which "try and trick you into disclosing personal information".
Exercise 2
Brian: I to check something: my is the last three on the back of my credit card, right?
