Your presumably real link to Chase, DC, looks exactly like the one in the email.
Amazing how they get the logos and everything down pat so perfectly.
I wonder how many people fall for this kind of stuff?
No, it's not the real link. :rolleyes:
Of course it is!
Yes, amazing how they make the e-mail look so official using the logos and stuff.
I had a similar e-mail sent to me from what appeared to be one of my banks. I called my bank and gave an explanation of what the e-mail said, and they had me forward the e-mail to them. Of course it turned out to be a scam. There have even been cases where someone working within the bank itself is running a scam! The bank told me NEVER to give any personal information over the internet or the phone to someone claiming to be from a bank. A finacial institution will NEVER make you give your complete social security number over the phone or through an e-mail. They always either ask for the last four numbers or the first three to verify who they are talking to.
According to the article that I read, many people fall for these internet/phone scams.
