Chase scam - got few emails

They're trying to get your personal information. Chase would not contact you that way. Call them and let them know someone is trying to get your personal information and verify that it is in fact them.

They send these emails out to many,of those many,some will have chase accounts,and without thinking click the link a give out thier account information,and thier bank accounts will be drained.Ive gotten them from chase,sunbank and a few others,but oddly enough,Ive never gotten one from the bank that I actually bank at.Paypal is another one to watch out for,I get those atlease once a week,they are also scams.

I've had the paypal ones--"Your credit card is about to expire" LOL I don't have a credit card associated with my paypal.

I've received quite a few of the different paypal ones. Paypal does ask that you forward it to their spoof address. I haven't received the Chase one, although I have heard of it. You might want to check the Chase website to see if they have any information about it, and if they might want you to forward it in the same way that PayPal does.

Fraudulent E-mails

We recognize how important it is to protect your identity from unlawful use, and shield your accounts from fraud and unauthorized access. With that in mind, you can be assured that it's not our practice to:


Send e-mail that requires you to enter personal information directly into the e-mail

Send e-mail threatening to close your account if you do not take the immediate action of providing personal information

Send e-mail asking you to reply by sending personal information

Share your name with any contacts outside our firm in a manner inconsistent with our Privacy Policy

It's an unfortunate reality that criminals continue to devise ways to exploit technology in an effort to rip you off. One increasingly common scam is called "phishing" (pronounced "fishing"), where your personal information is the "catch of the day."

Fraudulent Screen and E-mails

A phishing e-mail usually takes an urgent or demanding tone, telling you to act immediately to verify or update personal information such as bank account numbers, users names/passwords, credit card account numbers - even your Social Security Number.

Don't do it.

thank you guys.

You're very welcome! Glad to help you, so you didn't make a bad mistake! That's all you'd need now, huh? :)

I always click on the link to the phishing and when it asks for my login and password, I use things like yousuck doUthinkImstupid uradumb@ss or other much worse things. :D

LOL Toni. Or you could enter in some of these payday loan collectors e-mail addresses...lol

now that is an idea!

Hi finsfan, I made a post about this in my blog, this very thing. Usually its spoof emails that look like they're from AOL, Paypal, and Ebay. They provide you with a link telling you that you need to update your information. Don't do it! anyone who is reading this, DON'T DO IT. they get your information this way. It takes you to a page that looks REAL and it askes you for personal information. If you get any emails like these, report them right away. If you ever wonder if they email might be legit, go to your account yourself and check things out, but don't do it through the link.

There are lots of these scams out there. You really have to be aware and watch out!!

All of these spam emails can be reported to the government spam agency @ [email]spam@uce.gov[/email].

Toni, don't even reply to the spam mails also. If your email account is configured in Outlook express, the company will be able to track down your IP. This will help them to get something about you.

i got one from chase. my mortgage is through them, but i did not fill out any form. if they can send me a bill every month and call me when i am late there was no need to update any info.

i got one from paypal too. i have a friend who's mom got robbed from romania via paypal (hacker of some sort) for a lot of money.

read this regarding paypal accounts polly.
