New Chase Credit Card scam
 

Sorry if posted before, but I got this email. The logos looked pretty good for chase, but the language still had errors. I called Chase and told them about it and they said I was good and not to click on it. Once I got a call from them asking if I was trying to buy a $50,000 backhoe in Singapore. I wasn't.

that would fool my mom easy.

i was told a legit notice would have your name in the salutation.

I don't try to evaluate the email or any phone messages. Just call the number on the card and say "hey, anything up with my card?". Chase has been great for me that way - I couldn't hope for better customer service...

+1. I never click the email link, I just call........

The grammar gives it away. I NEVER follow a link in an email, I always go to the site myself. There are actually some really good scams (unlike the one above) that try to get you to click their link, lead you to a very convincing fake page, then capture your personal and login information.

Hugh, I'm guessing that the actual underlying links in the e-mail are diferent than the text. The links you have in the post are actually good.

No reputable bank will ever send you an email asking for personal information, including anything to do with your credit card. Also your bank will never send you an email without a direct salutation. "Dear Customer" for instance is not legal.

The reasons the links above are real is to lure you into a false sense of security around this type of scam. Another email will come out looking like it came from the same source, but the second or third pass will be a new link to a phishing site.

I really wish banks would do something more to help people recognize this stuff. Chase for instance spends a ton of money on a product we developed called "Fraud Guard" but they rarely exercises the use of it to protect their customers.

I can't believe people are fooled by this stuff.

I won't even mention sensitive info to my bank if they PHONE ME. I simply call them back.

Yep.

Absolutely.

"hover" your mouse over the link and see where it really goes. 99% of the time its not going to the bank.

That's weak.

Most email programs now will automatically flag posts like this if the link display text is different than the actual link. I get these for mortgage and bank account, and lately from "ADP" daily in my spam folder.

I got it and smelled a rat. If they want to put m card on hold that's OK with me, I would call to clear it up. The scammers are starting to up their game.

I'm glad my mother was an English teacher. If that's "upping their game", I'll never have to worry.

Unfortunately, that's no longer the case, even with simple programming.

Media is well protected, while internet online banking transactions are not.
Topsey-turvey world we now live in.

I got the Chase scam email. It was pretty easy to spot as I don't deal with Chase. :)

I've also had several other scam bank offers over the years. Most banks have a online fraud reporting area when you go to the banks web site and all you need is to forward the fraud email to them. The banks actually do something about the fraudsters.
