I got one of these in my e-mail. I found it suspicious and forwarded to Chase and resulted in a scam. How many people have fallen for this? I tested the log on ID and password, I put is ASSHOLE, Hahahaha, and it worked. The screen took me to a page where they ask you for the credit card #, expiration date, and the 3 number code on the back of your card and your ATM PIN #! These guys have some big cojones! (Balls)!
Watch out for scams from banks, asking for your card details, along with pin number and security number. This is an email I got today... I'm not with 'Chase' bank, but for anyone who is, they might fall for it..

Life is full oF scammers. SEEMS IT'S GOOD for making money. My boss was scamed out of 10,000.00 $$$$, a co-worker 10k, another 7k, and a tech1k, all by an investment financial bank called "The Firm" The guy is now in jail as they had scammed more than 400 people. profitted over 1.5 million dollars. My son was also scammed thru a caller claiming to be from Capitol one credit services. Took 300 bucks from his account. Luckily I didn't fall for the fake e-mail and verifies with Chase before even thinking of giving my info. Go to www.chase.com and the alert is on the home page. Here at work 62 deals of new cars sold were stolen and the thiefs hacked up a lot of money from Victorias Sectret to Dillards Dept store. This is getting scary, and it all happens because there is too much info floating around. Imagine that now they decided to take off the social security numbers from the drivers license because it's a easy tool for these scammers to access your info. They even call you up with free grants. My friend friends was scammed with a fake check for 60k. The bank couldn't even tell that the check was fake, they swore it was good. But the friend did some investigating and didn't get caught in the trap. Check this site and get informed: www.eyeoncredit.com

BEst cure for all of this is to ALWAYS be suspicious of any kind of contact or request you receive that you did not initiate and to NEVER, NEVER respond to any of them until you verify the source. If you assume that they are all scams right up front then your course of actoin is to check up on them first and dont' even read the crap they send in the emails. These scammers are very, very bright. And the old addage still holds, ...if it seems to good to be true, it sure as hell is! Caveat Emptor never held more importance than it does today.
