Welcome to the wonderful world of phishing. That is no more an email from Chase as I am king of the world.

Patriot911 is absolutely right Reform; that ain't from Chase. (And I'd be willing to bet that Patriot911 thought he'd never see the day I'd agree 100 percent with something he said.) You always have to check the spelling ... that's the first tip-off. And the sure way to know is that Chase wouldn't send those.

Well, the cut and paste job you did hides the REAL location you go to if you were to click on the link. I'll guarantee you it is no chase run web site. They'll give you some sob story about account maintenance and what not and then ask you to put in all your information again. They'll probably try to put a trojan on your computer too (trojan as in virus, not condom) when you visit the site.

In the original email you received, what is the web site that shows up in the lower left hand corner of your browser when you hover over the link?

http://www.chase.com

Its not hard to fake a web site address.

Next thing you know you find out you have 93,325 credit cards in your name and you're working in 23 states as an illegal alien. Oh, and you're broke too....

Ah so this is the fraudster's e-mail they expect to get info from?

Chaseonline@alerts.Chase.com

Because this one https://chaseonline.chase.com/confirm.php?account43339
Actually links to the real Chase website...

Or were the fraudsters too dumb and forgot to put in a fake website? :lol: :lol: :lol:

They say never click on a link from one of those or send any response to them. Mark it as spam and then if you actually have chase account, only correspond with them directly with a link that you positively know for sure is them, or by phoning them or in person, and remember your bank will never ask you your account number because they already know it.

Additionally it can sometimes be helpful to a bank to give them a copy of a fake email that is using their name, but they probably have already seen this one, i would ask just to make sure.

If that website gives you an official functioning web site it is DEFINITELY phishing as that link gives an error on the "real" chase web site.

lmao... yup, that was the link http://ssl-user6722.com/..../

Oh dear I gave them Rockefeller's account details... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is the funniest scam I have seen so far, not so funny for customers who fall for it I'm sure.

If you don't have current anti-virus software, get some. Many of those sites automatically attempt to upload a virus to you just by hitting the site.

Thanks guys.

What you might want to do Reform is to forward your phish to the FBI Internet Fraud Division (IC3).

Yeah, I get ones from “paypal” and “Chase” every single damn day. The transparency of this scam is amazing. You can easily see the fake link. If you ever follow it, and simply type in random s**t, it goes forward asking for more, instead of rejecting the made up info. Idiots these people are.
