E-Mail Bank Warning
Tonight, I recieved an e-mail from Chase Bank wanting a security update
on my CC. Looking at it, they wanted more info than the FBI. I called Chase and was advised that it was a Fraud message and to forward it to the fraud section then to delete it. Any one else getting this should call in.....do NOT answer it. Dan

I've received tons of "fraud alerts" that wanted me to enter my credit card number and pin to "log in" to see the fraudulent transactions. Plenty of scams going on nowadays. Most companies will contact you via telephone if they need information from you. However, you also need to be wary about these types of calls. Never give you out your confidential information over the telephone just because somebody seems to be a representative from one of your banking institutions. Tell the person calling that you will be more than willing to talk to them or another representative at the institution after you confirm the veracity of the call by calling the independent telephone number from the back of your card or the internet. Same goes for IRS type stuff. Be very wary about anybody calling and pretending to be an IRS agent. If the person is from the IRS, they will not need that many details from you about who you are or what was on your return.

Yeah we get alot of these type of emails on machines around campus. THe best thing to do is when ANY place emails you to "check security", check a login, etc etc. NEVER follow the link they provide in the email, simply type the link in yourself to the webpage you normally go to, and check. If you don't find the issue on your normal login page there is usually a address you can forward the email you received to (IE spoof@ebay.com, etc)

This is a common phishing scam, using various bank names - BoA is a favorite.
I generally get them pretending to be my Phone/ISP company. Usually pretty obvious - bad English, the terminology is 'off', and my company has a stated policy of 'never asking for personal information by E-mail'. Hard to believe people fall for this, but I guess they do it enough so these criminals keep trying.
