2020-12-23 16:23
A large scale phishing scam is underway that pretends to be a security notice from Chase stating that fraudulent activity has been detected and caused the recipient's account to be blocked.
One recipient said they fell for the scam after their card was denied in a purchase online and thought the email was a legitimate Chase fraud alert.
These phishing emails state that the recipient's Chase account was blocked after suspicious activity was detected.
The phishing page will further prompt the user to enter additional information about themselves to verify that they are the account owner.
It is important to remember that Chase fraud alerts never prompt you to enter any information or your login credentials.
