Chase Account Notice Phishing Scam - "Attention - Unusual Sign-in Attempt"
The email message below, which appears as a Chase account notice, claiming there were several failed login attempts on the recipients’ online banking accounts, is a phishing scam. The fake email message was not sent by Chase, so recipients of the same email message should delete it and should never follow the instructions in it. Chase customers should never click on a link in an email message to sign into their online accounts, they should instead, go directly to Chase’s website and sign into their accounts from there. This way, Chase customers will never need to worry about phishing scams.
