"Chase Suspended Account" Phishing Email
The email message below which claims the recipients' Chase bank accounts have been suspended is a phishing scam. The email message is just one of the many being sent by cyber-criminals to potential victims. Therefore, Chase customers who have received the same email message are asked not to follow the instructions or click on the links within it. The links go to a fake JPMorgan Chase Bank website designed to trick visitors into stealing their Chase usernames and passwords. This is why it is recommended that Chase customers never click on a link in an email message to sign into their online accounts.
