The email message below, which claims Chase Prevention Department has noticed some activities on the recipients' accounts, is a phishing scam. Therefore, recipients of 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 created by cyber criminals to steal 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. They should instead, go directly to their online account providers' websites and sign into their accounts from there.
