"Chase Debit / ATM Transaction Verification" Phishing Scam
The email below which claims the recipients to need to confirm a Chase debit or ATM transaction is a phishing scam. The fake message was not sent by Chase, but by cyber-criminals. Therefore, recipients of the same text 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 online users 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.
