Look what I got in my e-mail today

I am sure these guys fooled a lot of people with this web site. Anyone else get this fraudulent e-mail?
Dear Chase account holder,
We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your Chase Internet Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. Protecting the security of your account and of the Chase Bank network is our primary concern. Therefore, as a preventative measure, we have temporarily limited access to sensitive account features.
To restore your account access, please take the following steps to ensure that your account has not been compromised:
1. Login to your Chase Internet Banking account. In case you are not enrolled for Internet Banking, you will have to use your Social Security Number as both your Personal ID and Password.
2. Review your recent account history for any unauthorized withdrawals or deposits, and check your account profile to make sure not changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken place on your account, report this to Chase staff immediately.

on a regular basis I get those...often times from banks I don't even do biz with or bank with or even E-Bay...
The caveat:
Don't ever respond to them....if in doubt call the CS number on your Mailed statements.

This is a dead giveaway:
We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your Chase Internet Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party.
Followed by this:
In case you are not enrolled for Internet Banking, you will have to use your Social Security Number as both your Personal ID and Password.
WTF. How can anyone actually fall for this crap.

NEVER access an account from an e-mail link and you don't have this problem

Another dead giveaway on those emails is the url for the hyperlink. If you hover your mouse over it and look at the bottom left of your screen or right click and select properties you can see that it is this:
http://144.131.128.26/chase.html
Anything from chase would start with www.chase.com (or whatever chase's website is). That 144.131.128.26 URL actually resolves to an ISP over in Australia.
It's called phishing and I get them all the time for ebay, paypal, etc

I got that same exact email Thurs too!! :220v:

[78Southwind]

What is strange is that Chase knows about the e-mail so why is the web site still up?

[572Daytona]

Because it's in a foreign country where our laws don't apply, and even if they did have laws in place, you would need to follow whatever legal process that country has in order to shut it down. By the time you did that the scammers will have gotten what they need and moved on. Most of the time the actual owners of the websites aren't even aware of this, hackers have broken into it and added their own web pages. One I looked at the other day was being hosted by a Nursery school in China, I somehow doubt that they were in on the scam.
