Dear Chase Customer

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 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 yet for Internet Banking, you will
have to use your Social Security Number as both your Personal ID and Password and fill in the required
information, including your name and account number.

2. Review your recent account history for any unauthorized withdrawals or deposits, and check your account
profile to make sure no changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken place on your account,
report to Chase staff immediately.

integrity of the entire Chase system. Thank your for your prompt attention to this matter.

OK, so the Chase email
looks legitimate with all
the nice logos and
concern being expressed
for your account security.  
The first
BIG CLUE that
this is a bogus email is
that a financial company
won't request information
like this via email.  The
Second big give away is
they are asking for your
Social Security Number.  

Just for grins I clicked on
the Respond Now button
to see what the fake
website looked like.  It
actually looks very legit
(scroll down to see it)
however, when I checked
the site with Fraud
Eliminator it was less
than a month old.  I think
Chase's website has
been around for more
than a month so again,
that's another red flag.  

Finally, if I did have a
Chase Account and made
it this far then
RoboForm
should pop up asking if I
want to fill in my User ID
and Password.  Since it
didn't (I do have a Chase
account) I know have final
confirmation that this is a
bogus email and website.
