So Melanie has been getting some suspicious emails as of late from some people claiming to be Chase Bank. Not being one that would be duped so easily she deleted the message and went along her buisness. But then she kept getting the email over the course of a couple days. After this she sent the message to the fraud department at Chase. I just wanted to remind people there has never been a financial institution that has ever sent email requests to customers about their accounts, that is NO, as in none, nada, never have never will. If you ever have a question about the email, open a new page, go to the companies website, and find someone to call (do not use the provided link in the email). The number of email you recieve about the problem will not change the fact that its fradulent. I'm posting the phishing email so you can see first hand what they look like.
