Banking Scam

Posted on 14:43 by Unknown
Hello Everyone,
I received the following scam email in my junk email account today.
Many thing alerted me that this was false.
* I have a Chase account, but I don't use it on Amazon.
* The email account that received this email isn't linked to my Chase account.
* You can't tell from this, but the return address was dragonflykiki969@onlinechase.com
 
The content of this email is almost spot on for a real Maintenance Alert. The differences are the phone number, the links to Chase.com are all capital "C" on Chase for the real alerts, and the return address is no-reply@alertsp.chase.com.
Also, I have no idea about the To: address because it isn't mine.
 
I have also heard that 1st Source Bank has had similar attempts on their customers.
Please be careful with stuff link this.
