I received an email that "appeared" to be from Chase bank...saying that the account needs to be updated (and of course provided a link) phishing scheme so DON'T respond other than report to your ISP as Spam ...just wanted to warn everyone..just in case someone didn't knopw..address will be accountreview@noreplychase.com subject line You Have a New Message

Thanks, If I get an e-mail from a company I actually do business with, I open another tab or window and type in their web address.

If you run your mouse over the link without clicking it you will see the actual url in the bottom left hand corner. It is never to the institution you think it is.

Don't click the blue links in email. Do not cut and paste the blue links in email.

If you are unable to respond to the email by going to the company's website, hand typing in the name freehand (such as ebay dot com or amazon dot com or southwest dot com), then you may (should) ignore the email.

(Actually I need to point out one exception for now. If you are joining a web site such as facebook or wdwinfo, you will get an email used to confirm your registration. Here you need to click the blue link.)

I got that same message. I thought it seemed suspicious, so I logged into my chase account, and - SURPRISE - no message from them! I always do what others here recommended, just go to the correct website on my own, see if they really want to contact me.
