Chase emai/no account

[Promomx2]

I received a email this morning from Chase saying that my account had been closed and that I needed to login to the account. I do not have a chase account so I deleted the email. That was the right thing to do, right??

Yes. It was spam.

Yes. Definitely a phishing e-mail. Never click on those. If you have an account & are worried, log in your usual way (not on the link)...they will let you know if there is a problem.

I received the same email. I've never had a Chase account. I just deleted the email.

You were phished. Whenever you get a phishing email forward it to the financial institution that was named in the email, in this case Chase. This is where you should have sent the email so they could address it. If you know how to forward the headers that is also extremely helpful as the headers will be replaced with your headers once you forward the email.

I work for a different financial institution and there are mechanisms in place to shut down those sites but we can't do it if no one lets us know that if we were used as bait in a phishing scam. Simply erasing the email isn't the right choice.

CC companies will never ever send you an email telling you to login to reactivate an account.

I pretty much assume that any email asking me to log into my account is a phishing one, and usually just confirm it by hovering over the link in the email to see exactly what website the link is attached too. However, today I received an email and the link appeared to be legit, but when I looked at the full header of the email I noticed that it was routed through another email address and then sent to mine.
OP, if you ever get emails like that from your bank, always assume its a phishing one and send it to their "spoof" email address. If you are worried about what it says, contact them directly, not through the link.

I didn't know this, so thank you for posting this.

Anytime I see an e-mail with a link to click, I hover over it and usually you will see the actual web address and it's not who they say it is.

i got two Chase emails last week telling me that my email had been changed.

i found it interesting that those two (scams) went to my spam folder and regular Chase emails come to my inbox.

If you're using Google Chrome browser and click on a phishing link, it will generally notify you that it is not a legitimate site and ask if you want to continue.
