Text Msg. from JPMorgan 818-864-3253

[AnnaS]

Just received a text message from JPMorganChase.com to call said number. I called to see what it was about and asked for my account number. Of course, it would have been crazy of me to enter it. I called again and it asked me to leave a message.

I was called once many years ago for activity on my card as well as my son recently but they called the house number. I thought this text on my cell was unusual. I called Chase Visa to see if anyone was calling me and of course was told it is a scam.

Just a heads up.

I googled the number and there are many people saying they have received the same text and it is a scam.

Oh scary! Thanks for the heads up! But like you, I would NEVER enter in my CC number.

Way to look out for all of us!

whenever you receive ANY call you are questionable about, just throw it in a google search and you will likely find a slew of other people with similar experiences from the same number..........scary.........you can also * (star) 57 which tracks the call and it can later be traced by Police. They WILL do that if you notify them of three (3) annoyance calls...

How wierd! I got a similar text earlier today, also from Chase. I didn't call it, just deleted it- I barely read it>...

818 is a Los Angeles area code.

I would think if there truly is something wrong with one's account, they'd give an 800 customer service number.

One time I got a call from my bank's security office saying to call them. They do this a LOT when they think I have unusual charges. So I was used to it - pain in the butt that it is. This time, instead of doing the usual, which is to call directly the number from the back of my card. I called the number they left. They asked strange security questions. So I told them I was hanging up & calling the number on the back of the card. They said they were fine with that.

I did call the regular number and they confirmed to me that I had a notation on my account that I had just called and hung up out of concern. So, at least, that time, they verified the number I had called was a legit call. And yes, their security questions have gotten increasingly weirder.

Every phone in my home has been getting hit up from 'financial services' companies. They come off all threatening which could be very intimidating to people in trouble I guess. They offer no info and just announce a number and demand that I call back but it's kind of hard to take them seriously when they call my 11 & 12 year old kids though

My house # is on some companies hit list trying to get info on our name ect. We're unlisted so they call & call and try to get me to say our name ect., as if. Every time they call I answer saying, "I'm still not telling you. Have a good one anyway." and hang up.

It seems as people get more desperate the cons are getting more common

This is clearly a scam, since I got the txt and Chase doesn't even have my cellphone number!
