What does suspicious email look like today?

Identity thieves constantly develop new ways to compromise your personal information. Make sure you can spot the latest fraudulent email strategies by reviewing the examples below. These are just some of the suspicious communications our customers have received from questionable sources. They are not legitimate messages, and you should not respond to them.

Remember:

  • Chase will never ask for your Personal Identification Number (PIN) or Password over the telephone, text message or email.
  • In addition to email, criminals also use pop-up windows to request your confidential information.
