I, Clever, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Chase Online”:
Above the email body was this big fat highlighted message:
“Be careful with this message. It contains a suspicious link that was used to steal people’s personal information. Unless you trust the sender, don’t click links or reply with personal information.”
If you missed it or didn’t see that he actual link wasn’t to Chase Bank then you only have yourself to blame for being stooopid!
