If you get a message from "Chase bank," toss it.

I just got one, wanted me to click on "www.chase.com."

It would instead steer me into a site called "pediology."
Yup. Kiddie porn.
(Fortunately I'd heard of this before, and didn't click on the link.)

Just sent the entire e-mail, and link to the nearest FBI.

1. the dead give away in all these scam, virus, etc. emails is

"Dear Valued Customer"

[winter is coming]

2. DUzy! n/t

[Boom Sound 416]

3. Smart move

[Laffy Kat]

4. Thanks for the heads up.

I just warned several people.

5. I just got one from AOL that had some child's babysitting service's name in the url.

It was one where they were going to shut off my service if I didn't update my info.

6. Hover over the URL before clicking anything

8. Even better - go to the relevant site directly instead of clicking.

If you get a "you must update your info" or "your payment is past due" or whatever email, always go to the site manually instead of clicking on the link in the email.

If the email is legit, you'll be able to do whatever it was asking.

If the email is not legit, you won't be giving your information to people who will misuse it.

7. Both, I, and my wife, got a text from "Chase Bank" ...

asking for account information.

Trashed it ... and called BabyGirl 1SBM to tell her to do the same.

[Jim Lane]

9. Quite true, but why do you single out Chase?

I've gotten similar phishing emails purporting to be from at least three other banks as well.

[Archae]

11. Because that's what the link claimed to be.

Hovering over it, it said the kiddie porn site though.

10. Yikes!

And I have a card with them and am always getting something from them.

[Staph]

12. I get these from time to time,

from lots of different "banks".

Forward the emails to [e-mail].

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Next you'll tell me that man from Lagos I've been communicating with

isn't really going to split 30 million dollars with me.

[zappaman]

15. Nope.

He already promised it to me.
And a villa on the Red Sea.
Sorry dude.
