Scamming - Fraud
The email message below which claims the recipients' Chase bank accounts have been suspended is a phishing scam. The email message is just one of the many being sent by cyber-criminals to potential victims. Therefore, Chase customers who have received the same email message are asked not to follow the instructions or click on the links within it. The links go to a fake JPMorgan Chase Bank website designed to trick visitors into stealing their Chase usernames and passwords. This is why it is recommended that Chase customers never click on a link in an email message to sign into their online accounts.

Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into stealing their username, password, financial or personal information. Therefore, Chase customers should never click on a link in an email message to sign into any of their online accounts. They should instead, go directly to www.chase.com in their web browsers and sign into their account from there. If there is a problem with their accounts, they will be notified after signing in.
Chase customers who were tricked into clicking the link in the fake email message and who have entered their usernames and passwords on the bogus Chase website that they were taken to are asked to change their Chase password and contact Chase bank immediately for help.

Just got an email with a pdf that shows my supposed Chase NA account has been suspended. "Your Chase, N.A. Account Has Been SuspendedWe have temporarily suspended your Chase, N.A. account for the funds transfer service.Here are your account details:...Please contact Member Services to re-activate your suspended account.Sincerely,Member ServicesEmail ID: 583https://www.Chase.com/"ugh
So why in the world would my email account not send something like this to spam, where it sends any conservative leaning email I get?
Here is another scam: "Subject: Account suspended Date: 2017-10-13 18:17 From: "Chase Online" To: Recipients Dear Chase Cυstοmer, Your Αccoυnt is sυspended and you are to restοre it now. Click here to restοre now Thanks Mοnitοring Team Note: if message is found in spam folder move to inbox so your activation link can be active © 2017 Chase . All rights reserved."
