Beware of Chase phone scam
If you are a Chase (or any bank) customer, be warned that phishing scams to lure you into revealing your confidential bank information may not be limited to email and web pages anymore. Here is one report of this scam being perpetuated via phone calls. I suspect that people would be much more likely to trust a phone caller, if only because scams of this sort by phone have not been common.
Scam artists were calling customers and telling them their accounts had been discontinued. The mistake could be corrected if the bank customer would supply their account number
, the scammer said.MutualBank emphasized that their customers were not alone in being targeted, and after that article appeared, I received a call from a Chase customer who said she had received the same call.
