Don't even think about replying!
Damn! These "419" fraudsters are getting better at their game. I have always heard about it on Clark Howard show and through friends but I finally got this new type of fraudulent email this morning. They have a whole new dimension to their game. It's been around a little while and I am sure several people have received this mail before. However, they change their styles all the time. This one looks very legitimate including the site that it leads you to when you click the enclosed link but don't even think about going to the given link and entering your information. Their goal is for you to enter your info. It, then, sends it to them as soon as you click submit, which they can then use to go to your real Chase account. I have no idea how they even know you have an account with the bank, though it's usually sent to random people. Anyway, the fact is if your bank ever thinks you are having fraudulent activities, they won't inform you in this manner. So, don't fall for it by any chance.


Message ID 3967599 IMPORTANT: Urgently update account.

Dear Chase account holder,

We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your Chase Internet Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party.

    This is more of a modern scam called phising. It has nothing to do with the Nigerian type of 419.

    yeah, I know. you are definitely right, but I was using the 419 term as a generic term for fraudulent tricks. that's all. It's sad to say now, 419 is even being used by people all over the world to term anything fraudulent and more sad, I know, that I am following the crowd. But hey, I was used to calling it all 419 b4 I even came to this country.
