Received this today, one of the better looking phishing emails I have received. Why do they always have poor English/syntax in them? Sadly, lots will take the bait.

Might have gotten more interest if they used the email I have on file with Chase.

I get them from American Express (don't have one of those), Chase (don't have one of those), Banks of America (do ALL my banking with them) and many many others, sadly.
 
im sorry but that one is rather bad. I've seen some sent out from eBay and stuff that look much more "realistic" than that. I mean come on, other than the Chase symbol it would be a pop up ad if they simply added some flashing colors in the back of the CLICK TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD.
 
Here's something I got several days ago. I realize this is probably a scam, but it sure SEEMS harmless. :eek: Anyway, I haven't clicked on the link, but I'm very very tempted. I haven't given them any personal info, but the part of the link that says "login-run" is suss.

Here's what? I don't see what your referring to, sorry. :confused:

That is most definitely a scam email, I get ones just like it on occasion... don't bother clicking the link.

Got one of these a few months ago. I had an account there years ago. It confused me when I got it but just figured it either as a mistake or a scam.
