Dear "Admin@Chase.com":

Dear "Admin@Chase.com":



This is in response to the approximately 15 emails you have sent me in the last 5 days notifying me that, "Your online credit card account has high-risk activity status." Firstly, I do not now, nor have I ever, had a Chase credit card. Therefore, I would certainly agree that this is, indeed, alarming. In fact, it would certainly backup the statement of "unusual activity in your account", that is, if I had an account with you in the first place.



I would like to state that offering me, and the 15 other people who are visible on the "To" line of these emails, the chance to "log in and perform the steps necessary to restore your account access as soon as possible" is certainly a great service had I ever had an account with you in the first place.

I would also like to point out that the statement "Your account access will remain limited until this issue has been resolved" is really the best course of action, as I, again, never, ever, ever, ever had an account with you--ever . And, as such, will not be logging into the system using the helpful link you have provided for this purpose.

Yours Very Truly,

A non Chase Bank Cardholder

P.S--in the interest of efficiency please pass this information along to your friends at Pay Pal who need me to perform the same actions, as I do not have an account with them either.

I do have a Paypal account, and I get a similar e-mail from 'them' all the time. But it isn't 'them,' any more than it's probably "Chase" sending you these e-mails. It is a trick to get to to hit a link and go to some site. I tell you, these things look real! Right down to the logo, which almost had me fooled. But I've heard often enough that no company asks you for your password, so that's a big red flag. I even wrote to the real Paypal to inform them, and they told me this is a problem.
The best thing is to never, ever click on any link in any e-mail from a company. You're better off using your own search engine to connect to it, so that you are certain to get to where you really want to be!
