I love Fraudsters. They make me laugh at their little games. Have you gotten emails asking that you “confirm” your secret bank information? But how do you know what is legitimate and what is not? Here are some tips:

Banks, the IRS, and other institutions do not ask you to provide your information. Automatically, you should consider such “security prevention” as “phishing.”
If you think there is a problem with your bank, don’t use the email to log in. Go to the site from a bookmark or Google search and log on the way you would normally do.
Look at the address of the party who is sending the email. The email below came from SMChaseNotification@ChaseNotification.com. If you log into the REAL Chase bank, you would see www.chase.com or www.chaseonline.chase.com. I copied the link and put it into my browser and my Chrome browser gave me a warning sign that it was tagged as a phishing site.
Now if you ran your cursor over the “Continue to the verification process:” you would see that it does not point to a Chase Bank site, but www.csedesignsolutions.com/js/restrectedonline.php . This obviously is NOT Chase, and notice the misspelling of “restrictedonline.” Just too funny. If you are going to cheat me, you better be a good speller.
But the best part, was the bottom. I almost missed it. Under the E-mail Security Information, they enter the REAL Chase websites. So, people click there and say, “OK, it’s Chase.” Clever little devils.
I also looked up Dana Ingle and there is a Linked In person stating that they were educated at Ohio State and was the Vice President of Operations and Fraud. Was this a fraudulent Linked In account? Go figure.
Do Not Click on any of these hypelinks. You never know. They could load viruses on your computer (I dismantled them for this article.)

Beware! Don’t “Chase” it.
