Chase Bank - Phishing E-Mail

Phishing is not exactly something I know a lot about. But this time the E-Mail was so obvious, (I don't have an account at the Chase) that I thought it a good idea to take a closer look at it.

The link in the E-Mail looked like this https://chaseonline.chase.com/accountservices.jsp. But in reality it was actually this http://www.the-drift.com/zboard/www.chaseonline.com/chase/chase/login.php


The website www.the-drift.com is a Korean website which looks like a motor racing portal. But the Chase clone (see above) looks like the real thing.

So if you are a Chase customer and are in a hurry, you could end up sending these crooks your bank details if you don't take a closer look!

My impression is that the crooks are targeting the Chase. Up until recently, it was the Volksbank which was coming in regularly.

So my advice is, always take a second look at E-Mails from your bank. And if you are not sure, check the URL in your browser to see if it looks suspitious.

Above all if you are not sure, don't enter your account details until you have spoken with your bank. It will save you a lot of worry and money too!
