- - Information-Stealing Phishing Email Targets Chase Customers. The Consumer Protection Board (CPB) of New York State has issued a warning to Chase Bank customers that they could be attacked by a phishing scam involving emails that seek personal information on the pretext of upholding new security measures. Customers receive a phony email that asks them to fill in a form with details including personal identifiable information. Citing fresh security measures ostensibly launched by Chase, the fake email explains that it is important that recipients complete the form. Additionally, it displays a web-link and asks the recipients to click on the link. However, the link leads to a fake website where personal information is stolen from the consumers.
