According to this email, allegedly sent from JPMorgan Chase & Co., a leading global financial services firm and one of the largest banking institutions in the United States, you are entitled to receive a payment of $4.5 million dollars!
Even though we at ScamFinance are well-versed in all sorts of scams, we opened the email to see if perhaps it’s true, and we’re millionaires finally.
Sorry to disappoint you… but this is definitely a scam!
It is clear that not JPMorgan Chase & Co. sent this message when you look at the sender’s email address:
car.scjesuslo@inabif.gob.pe
The return address is:
customarecaredept@chaseusbnk.com
Chaseusbnk.com is a new website, hosted at NameCheap Inc., which hasn’t been set up yet. The authentic web address of JPMorgan Chase Bank & Co. is jpmorganchase.com and chase.com. So the sender of an email from them will be something like support@chase.com.
While Gmail warns that “[t]his message seems dangerous” and that “[s]imilar messages were used to steal people’s personal information,” some people may be using an email client that doesn’t provide scam detection, which is why it is important to share this information with your friends and acquaintances.
