Chase scammers feeding fest.

There is a scam going around initially by text. Text says it’s from a delivery company and additional postage is required. Link from text takes you to what looks like a legit website. After putting in my app based CC details to pay the additional postage something felt not quite right. Wife checked on line number was a known about scam. Went through Chase CS and changed in app CC details.

Had the pleasure of a follow-up telephone call from the scammers tonight purporting to be chase. After a bit of banter chap on the other end put his hands up to being a scammer!

Not a bad result, be careful out there.

    This sort of scam can, and does, happen with any bank. Mainly because people still do let it happen.

    Very common scam, have blocked so many numbers and email addresses.

    Be careful out there, if unsure ignore it, avoid clicking and providing any details.

    That's no excuse, just a simple text scam

    I don't think I could exchange banter with a scammer after he'd had my money.

    Time for you to wise up and stop feeding these people!

    Suggest you remove Chase from the title, nothing to do with them

    You clicked a link in a text?

    You'll now be on a list as a scam target, prepare to be inundated with scam attempts

    What has this to do with Chase? You are probably on a (or a number of) scammers lists unfortunately & will get more from NatWest/Amazon/DHL etc
