Phishers get whimsical

Interesting. Those pesky phishers have baited their lines with something new. In what appears to be an evolution of this fraudulent activity, a new fake email targeting Chase Bank customers only has a telephone number as a contact.

Naturally, the number is toll free - just like the real Chase uses - and registered with fake details. I guess it works to reassure the victim in the dangerous days. Anway, a recorded message asks for your credit card and personal details.

Keep sharp.
