Chase Bank Debit Card Scam!

[Gator 45/70]

Just got a call that my Chase bank debit card was locked and they wanted my account #

Problem is I don't use Chase!

Just spreading the word. Be on the lookout!!

Very common.
Just FYI, if you get a call from Visa/MasterCard/Amex/Discover, they will give you the last four of the card number and ask if you made a recent purchase, giving you location and amount. If you say "no" they will lock the account and tell you to call you bank during regular business hours.

They will NEVER ask you for personal information.

Ive had this happen twice in the past week. Once at 0100 and once at 0030. I dont use chase either, but i was curious so i clicked one to "unlock" my account. They ask you to "Enter your account number followed by the pound sign, then enter your PIN number utilized at Chase Bank ATM's".

Got a call on my cell this week. "Your chase debit card has been locked. ....transferring you to our security department.."
Only problem is, I don't have a Chase card.

I haven't gotten that one yet but I got an email the other day stating that my PayPal account was going to be closed from inactivity. It even spoofed the sender.

I work at a bank and can vouch that none of us will ever call and ask for personal information. Bank's don't do that. If we have something important, we might try to verify your identity before relaying sensitive information, but we won't ask any over-revealing information, such as a full acct number, SSN, etc. If anyone asks you for that, tell them you'd rather talk in person and if they are legit they will love for you to come talk to them in person.

Got the call about 30 minutes ago. Came from an unknown number.

Interesting, I got that robo-call yesterday. The red flags went up immediately and I hung up after listening to the message. Called Chase's 800 number and they said no, there's nothing wrong with your card, and we don't operate that way. Complete scam.

These robo-call scammers are getting better and better. The best thing you can do is hang up once you know it is a robo-call.

I was getting at least a call a day for a while from the same scammer. They were spoofing numbers from all over the country as well as area codes that I normally get calls from. I documented the numbers for a week or two and found out one of them was linked to a "marketing company" in South Florida. Then I dropped the dime on them to the Do not call regestry, listed all the numbers I had collected and the business name that I found.

Did any of that actually help? Probably not. But at the same time I just started hanging up the second I ID the caller as a machine and it seems they went away.

Thanks for posting this. I warned my family about this. My daughter called me last night saying she got the call and hung up on them.

Thank you Gator45/70!!

You don't even know man. We still get people thinking they actually are being given money from some overseas guy...all they have to do is pay him a few thousand to send it this way.

Those dishonorable pieces of bovine excrement really **** me off! Bastards!
You gotta be smart and NEVER give your information to anyone on the phone, particularly if they claim to be someone who should know that **** (i.e. Chase or whoever issued the card? They should know all your personal info/passwords, etc. if they're legit).

Not just would-be bank scammers.. I get similar requests from fake PayPal, phone service and even fake Go-daddy domain demanding that I "confirm my login information".
