I received an email that almost looks good from gongos.com claiming to offer Amazon rewards for completing a survey. They promise to be affiliated with Chase and even put links in about privacy to the real Chase Bank website, a common trick to make the email look real. From the many email scams I have seen over the years this is one of those you look at and have to admire how they made this promotion look like a real Chase Bank affiliated program. In other words, someone will fall for this. As always, we remind you to never click on email links. Ever.

Here’s what my email looks like:







Here's the response from Chase Bank:

"We're writing to let you know we've reviewed the suspicious email you forwarded to us. We've seen similar versions of this message and want you to know it was not sent by Chase and it is a Phishing attack, designed to trick you into sharing personal information.

If you responded to the email, we can help. Just call the toll-free number on your statement or the back of your Chase credit or debit card anytime. Also, please know we work relentlessly to shut down websites that generate fraudulent emails like this.
