Some resources to help guard against fraud. [View all]

I got a message claiming to be from Chase. It was obviously phishing, and I reported it. Trouble is, reporting addresses vary. Mostly it's abuse@(your company), but after a bounce, I sent the info to phishing@chase.com

Found some good info there.

One of the latest is (you guessed it) AI generated fraud.

Scammers use AI to clone voices impersonating people. One of the scams using AI is where they clone voices of loved ones, then call using that voice, pretending to be desperate for money to get out of trouble or danger. It's very convincing.


Lots of others. Regarding checks, always drop off mail INSIDE a post office.

This is not a plug for Chase. Auto loan is paid off! Bye.
