Might as well share the experience,
I received this email this morning, complete with bank logo. I became suspicious when The Javascript for the link provided was sending me to an another website. On the top of that, other links such as customer support, home, report fraud are non working.
So I went to the local Chase bank, and sure enought it's a fraud. Keep on the look out, especially for your familly members that are less educated computer wise.
