Chase’s $500 Winner Wonderland Contest

If you know someone who has actually won a bank contest they would probably tell you it is easy to get the money in your account without waiting as long as most contests. Then again what are the chances of winning? Chase reveiled a new contest for the Christmas shopping season or as they have their own version of Winter Wonderland to get you in the spending mood. A creative name indeed of Winner Wonderland where you need to enroll at a local branch then make a purchase using your enrolled credit card for one entry. You get five entries when you make a donation to a charitable or social service organization with your enrolled Chase-branded credit card.

Someone will win every hour a prize of $500! One winner will be randomly selected from every one-hour period. This will take place with Hourly Drawings that begin 12:00:01 AM ET on 10/3/11 and end 11:59:59 PM ET on 12/30/11. Note that No Hourly Drawings will be held on weekends or Holidays (Columbus Day, 10/10/11; Veterans Day, 11/11/11; and Thanksgiving Day, 11/24/11). This is most likely only in areas where there is a Chase bank branch but good luck!

“Chase Away Debt” Relief Scams

debt spam example I received a disturbing email today from Jill West today with an address of Alvera@aybyra.com. I first thought it was from Chase because the logo was so similar but then I scrolled down the page and the MSNBC logo was on there to make it look reputable. The email just looks plain legit if you are one to just click on logo’s that look like the real thing. When you examine the email more closely it has some characters at the bottom that do not make sense and then when I mouse over the click-able Chase-like logo ad it sends me to a page that is hosted at vczzmt.com. A site that sounds nothing like true Debt Consolidation. I would not click any link with that type of mouse over.

Chase Bank will most likely be disturbed by this email. This is clearly copyright infringement using Chase’s logo and MSNBC’s logo for inappropriate use. The logo looks so close to Chase to confuse people and is highly misleading. Making this our phishing scam of the week. Comment your phishing scams you have dealt with but NO links please.
