People should be told that all emails purporting to come from banks
are to be ignored, and then banks have to find another way to communicate with their customers.
My bank uses bits of paper.
We (PCMag) tell them if they get an e-mail from a vendor or a bank or whatever and they're curious about it to go to the site through their normal bookmark or by typying in the URL and to check their account on the site that way. The e-mails Paul sends are sort of lame, but the only link in them goes to www.chase.com and I don't see how they could be used in a scam. It sounds like the user needs a new activation code; if they go to the site they will be prompted for it.
