Scammerholes...best email I've gotten

[tango29]

Had an email from "Chase Bank" today. It was the best attempt I've seen yet from a scammer. The email was in the exact format of emails I get from the real Chase, with no spelling errors or weird formats. I actually had to hover over the link to sign on to know for sure it was a scam.
Personally I never click from emails, but this one could easily have passed for real if I was inclined to click.
F***ing dirtbags

Yeah, sadly it's not very difficult for a scammer to copy the HTML/CSS format of a legit email. So you can't use visuals to ascertain it's legit.

The bold underlined should be done on every e-mail, even ones not in your junk folder, period. Also, learn how to read e-mail header metadata.

This is the first one I have had that actually could pass for real of all the 10,000's scam emails. They even had enough sense to fake the email as a Chase in the header, except if you hovered over it, again it revealed a stupid address.
Our youngest does some help desk stuff remotely at the University he is at for some easy cash on top of his other job. They have professors and higher up admin people fairly regularly clicking on crap emails and screwing up the system. It is kind of funny that the supposedly smart people are falling for this crap.

Well, at least you learned, and now know what to look for.

I have known what to look for, I was just amazed that it has taken these clowns to actually come up with a nearly perfect fake email. Honestly this is the first one that didn't have an obvious formatting issue or stupid spelling mistakes, or the email in the header that ended with "@.ihdi&*6k 67ak" or something stupid like that. It required actually specifically hovering over links to catch it. At some point I am guessing they will have that covered also, but again that is why I never click from an email, always go to the website to sign in.
