I called Chase and ask about this number, they told me it was not one of their customer services numbers. It is fraud. Be very careful with this type of messages, do NOT call.

Received text message on my t-mobile phone on May 24, 2:46PM Central.

"CHASE. Please call us immediately at 1-877-228-7944 regarding recent restriction placed on your account. Thank you."

Automated response asking for your card number, card expiration date and PIN. This is definitely a scam.

Same as everyone else says this is definitely a phishing scam.  I suggest calling the number from a payphone and entering 0-0-0 at the prompts. The payphone provider will bill the 877 number for placing the call and at least you'll get some satisfaction by causing a little bit of annoyance.

Yeah I got the same text message. It is a scam. I called the Chase customer service # that I know and they told me this in not one of their #'s. It says welcome to Chase when answering. I called the next day and it says welcome to Citi Cards.

Same here, I don't even have account with Citi card.

Yeah, text message me too x2

is a scam fwd this to the police as I did

I got a text message from Chase saying that I have not confirmed my phone number for MYCHASE. It asks me to call 877-228-7944. So I did. There's an automated system asking me to activate my card (eh?? I thought it asked me to confirm my  phone number?). I entered my card digits that spells out (F U A S S H O L E) and my password as well. This is PHISHING scam!!! Watch out y'all.

I just rec'd a call from message center !chase.com at 4:42 pm.  I never give my cell phone # to companies etc.  I would like to know how they got a cell # and connected me with Chase.  The message read to call Chase immediately at 1-877-228-7944 reg. recent restriction place on my account.  I figured it to be a scam.

Text message states: Please call us immediately at 1-877-228-7944 regarding recent restrictions placed on you account. Thank you./

Received the same kind of text message yesterday from the same number regarding a Chase credit card (don't have one but do have a Chase account).
I called out of curiosity and got an automated message that asked for my account number. I immediately hung up.
My wife called the same number from her cell phone and got the same message.
DO NOT EVER GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD OR PERSONAL INFO OVER THE PHONE.

Same here. I do not have a Chase card, yet they sent the text message alerting me that there were "restrictions" placed on my account. I dialed the number out of curiosity and couldn't get through ... a busy circuit tone, I think.

Nevertheless, it appears that the above are correct and that it is a scam. Surely Chase will chase them down?

FAX

Have been receiving daily calls from  1-877-228-7944 by "text messaging"  The call says it is Citibank and I have no account with Citi Bank.

we contacted citicorp they said that it is fraudualnt. Do Not give information this is a scam to get your card numbers. We don't even have an account with these people.

I just received this text from CITI Cards, which I don't have one.  It was asking me to confirm my phone number for MYCITI by calling 877-228-7944.  I received a message yesterday morning for CITI Cards stating the restriction being set up 877-284-0654 (from 3649).  I do not have a CITI card, so I wasn't sure why I received these.  When you hit zero which normally allows you to go to an operator, it keeps asking for your card number, exp date, and/or pin.

I also received the same text message today May 24, 2009, 14:47 from message.center@chase.com / CHASE
It is a scam. I even don't have a Chase account!

We received this same text message, called Chase and they confirmed that it is a phishing (sp?) scam targeting Chase and Washington Mutual customers.  Do not provide your info!

i also received this text msg on my phone today @ 4:47pm..  i immediately knew it was a scam but wanted to call to see if anyone picked up.. it was this cheap automated system asking for card number, expiration date and pin number.. i entered a bunch of made up numbers...  i hope someone can put a stop to this....  i was trying to find if i can atleast find the carrier of this number so we can report it to them.. but i was unable to find any info...  beware people!!

sorry, caller ID was 3505

I just received the same text message today, on Sunday of all days. I do not have a chase acct, so I know it is a scam.

It is a scam. Just received the same text message, called the CSR and they told me its a scam. The number asked for account number, expiration date and PIN number. The same text message received by Washington Mutual account holder. Beware all!

I just got thru to the number. It is definitely a scam. It is an automated service. The first thing it will ask you to enter is your card number, next it will ask for your expiration date, and then it will ask for your pin number...a scam for sure! I entered all zero's so I could go thru the process to see what all it asked for.

I was sure it was a scam. Chase would never send a text message. I knew if I googled the number I would see that others were scammmed as well. The number was busy when I called too.

I received this text message as well.  It is a scam.

I do have chase account and did recently sign up for text message alert. So when I called the 1877 number in a similar text message, thankfully call didn't go through. Then I called my chase bank and found that they didn't send the message. Definitely a scam .... Who can you trust these days...

received text stating message.center@chase.com / CHASE.  Please call us immediately..... (Same as above)  Chase said that people are phishing for your info.  Do not respond.

I just received the same text.

Just received a text message stating that I should contact Chase regarding recent restrictions placed on my account.  This is absolutely fraudulent as I do not have any accounts with Chase. Needless to say, please be wary of calling this number.

Typo above - msg date 5/24/09

Same report as Joshua, text message on my cell phone 3.07pm Central Time 5/26/09 stated it was Chase re restriction placed on account. Chase does not have my cell number.  I am not returning the call.
