Beware of fake text saying your Chase card is locked
Received a text a few minutes ago saying that my Chase card had been locked and listed a phone number to call (305.735.xxxx) and a code. After a few seconds I decided that this was not the way Chase would handle a card closure. I googled the number and it turns out to be a phone-sex site. Glad I didn't call.

I have the numbers to all of my cards stored in my phone, it helps if ever there is a fraud alert at point of sale or if I need to call them.
I do now and then get a text and email from PayPal asking if a charge is mine, they only ask to reply 1 for yes, 2 for no.

Tried to report Fraud on my CSR card yesterday...when they transferred me to Fraud dept. call dropped. Unable to call back. None of the phone numbers are currently in service. Keep getting "this call is unable to be completed at this time, try again later". Still trying today...no go. Did lock the card. But, I would have expected more from a card with AF of $550.
