They send me a e-mail
If you look at the link
Transaction Authorized - it links to https:// activityconfirmation.chase.com/p/Chase_Fraud_RTM/ProdResponseHash?seq=&resp=Y

Upon clicking the link, the next site I see
activityconfirmation.chase.com and then get redirected to

Note:Real sequence number has been changed to protect data

So not I get reply from not Chase but another company and they do not understand why I think their security stinks.
I then call Chase and after speaking to 20 people i get—you guessed, it no it not a issue.

Why the Chase Bank does not understand is it not good to deal with a bank you redirects you to 3 different domains and they think that fine.
My warning is to deal with banks who understand security and practice it. Do not use a bank if they do not understand on-line security. Sorry Chase you lost me as a customer.
