TULSA - Whenever news breaks about problems at financial institutions, experts say scammers take aim.
Larry told us about a suspicious email he received about the recent trading problems at JP Morgan.
He says the email reads, "Due to the billions of dollars lost at JP Morgan, your Chase account has been frozen."
It went on to say, "To unfreeze your account, you need to click on a link."
Experts say don't do it.
Links in suspicious emails can download a virus on your computer, or it could lead you to giving scammers your personal information, which can lead to huge financial headaches.
