Take a look at that link to see how real it appears. DO NOT ENTER ANY INFORMATION! Unless it's bogus.

Clues that it isn't what it seems: The return address is admin@gmail.com. The actual sending host is 80.96.112.115, which isn't a chase computer and appears to be located in Romania. Finally, I don't have a chase account (and banks never send emails asking for account information anyway.)

I'm not sure the intent. It's either some kind of Denial of Service attempt...or they hacked the chase servers. Scary.
