Anyone get a email like this before?

I wired $800k into Chase to buy a investment property 2 weeks ago... account is fully functioning still, I'm a private client since 2017ish.

there's no message in my secured message inbox though....

Obviously you should call up and find out what the secure message is.

In response to your question, no I never got an email like that.

That's my guess as to why this got their attention...repeated pattern of similar transfers in a short period of time. A single transfer of $800k probably wouldn't have set off any alarms.

Are you sure it's from Chase? It could be a phishing attempt. What URL do you see when you hover over the "Secure Message" link?

Also a possibility!

Checking my emails for past secure messages, they were formatted differently but I also haven't had a new secure message since early 2021 so it's possible the format has changed since then. The included subject line is consistent with past secure messages though, and if it's related to something the OP did do recently, that's a pretty big coincidence.

The format looks weird. I have not seen such messages.

DO NOT click on the received links in such messages, especially on phone. Simply login to your account from a separate browser and check messages. Calling bank also is a good option.

Not meaning to take the conversation off track, but 'hovering over the link' is NOT a reliable (or safe) way to determine the legitimacy or accuracy of a web address. The href value (what shows when you hover / mouseover a html link in text or a photo) can pretty easily be spoofed via a pretty simple java script or through the use of an overly long url that disguises the domain

e.g., https :// security . citicards . login . gonnastealyourinfo . xyz . us - without the spaces of course...

which would show (upon hovering) up as https :// security . citicards [...] -

(All of that url is made up, of course, but used as an example point...)

Many corporate networks disable any JS in emails, and this can be the reason this method became popular, but not all corporate providers do (nor do most of the free email providers).

Best advice is that if you have any (any any any) reason to doubt a link, simply type the address of where you want to go.
