A JPMorgan Chase customer has been swindled out of over $35,000 by scammers posing as the bank\u2019s anti-fraud officials and the FBI.<\/p>\n

Illinois resident Jennifer Lichthardt says she feels violated after criminals used a spoofing scheme to convince her to transfer $35,000 to a Chase account controlled by the scammers, reports<\/a> ABC 7 Chicago.<\/p>\n

It all began when Lichthardt answered a call that displayed on her cell phone as her bank\u2019s number.<\/p>\n

Says Lichthardt,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the number on the back of my Chase debit card, and it said Chase Fraud Department\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

They read me my account number. They had my account balance down to the penny.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The scammers convinced her that the FBI and Chase\u2019s anti-fraud officials were investigating the bank\u2019s own employees accessing customer accounts and that she needed to transfer her money to keep it safe.<\/p>\n

She followed the scammers\u2019 instructions and transferred $35,000 into a new \u201csecured Chase account\u201d at her local branch and thousands of dollars to another online bank.<\/p>\n

The scammers withdrew the funds once they were deposited, according to the bank.<\/p>\n

Chase says in a statement,<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge all consumers to ignore phone, text or internet requests to move money or gain access to their computer or bank accounts. Banks and legitimate companies won\u2019t make these requests, but scammers will.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Lichthardt reported the theft to law enforcement and is hoping she\u2019ll recover her funds.<\/p>\n
