beware of a email that looks like from chase manhattan bank,

i got one today that stated someone had tried several invalid attempts at logging into my account, i was to go to their webpage to log in,(i was provided a link) at that web page i was told to log in and provide updated information which i proceeded to do until it ask me for my social secutity number. i stopped and logged onto chase webpage from my shortcut those webpages were identical except for one thing, on the link provided there was not a contact us link, so i called chase and they verified this email was bogus so i had to change my used id and password and hope because i did not give then my social security number that i am safe
