Here is the text of my message to the Chase Security Center regarding a call which I received from this number:
-------------------------------------
Dear Chase Security Center,
At 2:43 PM EDT this afternoon (Sunday, May 12, 2013), I received a call on my cell phone from telephone number (563) 242-0717. The computer generated voice said that the call was from Chase Card Services and stated that my Chase MasterCard had been deactivated due to fraudulent use and I needed to follow the instructions on the recording to re-activate my card. I did not enter any of the information requested, and I promptly hung up.
Although I am a Chase Checking, Savings, and Credit Card customer, I knew that this call was fraudulent because A.) I do not have a Chase Master Card, and B.) Chase (or any other bank or credit card issuer) would never contact a customer in this manner.
I am reporting this incident to you in the hope that you will investigate and determine the source of this fraud.
I had the same message, both last night and this morning.. said my visa was deactivated and I needed to follow the recording to re-activate. I also hung up.. I don't even have a visa, only mastercard.. obviously a scam! I hope they get caught before someone gives up their personal information!

Part of a fraud campaign targeting numerous financial institutions. Note the pattern of shill postings all claiming the number is real - an obvious giveaway.
The large number of phony posts claiming the call is real come from some con artists spamming the site to try to fool people. There is a similar pattern to other fake calls claiming to be from Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, US Bank, Wells Fargo, RBC, PayPal, etc. all with the same shill postings:
