After the catastrophic Wells Fargo outage and more recently the ING Australia outage, it now appears that Chase Bank’s servers are down.

Here are some reports:

Even maps don’t work for some:

We can at least access the bank’s website, so it is possible that only a group of users are facing this problem.

For his part, Chase hasn’t said anything about this reported outage — at least not via his official social media channels. Ironically, this outage comes on the day it emerged that JP Morgan, owner of Chase Bank, has started rolling out JPM Coin, America’s first bank-backed cryptocurrency.

Coming back to the outage, we are watching closely and will update the story as we have more newsworthy information on this. Until then, use the comments section below to let us know your current experience with Chase Bank.

Chase customer service advises some customers that this is scheduled maintenance, but not ETA for when the system will be operational.

Looks like it’s Chase’s Wells Fargo-style breakdown day:

Chase acknowledged the problem:

We know some customers are having trouble accessing the mobile app and our website. We want to let you know that we are working on it. thank you for your patience

We are now seeing reports of spam text messages claiming to be from Chase Bank. Customers doubt fraud and share their experiences online. Here are some reports:

Looks like Chase customer support is giving mixed information. Earlier we highlighted how some users are notified that this is a planned outage. But now this:

Here is a workaround shared by the user to view account details and transactions:

If you’ve set up the Chase Pay app, you can view your accounts and transactions.

Try it out and let us know if it works for you.

The lack of frequent updates from the bank during this outage has people turning to their favorite “hacked” specs at times like these:

It’s been over 5 hours since this outage started and Chase has only offered one update. Of course, customers are not happy:

If you’re going by what Chase customer service told one customer (report below), things seem to be pretty messed up within the bank’s IT division at the moment.

I just called them on the phone after a legit 30 minutes and they said “sorry…the whole online system is down…we don’t have a specific timeframe for when it will be fixed” bruh they messed up baddddd

Harley-Davidson dealerships ranked first in Pied Piper PSI’s 2022 Internet Lead Effectiveness (ILE) Motorcycle/UTV Industry Study, which measured responsiveness to Internet leads from dealer websites – behaviors directly related to retail sales success. Dealers selling Indian motorcycles were ranked second, followed by Polaris side-by-side dealers.

“Fast response to web customers is critical to selling, placing an order, or laying the groundwork for future sales,” said Fran O’Hagan, CEO of Pied Piper. “Dealers who respond quickly, personally and completely to website customer inquiries sell an average of 50% more vehicles to their web customers, compared to dealers who don’t respond.”

Dealerships of four of the top-rated brands – Harley-Davidson, Indian, Polaris and Can-Am – not only performed well in 2022, but also significantly improved their web-response behaviors over time. Over the past five years, dealers of these four brands have on average more than doubled the frequency with which they respond to web customer questions via email or text, from 27% of the time in 2018 to 59% of the time. in 2022.

The industry’s average ILE performance rose three points to 43, the industry’s highest average score to date. This year, for the first time, dealerships of two brands – Harley-Davidson and Indian – performed better, on average, than typical car dealerships, which typically began focusing on web customers years before the powersports dealerships.

On the other hand, the study also shows that many powersports brands still don’t pay enough attention to poor dealer web response or do anything effective to address it. The performance of 11 brands declined over the past year.

“The poor performance of declining dealers can be partly attributed to complacency that comes from recent low inventory,” O’Hagan said. “However, slack – on responding to and building relationships with customers, especially local customers – could lead to multiple lost sales for years to come, particularly once inventory levels will improve.”

Pied Piper submitted customer inquiries through the individual websites of 8,859 dealerships, asking a specific question about an in-stock vehicle and providing a customer name, email address and local phone number. Pied Piper then assessed dealer response via email, phone and text over the next 24 hours. A dealership’s ILE rating aggregates 20 different metrics to create a total score, ranging from 0 to 100.

To be clear, each brand’s Industry Study ILE score is an average, including the top-performing dealers as well as the bottom-performing ones. In a traditional bell-shaped performance curve, 22% of all dealers in the industry scored above 70 (providing a quick and thorough personal response), while 42% of dealers scored below 30 (not responding not personally to customers of their website). By comparison, for the top-rated Harley-Davidson brand, 45% of their dealers scored above 70, while only 19% scored below 30.

Other notable trends in industry-wide behavior over the past year include:

• Dealerships were more likely to email a response to a customer’s request on a website – 48% of the time, compared to 39% of the time by phone and 17% by text. But texting is on the rise: two years ago, dealerships texted back just 3% of the time.

• Customer spam filters are a dealership’s enemy. Emails landed in a customer’s spam folder more than 25% of the time for Zero, CFMoto, Moto Guzzi, Royal Enfield, BMW, Aprilia, Honda, Husqvarna and Yanmar dealerships. Dealerships representing the brands most successful in avoiding spam filters: Polaris, Can-Am, Indian and Harley-Davidson – all less than 10% of the time.

• Of all the dealers contacted, one in 10 did not respond in any way to customer inquiries on the study website. In an age when powersports buyers are using the internet extensively to initiate the first contact with a dealership, a non-response equals a lost sale.

The response to customer inquiries on the web varied by brand and dealership:

• How often did the brand’s dealerships respond via email or text to a website customer’s question within 30 minutes?

O More than 25% of the time on average: Harley-Davidson, Indian, KTM, Polaris

O Less than 15% of the time on average: Tracker, Bobcat, Kubota, Zero, Kymco, John Deere, Cub Cadet, CFMoto

• How often have the brand’s dealerships used an SMS to respond to a customer request on a website?

O More than 30% of the time on average: Harley-Davidson, Indian

O Less than 1% of the time on average: Tracker, Yanmar, Bobcat, Cub Cadet, Kubota

• How often did the brand’s dealerships answer a customer’s request on a website by phone?

O More than 35% of the time on average: Harley-Davidson, Indian, Suzuki, Triumph, Polaris, Royal Enfield, KTM, Can-Am, BMW

O Less than 10% of the time on average: Kioti, Cub Cadet, Yanmar, Club Car

• Although not part of the ILE rating, Pied Piper also measured the responsiveness of the dealer’s website to a site’s chat function (if offered). How many times has a “human” answered a customer question within 30 seconds?

O More than 55% of the time on average: Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Bobcat, Suzuki

PITTSFIELD, Mass. (NEWS10) – This year’s Pittsfield 4th of July Parade, which has been named ‘Back with a Bang’, will also feature a new and improved website. No more mail to parade participants or donors; the catwalk can now be built entirely online.

The Pittsfield Parade Committee announced on Sunday that you can now go to Pittsfieldparade.com and fill out the form on the homepage to join the festivities. No need to try and remember to fill out the form sent by post or search for an email that might be spammy.

On the new website, users can also view photos of their own entry from the previous year, learn more about the current parade theme and poster, and who is actually hosting the parade. The latest parade news and updates will also be posted on the new website.

Parade chairman Pete Marchetti said it was a “new way of doing business for us”, adding that “participants, sponsors, donors, spectators and those simply looking for information will find the process more convenient, efficient and easier to use”. Marchetti said all applications can be submitted electronically. “None of the sponsorship, application or waiver forms were available online to fill out online before, but thanks to this much-needed modernization, they are available today.”

Marchetti said applications were emailed this year as a precaution against the brand new website, but fears the unknown number is likely to be spammed due to contact details changes that occur each year for many. “That’s why this new process is so important,” Marchetti said, adding, “we need to update the new process as quickly as possible. And now we can.”

The next parade meetings will take place every two weeks starting April 13, at the Polish Falcons at 7 p.m. New volunteers are welcome to attend and participate, as new ideas are always welcome. Contact the parade organizers for more information at (413) 447-7763, or by email at info@pittsfieldparade.com.

JAMESTOWN – A scam where a website was set up posing as a business south of Jamestown defrauded people who thought they were buying high-end vehicles for $350,000, according to Chief Deputy Bureau Detective Jason Falk from the sheriff of Stutsman County.

Falk said seven people from out of state wired the scammer money.

“If you are making an online purchase of a vehicle, it is a very risky proposition because you are convinced that if you are transferring money for something that you have not yet received, you are taking a big gamble” , did he declare. “If that vehicle doesn’t show up, that money is gone or may be gone or most likely is gone if it’s a scammer.”

If Falk was going to buy a vehicle, he said he would drive there to view the vehicle, get the title, pay for the vehicle, and drive away.

Michel’s Auto Sales & Parts LLC sells low-end vehicles, four-wheel-drive pickup trucks, and auto parts such as engines, transmissions, sheet metal fenders, and hoods.
