Thanks for this information e.
Obviously villains are looking at your personal data closely, and, may I
add, very ineptly.
Changing your email address may be a good start.
I'm sorry, I don't have much experience with this kind of villainy--my
problems usually begin when they change my homepage or other similar
tomfoolery.
Please be careful.
To the rest of us on the list, these guys tend to go through their subject's
address list for potential suckers like the rest of us. Therefore, we may be
wise to look out for similar scams.
If I can help in any way, please write me off list at rwiley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am not an alarmist (in fact it sounds like E got a handle on this from the
beginning), but this does sound like a legitimate threat.
(Sounds like a kid, or someone with very limited experience with hopes of
grandeur.
Bob
But, please contact me if I can help.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] ot bank of america scam
I just got a message from somebody claiming to be Bank of America.
It said somebody tried to access my account. It said I needed to go to a
site and do things.
Luckily the person writing the message made several spelling errors, and
used a email I do not have listed with a bank.
My friend also got a call from Bank of America yesterday.
Somebody claiming to be his daughter had called the bank. She had his
social security number and address as well as birthday and other
identifying information.
She said he had died and wanted a check cut by Bank of America.
He is alive. He has no daughter to the best of his knowledge (grin)
Please be careful folks.
I may change my email address.
This stuff is getting close to home.
E.
