Hello.
E-mails like this are sent out all the time, whether you have an account or
a credit card with the bank in the subject line or not.
I do not know of any banks or credit card companies that would ask you to
verify your personal information through an e-mail; they'll call if they
think there's a problem.
When in doubt, call the financial institution to confirm.
It's also a good idea to get a copy of your credit report once a year just
to be sure everything on there is accurate. Otherwise, you may be very
surprised when you, say, pull it to buy a house or try to obtain another
sort of loan. It can take a while to correct any errors so it's best to
take action as soon as you are aware of any discrepancies.
Similar e-mails have also been sent out over the years claiming to be from
Ebay or Paypal as well.
HTH,
Christina

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.
