1. Yes - Can you do a View Source on the message?

Definitely a phishing attempt. If you look at the source, you will find that the links are not to the domain they purport to be for.

[nini]

2. yes

I don't even have to look it up anywhere..

stay away from that.

[trumad]

3. Of course it is

[NMDemDist2]

did you get this by email? it has all the looks of a scam

esp asking for your account info

[LoZoccolo]

4. Oh yeah.

It's called "phishing". They're hoping they hit a few people who do have a Bank of America account. If they send out a ton of emails, chances are some of them will, and maybe a few will fall for it.

5. Send me your SS#, bank account#,and all other important information and I will tell you

Good grief. Never ever ever tell anyone your information online. No reputable company will ever ask you for that information.

This is a scam. Stay away from it. Delete it from your mailbox now.

6. If someone called you and said ....

what is your credit card number and your ATM PIN - would you give it to them?

If so, I have an excellent investment oportunity for you involving buying the brooklyn bridge and the space needle in order to help a nigerian prince recoup his inheritance from a national of your country by wiring money directly to your account after you send this email to 10 people.

13. scam

I have a ranch in Crawford Tx I can sell you!!!!

7. Danger! Danger! Will Robinson Danger!

E-mail rule #1: Never put anything in an e-mail that you wouldn't mind being broadcast around the world.

8. If you DO NOT HAVE an account with Bank of America, then IT IS A FAKE

Even if you did have an account with them, they would NEVER do this through email. They would call you directly and conduct a telephone survey.

[Left Is Write]

11. No bank would ever ask for verification of personal details through email.

The bank itself will also not ask for the code on the back of the card.

[hughee99]

20. Either that, or they would do it

when you are already logged into their secure website. In that case, they'd already have your account information and wouldn't have to ask.

[muriel_volestrangler]

9. Forward the email to Bank of America, or law enforcement

especially if there's a ".com" address (ie registered in the US) involved. One day they might catch the bastards.

[Der Blaue Engel]

10. Duh?

I can't believe anyone would fall for such a thing, but then I can't believe people fall for the Nigerian scam, either, yet apparently they do.

[MazeRat7]

12. You need to ask ? -nt

[Hav]

14. .

Bobbieo, never feel ashamed to ask. This is a serious matter and it's about your money. I hope you haven't given them any information, yet.

It was already said, your bank would never send you emails like this, they would never ask for your pin or your password.
You can assume that pretty much whenever you get emails like this, it is fraud.
If you are in doubt, contact your bank directly via phone. But you can make it a rule that your bank will never ever ask for your password or your pin.

[Bobbieo]

17. I think people should be aware of this.

I'm not part of the military but how many military families are falling for this. Times are tough for them these days!!!

[Az]

19. People should be very aware of this

And I agree with the above statement. Do not be afraid to ask questions. Not everyone learns everything at the same time or place. The day you stop asking questions is the day you stop learning.

15. I received not one but two emails last week telling me

I had won the Irish lottery - many millions of dollars.

[Recursion]

16. Never, ever, ever divulge financial information in response to an unsolicited email or call

period.

If Bank of America wants you to take part in a survey, they can send you an email asking you go their public website and taking it there. Similarly, if someone calls you from Bank of America asking for information, call the bank back by their publicly-available phone number, ask to speak to that party, and continue the transaction if you want to.

18. What's truly nasty is they're attempting to prey on our military.

BoA does have a Military Bank division.

This is fraud, plain and simple; reprehensible no matter WHO the target is, but doubly so considering who they hope to snag.

If you haven't deleted it yet, Forward the e-mail to: [e-mail]

[Bobbieo]

22. Merci beaucoup, muscajun

Oh no!!! I don't delete these things. I was looking for an e-mail address to forward this to B of A. Particularly nasty because they are preying on military familes at Christmas time.

[Nutmegger]

21. Yes

To those who think this is a "stupid question": My older relatives finally learned how to use a computer. Just lay off folks, some don't really know since this is literally a new world to them.

Yes this is a scam. If you haven't deleted it yet, report it the BoA's abuse address.

[Bobbieo]

23. I figured this was a scam just needed verification before I sent it off

to the proper authorities and as usual you knew the answer. You guys are good at this!!!!
