I got that two days ago. Forward the email to abuse@bankofamerica.com out of the goodness of your heart.

 

[ultimatebob]

Yeah, I got it as well. Does BoA have a fraud division to forward these things to like PayPal does?

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

My wife just got a very similar email but it was for paypal. Instead of linking to paypal.com, it linked to pay4mypal.com.

I've gotten a paypal scam email before and I don't even have a paypal account. Never received a BoA scam email in 7 years of having an account there.

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Oh God, there was a time I got like 5 of those a day. It's a scam. When I'm bored I fill out a username thats like FVCK YOU and a password that's like PWNED and send it off to the scammer

I've been getting a whole lot of BofA phishing emails lately. I wish they would stop slipping through gmails filter.

EE's do it 'till it hertz, right?

 

[CorCentral]

It is Bank of America anyway. Giving bank accounts to Illegals with no SS#
I moved my money after hearing of this. Luckily I moved soon afterward so did'nt worry much.
You try to get any Bank account as an american citizen without your SS#........... They laugh at you and say: Sorry, we cannot help you...... Bye Bye!

 

[Atvar]

Ha yea got that e-mail last night.

If you want an account with the terms the illegals will get then you are welcome to it. Personally I will keep mine as is.

 

[Kev]

yeah it had me going until I saw the link

 

[Sphexi]

Yeah, only a few hundred times since a few years ago. But until this thread I had never realized it was a hoax!

 

[Casawi]

I thought it was real because my card wasn't working that day, so I called the bank and made sure.

What are these "terms" for Illegals only?

No idea on checking/savings accounts, but I know for credit cards they offer that crappy 99/500 card. (Basically semi-secured, you plonk down $99 for a $500 credit line) and the terms aren't very favorable.

Not that they should complain, of course.

 

[soydios]

I got a similar email from <no-reply@gmail.com>

It didn't go to an "<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://www.bankofamerica.com/">https://www.bankofamerica.com/</a>" website. It didn't display my SiteKey. And it asked for both my username and my password on the same page. RED FLAG.
