Yeah...so this sucks.
My dad received an email from Bank of America (so he thought) stating that somebody was trying to login to his account or something and his account was locked. They asked him to click on the link and enter ALL his personal information (SSN, drivers license number, BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER, ROUTING NUMBER, mothers maiden name, dob, credit card number, address, debit card pin number, userid, freaking everything).
My dad called my sister after getting this email and she told him she lost her debit card (she loses everything) so he thought things were making sense and submitted it. He called Bank of America, and this is where he found out it was a spoof email. My sister then told me about it, I called my dad and asked him to send me that email, it's a freaking link to a russian website that looks legit but the url is for a russian site.
I'm not worried about the bank account, I told my dad to lock it down and have everything changed. Problem is, this site now has his address, phone number, drivers license number, social security number, etc. Can *ANYTHING* be done to protect him at this point?
