Scam Bank Email : Bank of America Customer Service

Jerks. These scammers have sent an email, posing as Bank of America, and their pitch is that their computers have been broken into, and to secure yourself, you had better click on the link below. Which is the least secure thing you could do! If you click on that link, the link may drop cookies onto your computer and record keystrokes you have typed in for passwords and addresses and such, or you will be frightened into providing personal information right into their hands.

For whatever reason, the scammers did not send the email straight from bankofamerica.com. The email address, as shown below, says bankoffamerica.

Here's the scam email (which is not from Bank of America):
from: boasdas@bankoffamerica.com

"We recently have determined that different computers have logged onto your Online Banking account, and multiple password failures were present before the logons. We now need you to re-confirm your account information to us.

If this is not completed by September 16, 2007, we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you for your cooperation in this manner.

To confirm your Online Banking records click on the following link:
