(BankOfAmerica-UrgentMessage:  Call 331-208-9037
I called the number, an automated voice said there was fraudulent activity
on my bank of america card (i don't have a bank of america account or card!)
They wanted me to type my 16 digit number, a scam for sure!!

Received a message from 619-573, which also happens to be the first digits of my phone number. The message read, exactly like this, "BankOrAmerica- UrgentMessage,Call: (331)208-9037"
Funny how they are acting as Bank OF America, yet they titled themselves Bank OR America. I knew it was a scam, therefore I did not call. I don't even bank with them.

I called the number, an automated voice said there was fraudulent activity on my bank of america debit card (i don't have a bank of america debit card!)

Received a message from 619-573, which also happens to be the first digits of my phone number.
The text message read from: "BankOrAmerica" (not "Bank OF America"). This is a scam.

I just got one too.
I got one before and called the Bank first, and they tol dme they do not call people for things like that.
Its a scam

i got a text message to call Bank of America 331-208-9037 and deleted the message based on info from this website - thanks

got a text asking for an urgent call to this number - computer response asked me to dial 1 to reactivate my bank-of-America card- anyone know what that does for them other that let them know I have a card?

It's a scam to get your card number.  Call the phone number on the back of your BofA card instead, if you're not sure if this is legitimate or not.  Remember that your card issuer and bank will NEVER ask you for your card number - they already have it.  Nor will they ever ask for your PIN.

Boyfriend received a message from this number; BankOrAmerica.  We knew it was a scam, so I looked it up online and, sure enough, found the comments listing it as such.  Interesting most of the comments were posted within the last 48 hours; must be a new scam.

Just got a text 619-787- (my cell #) saying call Bank of America urgently fraudulent activity on debit . You call and it says push 1 to reactivate my debit card then wanted the 16 digit card # !  Wasn't to sure so, I hung up and checked here first !!!!

"BANK OR AMERICA"? HOW DUMB CAN THESE PEOPLE BE! SCAM FOR SURE. DELETE THE MESSAGE FROM THESE IDIOTS. NEVER DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CHECKING FIRST.

I just got a text asking me to call BankOrAmerica with the same number.  I also knew it was a scam because Bank of America would never text something like that, AND...BankORAmerica???

I received a text message also from Bank Or America 331-208-9037.  I don't have an account tere but my huband does.  I caalled the number and when they asked for the 16 digit account number I hung up.  My husband then called the real BofA and they said they have reeived hundreds of phone calls regarding the same thing.

Bank Or America text. [***] third world countries.  

Received a message from 21078811 The message read, exactly like this, "BankOrAmerica- UrgentMessage,Call: (331)208-9037" I read the bankoramerica so fast I thought it was BankOfAmerica. I called the number and the automated voice said there was fraud activity on my account and if I would like to re-open enter my  account number. I hung up and took a nap.

If you want to have some fun with them, go to this site and put in one of the numbers:

http://www.getcreditcardnumbers.com/

The numbers will check as valid but of course are not tied to a real account. They are normally used for testing merchant card readers etc.  Since the number checks as "valid" the automated call may just end with a generic message that your card has been reactivated. If it asks for an expiration date and security code, make something up.

Nice surprise for the scammers when they try to use one of these numbers.

I usually give them when they ask for a CC#: 4444333322221111.  Then a ton of other false information.  They accept it as valid every time.

I too got this "Urgent Message" SMS from Bank Or [sic] America.

It's fake.  Don't give them your CC or Debit number.

I have also received a text message stating Bank of America has seen fraudulent activity on my credit card. I called the number a cursed them out..same with my response text..a good tongue lashing..I am curious has to how these scams get peoples cell number to send texts.

True the automated scammer systems often take any 16 digit string but when they review the numbers received, discard they obvious fake ones. The advantage of using numbers from the site I linked is first, the initial 4 digits will match the card type. Second, there is a little computer program that can test for a valid number. These numbers pass that test so the scammers cannot tell if they are real or fake until they actual try and use one. Third, even if they know about that site, each time you load the page, a different set of numbers is generated. I am not sure how many valid but unusable numbers that site can generate before repeating but I would bet it is quite a few more than they would take the time to wade through checking to see if a number that passes the 1st two tests is real or not.

They use a computer program that sends texts to all possible numbers in a sequence. They don't care how many do not go through since even a tiny number that generate a CC# response represent a win for them.
