I got phished from these people in an e-mail from Bank of America; and was having problems in my account.  They knew the last four digits of my account # in the e-mail so I thought this was real.

I got this email too. Number doesn't check out and there are more phishing reports around the web.

However, that web site is registered by B of A

I got an e-mail with the phone number above stating that I missed a payment, which I in fact did. Well, I called the number and made the payment without thinking about it before googling it for details. Afterwards I googled and found this page and another one, both saying that it's a phishing scam. However, I called the number listed on Bank of America's website and spoke to somebody there that verified that the payment I made on the phone indeed went into their system.

Therefore, this looks like it's not actually a phishing scam.

How do you know this is a phishing scam?  How would they have the last four of the credit card number?  I was actually late on a payment, which is why I think I got this email that everyone mentions, and someone else said the same thing, and called the number, then the payment went through.  Evidence points to this not being a phishing scam, am I right?

My wife called 1.866.963.1065, after we received an email (about an actual late payment as some of the other people in this thread did) and gave account number information - the person seemed to have detailed information about her account, but when they asked for more personal information she stopped speaking with them.

She then called Bank of America from a creditcard statement number and they went ahead and stopped the credit card and re-issued.

We recalled the number when we confronted him that we thought he was a scam - he was rude and insisted that he couldn't help us without our account number.  He name "Bob Menas" gave us another number 1-877-733-5734 which seems to be associated with Bank of America.

I called Bank of America fraud office and they said to treat it as phishing.

I then re-called 1.866.963.1065 (from another phone) and gave them a made-up credit card (real first 4 numbers) and they weren't able to "find me in the system."

My wife has a theory that this is a sub-contractor for Bank of America - that doesn't follow security protocol and if they succeed in collecting the late payment they get points, but if they are reported to Bank of America they treat them as a phishing scam. That is just nasty!

I got an e-mail from Bank of America Alert.  I did not respond to the request that I contact this number, 1.866.963.1065.
Always check the web address, customer.assistance.bac@assist.bankofamerica.com
In this case I went to www.assist.bankofamerica.com to have a blank page load with one word, Security on it.

From that point, I went to bank of america and all their number had the 800 exchange, then I searched for the phone number in google.
Because something is wrong, your initial response is to call immediately. In this internet age, I suppose it is best to resists the urge to take care of a matter.

Got an email from customer.assistance.bac@assist.bankofamerica.com,
Logged into my bank center from my phone to check out what had happened. Indeed there was an issue with my account, as the thing stated, however I have already fixed a couple months ago with Bank Of America prior to this day.

After being a little more suspicious I contacted the private chat.

"...
AlexanderBOA: Mark, you have received a scam E-mail it is no from bank of America,
AlexanderBOA: Mark,  Please do not enter any of your personal information and forward it to abuse@bankofamerica.com,
AlexanderBOA: We will prosecute the initiators of this e-mail.
You: customer.assistance.bac@assist.bankofamerica.com
You: and the phone number is: 1.866.963.1065
You: Are you sure it is not a legit email?
AlexanderBOA: Yes, it is an illegitimate e-mail.
..."

The number is to a credit agency that tries to collect on BOA behalf by skimming reports. However, I didn't have a reason to collect, which is why this is just another scammed/phish of a credit agency trying to be the middle man.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOT OFFICIAL BANK OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got an email today. Saying call them immediately regarding accout number ending in 4 digits which does not match my card number. I think this is spam. But after reading more on this forum, how do they know u missed a payment. Also, the email hostname (assist.bankofamerica.com) seems to be ok. Is some one from bank itself playing nasty?

received my second text as my05@infos.com wanted my credit card #### call my bank and reported.
