Online banking scam

[jwmorrice]

I'm not a BofA customer so I knew right away this email was a scam. The spelling and grammar also leave something to be desired. However, it had a plausible online source address, i.e. onlinebanking@alert.bankofamerica.com Just trying to entice the unwary to hurriedly click on a link and enter their banking info. Gotta be careful out there.

This kind of shit has been going on for years. The first time I saw it, it was the Royal Bank and the link to the supposed website was first rate. (I imagine back then that it was new, so it attracted the best thieves, whereas now, everyone is wise to it.)

Anyway, never give anyone your banking ID.

If you get a call, or email, call the number on the back of your bank card.
