Bank of America has suspended my account. Seems someone has been trying to access my account on line. Funny though. I don't have an account with Bank of America. Yep, got an e mail saying I better contact them. SURE​...

Mine was from Fed-Ex. I had a high value package, but they needed some personal information to make sure I was the right one.
I called Fed-Ex and asked. As soon as I said, high value. He stopped and asked if I had done anything. I said, No. He went on to tell me about the scam and several people receiving the same e-mail.

When I get that :cus: in the inbox; the toilet gets flushed PRONTO! :thumbup: :gaah:

[bruiser]

Yeah, I flushed it too. Been getting calls on my cell phone as well. When I answer it's a recording telling me to contact my account manager. For what account??? That goes in the disregard file. I hate cell phone numbers anyway. Mine apparently belonged to a Hispanic person. When I got the phone I started getting calls from people asking for so and so with a Hispanic name. Some were in Spanish, I just said I don't speak Spanish and hung up. By the way, mine is a dumb phone. I'm not smart enough for a smart phone.

My Dumb Phone is STILL way smarter than I am! :gaah: :roflblack:

Banks do not contact customers via e-mail about any account discrepencies or problems. Any bank that needs you to verify account numbers, is totally bogus.

Banks will contact you by phone sometimes if they suspect credit card fraud. They will usually ask you to verify one of the security questions you have on file. They will also be able to give you a history of your purchases by CC.

The big scammers like to use big name CC providers, because the odds are better for them to make a "hit" on their scam. I do not use major providers for that very reason.

Beware, beware, beware. :sour:

The post about cell phones brought back a memory. I had the cell a few years, then started getting "bad credit", "overdue billing" on mine. I was patient for a little bit then got rather nasty with whoever. this started and stopped a couple times. It had been a while and I got another call for Him/her. (the name has raical conentations). I asked if these was another bill collector. I was not very nice at that point. The female said, she was calling about something else, then also laughed. She was very nice and asked me to confirm, my name and phone number. I did. Then she was real close to laughing as she said, we were trying to call him to come back to work at GM. She thanked.

I got an email a while back about calling for a review on my account, but it was at a bank where I don't have an account. I got all the information I could without giving them any, took it to the local office of the bank, and got a call a few days later that the people had been "taken into custody". Works for me.
