- Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at Bank of America by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- Bank of America never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
- The anchor text appears as a legitimate URL, but don't be fooled - clicking on it will take you to a phishing site!
- The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.

Dear Bank of America customer,
We recently reviewed your account, and we are
suspecting that your Online Banking account
may have been accessed from an
unauthorized computer.
This may be due to changes in your IP address
or location. Protecting the security of your
account and of the Bank of
America network is our primary concern.
We are asking you to immediately login and
report any unauthorized withdrawals, and
check your account profile to make
sure no change...
