  • 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 REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.bankofamerica.com/creditcards/ sas/signonScreen.do?updateprofile".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual Bank of America URL.
