Bank of America Check Refund Phone Scam Calls From 679-756-9642 and 206-201-2821

Bank of America customers beware of phone calls from telephone numbers: 679-756-9642 and 206-201-2821, where the callers claim to be from Bank of America. The callers or scammers will claim that someone tried to refund a check in the potential victims' names and they need to verify their information.

They will ask to confirmed social security number and other sensitive information that they need to steal the victims' identities.

The Bank of America and other banks will never call their customers and ask them to verify their personal and financial information, especially their social security numbers, over the phone,via text or email messages.

The scammers may call from other telephone numbers, or may send text messages (SMS) or email messages requesting the same information. But, it doesn't matter where the request for information came from, banking customers are warned never to send or disclose their information, because doing so will allow scammers to steal their identities.
