The Bank of America - Unauthorized Access on Your Account (Move to Inbox) Phishing Scam

The email message below with the subject: "Bank of America: Unauthorized Access on Your Account (Move to Inbox)," which appears as a Bank of America alert, claiming that there has been unauthorized access to the recipients' Bank of America accounts, is a phishing scam. The fake or phishing email message was NOT sent by the Bank of America(BoA), but by cybercriminals, who are attempting to trick their potential victims into visiting a phishing website that will steal their Bank of America online accounts' username and passwords, personal and financial information. Therefore, recipients of the fraudulent email message should delete it and not follow the instructions into it.
