1-888-795-6262 - it is a Fake Bank of America Telephone Number

Bank of America customers, please be aware of fake text messages like the one below, or phone calls from 1-888-795-6262. Please do not call the same number and provide the receiver or Interactive Voice Response System (IVR) with your financial information. I got the same SMS text message saying to call Bank of America at 1-888-795-6262 regarding a service matter. I called the number and an Interactive Voice System said: "Welcome to Bank of America."

1-888-795-6262 is a fake Bank of America number, the voice prompt sounds like Bank of America, the lady who answered the phone could not wait to get my account number, my full name, my birthday, my mother's maid name. I did not give anything to her. I told her she should stop doing bad thing, she definitely is well trained, she said I understand your concern, please call the phone number on the back of your card and hang off.
