Bank Of America Text Scams: Fake Messages

Bank Of America Text Scams Fake Messages

If you have received the fake SMS texts like the ones below, which appear as if they were sent by the Bank of America, asking you to call a particular phone number, visit a website, or respond to them, please do not. This is because the messages are phishing scams being sent by scammers or cybercriminals, to trick their potential victims into disclosing their Bank of America's account credentials, and their personal and financial information.

Once scammers or cybercrimes have gotten their potential victims' Bank of America information, they will use it to steal their money and use their accounts to commit fraud. Therefore, if you have received messages appearing as if they came from the Bank of America, asking you to call a number or respond to them with your personal or financial information, please do not follow the instructions in the messages and report them to the Bank of America.

If you were tricked into following instructions in a fake Bank of America or BofA message, please contact the Bank of America for help. Let them know that you were ticked by cyber criminals into submitting your account information on a phishing website.

And, always call the Bank of America using the following number:

    I got two text messages within twenty minutes:

  • June 22, 2020 at 9:30 AM by an anonymous user from: Greenville, South Carolina, United States

    I got two texts from scammers pretending to be Bank of America. The first one reads:

    1(410)200-501

    FRM: BnkofAmeerica.

    Follow bofa5e5z.com

    SUBJ: ACCOUNT BLOCKED

    MSG:9528

    The second one came two minutes later.

    The text was identical to the first except

    the phone number was listed as

    1(410)200-500 *Note the phone number is one character shorter than a standard number. And the message reference was different,

    MSG:4813

    The only accounts I have with BofA are loans and since they are always paid on time I doubt very seriously they would block the account. And, I'm quite certain they would spell "America" correctly.
