I am sorry to say that I fell for the scam from "Bank of America" and gave up my bank information. Normally I would have Googled the phone number and I would have realized that it was a scam. However I failed to do it. I went to the nearest B of A branch within 3 hours of falling victim, and had the account closed and a new one opened. I will be more diligent in the future.
