Do not reply to or contact 1-866-493-7673 sent in fake Bank of America text scams. This is because fake BofA text messages like the one below, which claims a transaction was declined and asks recipients to confirm by replying to 866 493 7673, are being sent by cybercriminals. The fake Bank of America Fraud Department phone number in the text message seems to be associated with call centers operated by scammers pretending to be from BofA.
