Customer Experiences & Warnings
-
Spoofed Calls: Scammers often use spoofed caller ID to make it appear as though they’re calling from Bank of America (e.g., even showing 800‑432‑1000). They may create a sense of urgency—always be cautious.
-
Never Call Suspicious Numbers: Always refer to the number printed on the back of your card or found in your online banking to verify legitimacy.
-
Phishing Via Text or Email: If you’ve clicked a link or shared sensitive info, immediately report to abuse@bankofamerica.com.
-
Identity Theft Precaution: If you suspect identity theft, also monitor your credit and consider placing fraud alerts or freezes with major reporting agencies.
