SORRY I MEANT MAY 20

I received one today March 20.

From: [Unverified-Sender]

(9176757937)
United-Community-Bank Notice.
Please call 505 633 7784

Callback #: 917-675-7937



I called both phone #'s and neither are valid numbers.

My phishing text said it was from Sun-Trust Bank. Asked me to call 888 # above  but came from Unverified sender at 917-5398529.

Text message: "Wells Fargo Bank BAZF alert.  Please call 888-514-3547."

I got the B of A one.  One yesterday and one today with different call back numbers.  The Phisher is hoping  
I'm with B of A.  The call back number is 888-514-3547 yesterday and 855-633-7761 today.  Both are invalid numbers.  The numbers at the top in parenthesis (different each day but both 917 area code) both trace to New York City.  They obviously use a major bank name in the hopes one might think it's their institution trying to alert them like Visa or Master Card alerting to some unauthorized use on your card.  I think if they get a response, they'll tie your phone number to that financial institution and now have at least two pieces of the puzzle.  A lot of people are pretty lame when it comes to protecting info and ID thieves put info together to

Received the same message on 3/23 and 3/24.

Got an "unverified sender" text telling me "Bank of America STAW alert ... please call 314-433-3822

I do not have a Bank of America account. I blocked the call back number through my cell phone carrier today. I cannot block "unverified sender". SCAM... do not fall for this.

Received a text from 9177784279, "BANK-OF-AMERICA QFXB alert 848996. Please call 8885143547".  I received this text on my work cell, which isn't tied to any of my personal accounts, and nor do I have a Bank of America account.  This is obviously a scam.

Similar to the fraud campaign which was exposed here:

Make sure your bank is notified and send them a link to this page as well.

Received this text. I do not bank at WellsFargo:

[Unverified-Sender] (9171985756) WellsFargoBank BHLG alert 825494. Please call 8885143547.



Both the alert number and the phone numbers looked like links.

Received this text earlier today and I have never been a Bank of America customer.

[Unverified-Sender] (9172568919) BANK-OF-AMERICA RZEZ alert 892475. Please call 8885143547.

They don't know which bank you use.  They're indiscriminately texting everybody that they can spam.  I don't use BOA and still got the message, so don't be worried.

There has to be an audit trail.  The authorities need to end their charade immediately.  Can't be too hard to find out who the number is registered to.

I got spammed by these scammers on my Verizon mobile today claiming that my Bank of America card had been locked and I need to call and verify the number.  Thing is, I don't have a Bank of America card.  So, I called the number several times and entered invalid card numbers in an effort to tie up their machine.  It automatically hung up after three attempts.  Then I called in and entered a fake number, then when the machine said, "If it's correct press 1, if not press 2" -- I just put the phone down and let it ask that question for hours.  It continually asks the question in an infinite loop.  I called on two lines and got two of them going.  If everybody that got spammed will do this then it'll eventually overload their machine and nobody will be able to call in.  I recommend doing this only from your home phone.  Otherwise they'll have your cell and you'll get spammed to no end.

You need to cancel your card immediately.  Why do people fall for these scammers?!!!

Got a text message  from 917-931-3887.  Claiming to be a Bank of America NFBE alert. Similar call back messages as above.

This number is a SPAM number and th4e people that own this phone number need to be arrested for bank fraud

I called and was concerned so I gave the info and now after reading this I'm pretty screwed. What should I do...

I didn't know so I did call back. and typed in what they said today. And I told a friend and they said it could be a fraud so now I'm freaking out.

I got a text message today that read how everyone else's is reading...(BOA reference... I am not a BOA customer). A few weeks ago I received a text message from the same sender but they referenced Verizon.  I didn't call back either time.  #LOSERS

I got the text for BoA, called them at my usual number, not the one in the text. They said this is a scam to steal banking info.

Text message claiming that my "gold debit card" from "Bank of America" is locked.
I don't have a debit card from Bank of America.

(9175139261) BANK-OF-AMERICA KHWF alert 919988. Please call 8885143547.
I'm assuming from all the other messages it is a phishing scheme.

I did call them however I didn't put my information out, its a poor setup and I wanted to laugh about it.

Got a text from 9172785216 Unverified Sender
About a BOA alert, I dont have and account with BOA

Says please call 8885143547

I got the same message on my cell phone supposed to be from Bank of America

I got this one too. Just yesterday. Mine said it was from Bank Atlantic.

just got a text message:

"Unverified-Sender" (9173871158) BANK-OF-AMERICA-FKMB alert 994637. Please call (888)-5143547

I didn't call or anything - obvious scam.  I get concerned the number ends up charging me some outrageous amount or something.

I got the same text.   I'm assuming they're just randomly putting bank names?
