NO SPAM, PLEASE -- Security Update Notification From Bank of America
A security update notification apparently from Bank of America informing about the freezing of my online bank account with Bank of America due to attempts from different computers to log-in to my account and then providing a link to restore the bank account, which otherwise can be suspended indefinitely.
When I tried to use the link provided, it lead me to following:
This is surely an attempt to trap recipients for their account IDs and passwords to be used by internet fraudsters in their bad intentions.
You know, what makes me suspicious ........ I DON'T HAVE ANY BANK ACCOUNT WITH BANK OF AMERICA.
The mail contents are given below:
