Bank of America Alert Phishing Scam

$

I just received this email.  I have a Bank of America account yet I instantly knew this was fake.

Here is what it looked like and how you can tell it’s fake.

 First of all, Signin isn’t a real word.  This should be enough to make you delete it.

Second, Bank of America does not send email from customer@mail.com

Third, my email address is not even in the To: field.

Fourth, B of A will not attach an HTML form for you to fill out.  HTML is for the web.  They will either send you a link or ask you to call customer service.

Fifth, This font looks “totally” credible.

Sixth, Since they are sending me an email about my account, they know who I am, and therefore would not address it to “Dear Customer”.

When you get emails like this, do a quick exam.  This is actually one of the better ones.  Most of them have significantly more spelling and grammar errors.  Keep in mind, this is supposed to be coming from one of the largest banks in the world.  Does this really look like something they would send?

When in doubt, delete it and call customer support on a number you look up yourself, not one listed in the email.
