Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

They called me saying that they were from Bank of America and they had a check from Publisher’s Clearing House and that they would be depositing that into my account. I did not give them permission to do any such thing. These individuals, Michael Scott and Janet Jenkins, said they opened an online checking account my name, supposedly with the Bank of American 84818 Barley St, Manhattan location.

I called Bank of America directly, which that number did not match at all the numbers that these individuals gave me, and they said they do not have a location in Manhattan at all.

The only information I gave them was the ID number off of my Ohio State ID. They asked for my SS# and debit card number, but I refused to give them that. I don’t do online banking and told them so.

Type of a scam Phishing

On various days I would receive bank spam mail, especially from companies I’ve never heard from. The only banking emails that are important to me are those from the bank I’m signed up with. I’ve been with that particular bank for years now and throughout those years I’ve never received spam mail from that company.

So when I suddenly receive spam mail from my bank, I found it suspicious.

I always receive their notifications, both by text and email. And one of the specific warnings towards the end of that notification email is:

We’ll never ask for your personal information such as SSN or ATM PIN in

email messages. If you get an email that looks suspicious or you are

not the intended recipient of this email, don’t click on any links.

Instead, forward to [email protected]? then delete it.

Please don’t reply to this automatically generated service email.

Received a voicemail from 352-279-5511, claiming to be from Bank of America regarding an account that they claimed was going to be cancelled/expired today. I called them back and went through an automated system, pressed 0, a man answered and I advised if the message I received and something about a balance. I asked who they were and what card this was about, he stated Bank of America, I asked them who they were trying to reach because I do not have an account with them and he hung up. I tried to call back and the phone stated my call was barred.
