I received a call 11-28-2019 at 7:00 am from Bank of America a Mrs. Nancy Roberts claiming they have had this check for me for a week and a half trying to get a hold of me. They said it was from Publisher’s Clearing House/Reader’s Digest in the amount of $250,000.00. I had given information out on my visa card from that bank, and they instructed me to deposit $2000 into this person’s account named Shanique Samuels in Fort Walton, Florida 32547. Then after the deposit would be made there would be a fed ex arriving this afternoon between 3-4 pm to deliver that check for the amount of $232, 500 on account of $17,000 going to the IRS. After the phone call with them this morning I actually called the Bank of America and the fraud department to let them know what had just happened. They had nothing showing on their system of any such check for me. So they blocked my card right away so no one could have any access to it and issuing me a new one. I did not deposit any money into that account that was sent to me so I have lost nothing. I could’ve lost quite a bit of money if I had proceeded with all of this but I had seen a couple red flags from the conversation alone. That’s why I called the actual Bank of America out of Dallas TX to report this matter. People just be aware of phone calls like these so you don’t fall into any sort of scam just hang up.
Thank You

I don’t understand what the person is conveying nor do I understand how they got my number or what the purpose is for calling me.

After the failed attempt to contact me by phone twice the scammer mailed a letter on cheap copy paper with Bank of America as the letterhead using their logo. Sept. 30, 2018 letter said they would like to speak with me about recent activity on my account that is "inconsistent with my usual activity". I have never applied for a Bank of America account. The next letter dated October 1, 2018 said I had been approved for "your Bank of America credit card account". Furthermore, I would be receiving card(s) within two weeks. No cards have ever arrived. The approved credit limit is $13,000. On the November 1, 2018 letter they said " We’ve completed our review of your claim and consider your dispute resolved". I never contacted them EVER. The letter went on to explain I didn’t have to do anything, I wouldn’t be held responsible for any transactions, they had contacted the consumer reporting agencies and they may contact me again if they need to re-open the case. They suggested I place a "consumer statement alert" with the consumer reporting agencies that they listed and gave phone numbers for those agencies. They gave a phone number 800-472-7970 if I had any questions.

I received an official-looking letter from "Bank of America" warning me that they required information from me or my account would be closed. The information they wanted was my date of birth and my SSN, which they referred to as a "tax identification number." The mailing included the letter in both English and Spanish, as well as what looked like IRS forms W-9 and W-8BEN, and a return envelope that required me to affix postage (a red flag).
The only dealings we have with Bank of America is a VISA card through AAA, which we have had for over 35 years. We do not have an account at BOA. The wording of the letter was suspicious, telling me to act before May 28, 2018 or my account could be closed (another red flag). I called the customer service number of our VISA account and the representative told me that no letter had been sent from them and there were no warnings concerning our account.
I did not respond to the letter and I called BBB.

We received an official looking letter from Bank of America that stated they needed "Critical information about our account status." It said that they were missing or had incomplete information on our account. The letter included an official looking IRS form W-9 which requested a Social Security Number and a signature. About a week after receiving this letter there was a follow up phone call from a very aggressive woman demanding the information. We did not give any information thinking it a bit peculiar that the IRS would use a bank to collect information from us.
We contacted Bank of America who said they had not sent any letter to us and they were sure it was a scam. The letter including the three pages of IRS forms all looked very official and correct, down to the four ways to get in touch with them to confirm and provide information to them. One of them was to contact the nearest financial center (the nearest one is over 200 miles away.) One of the "Red Flags" was that the name they used was my husbands shortened name instead of his longer given name.

The scammer left the following message: She was from the Bank of America and was calling for (she gave my daughter’s correct full name). She said a replacement card for our daughter’s credit card ending in (she gave the correct last 4 digits of the card) had been compromised. She said our daughter should activate the replacement card as soon as she got it because her present card would be closed on June 29, 2017. If our daughter had any questions she should call 1-800-793-5755. This compromise happened through Emergent. Our daughter called Bank of
America using the phone number on the back of her credit card and found out this was a fraud. She ordered a new card. We don’t know how the scammers got her correct full name or the last 4 digits of her card. I haven’t heard of this scam before and wanted to report it.

I received a voicemail from Shirley stating it was Bank of America calling and their was a problem. It went on to say it was their Compliance and Maintenance Monitoring Department and I was to call them back. I do have accounts with Bank of America so I called my local branch. They said Bank of America did not call me and that my accounts are OK. I did not call the number they provided which was 877-488-7842 as my local branch said Bank of America’s phone number starts with 844 number. I believe this call was to compromise my accounts and my identity. Google search has information that this is a scam and other people are reporting this.

Received a phone call, which I ignored, then received a text to call a number. The text stated it was a fraud alert. When the two phone numbers matched I called back. The automated message stated that my debit card with Bank of America was frozen and to unfreeze it I had to confirm who I was. The first thing it asked for was my 16 digit number on the front of my card. I hung up at this point. My debit card is with a credit union and not connected to any bank. I called the credit union this morning and was informed by the teller I talked to that she also got the same alert.
