This is the what the email address looked like:

Bank Of America [onlinebanking@bankofamerica.com]

 

It really looks correct but it isn't.... don't be fooled  check out the links in the email see what address they go to.  Just thought I would share and remind people to make sure when you send your information you know where it is going to.

 

The funny thing is I don't have a bank of america account... so that doesn't even stop them from sending fake emails.
