If you use Bank of America and get online messages, be aware that an unsavory person or persons are sending out BOGUS messages for you to UPDATE your info.
Thank goodness I have Firefox! it told me the e-mail alerts were false, then I read them. They ask for you to verify your info, then unknown to you, your info will be used to clean your account out.
If you don't have security in effect, then a CLEAR warning sign is the misspelling in the e-mails.One said : "BOA launch new security" instead of launches, and the other misspelled recieved as "recived". I sent both to Bank of America ~Fraud alert~.
if you do get any of these,let your bank know. It COULD save your account monies!
JEEZE, I am SOOOO TIRED of Fraud!

I never click on anything inside e-mails to forward me to update or whatever. Always go to the site you think it's supposed to be from on your own and log in, if there's stuff you need to do you can find out on your own.

Another way is to let your mouse hover over the link. In most browsers, it will pop up (or show at the bottom) the entire link. Some of them start out looking correct but have other stuff after. Some don't even try to disguise the link, assuming we're all idiots. Know the correct URL for your banks and credit cards so you can recognize the fake ones. When in doubt ... don't use the link but type in the correct URL yourself, go to the site and see what it says there. Most companies have a way to leave a message for you.
They get better and better all the time. It's very annoying. :(
