As a Bank Employee of a different company not BOA, I can give a rule of thumb, never respond to any email from a "bank" that asks you to verify your SS number, that is a definate "Phish". If one does appear, please call the bank in question and alert them. If banks are made aware of someone using their name to "Phish" they will launch an imediate investigation to stop it from happening to others. Also the same goes for phone calls. If someone claims to be from your bank and wants to verify your SS, HANG UP!!, and call your local branch and let them know. A lot of elderly folks fall victm to this-TJ
