They have called twice, the first time I just ***g up on them when they asked for my account information to confirm that I was who I said I was. Second time I told them to not call back and I was calling BoA to report them. Looking at my caller ID looks like they called a***n. I called BoA Fraud Line and they thanked me for not telling anyone my account number over the phone along with the last 4 of my SSN. Amazing they are still operating.

WARNING!! The caller says they're from Bank Of America, and asks for personal information to be verified, I refused. The person insists that she is from BOA. I ask what is this in regard, she won't tell unless info verified. BOA claims that this is NOT one of their numbers. My BOA account was compromised last week, BOA corrected the issue, but now this is the 2nd call from someone asking for personal info.....I'M NO ****ER....I'M GONNA HAVE FUN PRANK CALLING THEM BACK ALL DAY LONG.
