Thanks for the headsup.</p>

I know many people that would fall for that lol, but not me. </p>

maybe you should remove the link...just in case anyone accidently clicks on it.</p>

and 1. i don't check emails and 2. i don't got bank america....so i think i'm safe. thanks anyways for the heads up. </p>

Yeah what happens if you click that link?

Thanks for the heads up- there's been some funny stuff going on with my account so I clicked that link and changed my password.

Its more than bank america. I got one for citibank which was pretty similar and I contacted my bank rep and found out it was bogus. I dont click on email links at all. I read the message, go straight to the site, and access it securely to check. Best way to do it.

Absolutely. I'm not quite sure why neither my new nor my old password are working now, though. </p>
