ALERT! BANK ACCOUNT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS

I know this issue has been going on and on but it doesn't hurt to remind others about these people who knows nothing but to scam. I got this e-mail from "Bank Of America" Online-Services@Online-Update.com. Below was the content of the e-mail.

I couldn't attached the BOA logo properly but when you receive the actual e-mail the logo was duplicated very well. I am aware of the fact that, never click links if you receive an e-mail like this because it might be virus or it could be other things.

I got nervous when I read this e-mail, imagine if somebody can get hold of my bank account O boy I'll be in deep trouble I mean big trouble. I could lose the money that I have been saving since I started working. But on the other hand I am so reluctant to click the link so what I did was I chatted with a representative of BOA and told him my concern and this was our conversation:

I understand your concerns regarding the suspicious e-mail
you received. I will definitely assist you with this.
Raymond: Bank of America does send e-mails to notify you of account activity.
Raymond: However, we will never ask for any personal or sign in information. Any e-mail asking for this type of information would be considered fraudulent.
Raymond: Therefore, I recommend you to please forward the e-mail you received to
abuse@bankofamerica.com. This will allow us to research the origin of the
e-mail. Last text message received Raymond: If the e-mail is not legitimate; we
will work with the authorities to prosecute the creators of this e-mail and let
you accordingly.

Thanks God I didn't click the link!
