If any of you get that e-mail from Bank of America, asking you to log in, be careful. It looks like one sweet fraud setup to me.

The e-mail looks valid, the link looks valid.

Two problems: The link, once clicked, changes to just an IP in the address bar. They spelled "custommersupport" wrong (obviously intentional).

Shoot, they even give a valid phone number.

However, the e-mail originates from AOL/Compuserve and when you go to the page, it's not secure.

Dirty little trick. Not sure if anybody has reported it or if it has spread its wings yet. Obviously, what they get is your bank account(s) and your passwords to them.
