800-427-2449 / 8004272449

BofA Fraud Protection Dept. Calling because I opened a cash rewards Visa acct. They automatically place a fraud hold on all new accounts. I found this out the hard way because I opened a MasterCard acct with them earlier this year, went to use it the first & it was declined 4 times in a row. Called the bank & was told they wanted to make sure it was really me who opened the account. Said yes & supposedly hold was removed...nope. called back & was told I had to take the card & my ID into a bank, but they couldn't tell me why. I'm disabled & going into a bank is NOT easy, but I went only to be told they don't handle credit card issued in the bank. Finally yelled loud enough to get branch manager to call fraud services & get my card working.NOW...they have placed a fraud hold on a Visa Card I just got in the mail & have not even activated yet. Bottom line...stay away from cards issued by Bank of America unless you don't mind having your charges repeatedly declined, wasting a lot of time on hold with the fraud department or making useless trips into a branch. I'm SORRY I responded to either if their preapproved card invitations. More trouble than theyre worth. Stick to Chase or Capital One. Sorry to vent, lol.

800-427-2449 This IS the fraud protection division of Bank of America. They watch buying habits, etc. I am recently widowed,over age 75 and I appreciate they are looking out for me. There is NO charge for this if you are a customer. People on here whothink there is a boogie man behind every door shouldn't be so hasty to "slam". If you checked it out and found out easily who it was,why are you STILL thinking it is a rip off. This for the lady two entries below this one. It's good to be cautious but not everything isa "steal for profit" exercise.

I just got off the phone with Bank of America -- I called them using the number on my card. THIS NIMBER IS A SCAM!!!!

I received a call, but no message left. If it is BofA, I'm not sure why they are calling me....I don't bank with them?

Just talked with BofA about a call I received from this number. The person I talked with (I called the number on the back of my card to be safe) confirmed that 800-427-2449 is a BofA number that belongs to their fraud department. I made a purchase about an hour before that raised a flag and prompted the call. Still, it's a good idea to call back on a number you know if you have any doubts.

Its a scam - just hung up with BOA fraud dept. BOA Will leave a message and a case number if no answer.
