This caller asked if we had more Merrill Lynch accounts.. I said if you were really from ML you would already know..called Merrill lynch and reported this to them. they also called the joint account holder and they told them the same... get lost....

Several years ago I had the very same experience as Greylady. BAM would not divulge origin of charge except that it was out of country. I also filed a claim which was taken care of . My question is why is BAM still allowing this? They obviously have a severe security problem and choose not to get on top of it. Got the call this morning from "not provided" and don't know if legitimate as I don't answer unidentified calls. Now I'm really afraid after reading the above comments, that BAM/Merrill Lynch has another security breach. This is not the way to make a legitimate contact.

Keep getting calls/voicemail messages from this # from Joshua Giovonovic ext. 1573229. Company name Meryl Edge asking for Katherin Roberts. I returned the call and got an automated system asking for an account #. Being that I don't have an account, I pressed 0# and was connected to an operator asking for name and account#. I didn't give them my name, and since they already have my phone# I let them know that they have the wrong # for this Katherine Roberts and please stop calling. The operator said thank you and would try to find the account to flag it with wrong number. If this is a legit company, glad I could help; if not, I hope the calling stops.

I am hard of hearing and I can't hear too well on my cell phone sometimes. I got a call from 888-654-6837 today. I said no thank you and hung up after he said 2 or 3 sentences I hardly understood and he wasn't even foreign. I have a really hard time with that. I looked it up and found both a ML number and a fraud number. Well, I guess hearing loss does pay sometimes.

late posting on this one:27 December 2013 @ 1052L got a call from [888-654-6837]...CallerID showed [UNAVAILABLE], so I let it go to phone recorder.They didn't leave a message.

I got a call today from this #, but was busy & couldn't answer (No VM left). I have BAM accounts & they spoke to me about Merrill. They said they'd send an email & will follow up with a call. They called a couple days ago from this #, & the woman I spoke to when I called BAM, left a VM. So it's legit. It is BAM/Merrill calling. I guess the hard part is, we don't want to give out our personal info, but neither do they before they verify they're talking to the right person. So if worried, ask them for a call back # & ext., quickly check the number online & call them back if you want. The one thing I'm starting to not like is, I told them I'd think about it & as of right now not ready to switch my trade account with another company to them. So a call here & there is one thing, & I know the Rep is just trying to earn their commission, bonus, etc. But, if they start constantly calling daily, it's really going to bother me & make me not want to deal with them, just because of the daily calls.

They have to verify your identity to ensure they are speaking to the account holder. Of course they had the info, they needed to ensure you were you.

It would be nice if caller id showed as "Merrill Lynch", instead of "Toll Free Caller"
