<p>so i got a "bank of america alert" notice through e-mail</p>
<p>anyone else get this?</p>
<p>im guessing this is the work of the hacker who got a hold of 800,000 names. i know this because i dont even have a bank of america account :rolleyes:</p>
<p>ah no. but i get all other kinds of crap in my UCLA account so i wouldn't be surprised if i have stuff like that in there. i think im just going to do a mass delete of that box since i have so much stuff ive never opened just sitting there.</p>
<p>i got that too and i dont have an account there as well. pretty funny.</p>
<p>I got that and lottery prizes from some African country</p>
<p>You mean the lottery prizes from Africa aren't real??</p>
<p>Yeah, I got the BofA e-mail, and I do have a BofA account, but I've never given them my e-mail address. So that was rather telling.</p>
<p>I also got a phishing e-mail from PayPal, asking for all sorts of weird info.</p>
<p>lol weird, I got "inheritance money" from some African country</p>
<p>I've been getting phishing scams and Nigerian hoaxes long before this hacker incident. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>those things are fun. I like to click on the link which always takes you to some page that looks like the official ebay login page, or the BofA page, or whatever. It asks for username and password, so they can harvest them and sell them to other crooks. You can guess what profane things I fill in :D</p>
<p>My friends who aren't at UCLA get the BofA email...I don't really think it's the work of the hacker?</p>
<p>One of my friends got scammed and had to cancel his account =[</p>
