Date: Thursday 03 February 2011
From: Bank of America 

Dear Bank of America Customer,
As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the Bank 
  of America system. We recently contacted you after noticing an issue on your 
  account.

We requested information from you for the following reason:

We recently received a report of unauthorized credit card use associated 
with 
  this account. As a precaution, we have limited access to your Bank of 
America 
  account in order to protect against future unauthorized transactions.
Case ID Number: BOA-581-472-569
This is a reminder to restore your account as soon as possible.

Please download the form attached to this email and open it in a web 
browser. 
  Once opened, you will be provided with steps to restore your account access. 
  We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure account safety.

In accordance with Bank of America's Customer Agreement, your account 
access 
  will remain limited until the issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, if 
access 
  to your account remains limited for an extended period of time, it may 
result 
  in further limitations or eventual account closure. We encourage you to 
restore 
  your Bank of America account as soon as possible to help avoid this. We 
thank 
  you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please understand that this is 
  a security measure intended to help protect you and your account. We 
apologize 
  for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,

  Bank of America Security Center

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, email form, or by phone at (801) 277-0888.
