I have received numerous phone calls from this phone number from someone claiming to be from Bank of America. They want to speak to me about my Bank of America Account. Of course I never provide any additional information and simply take down the number and a message but they never want to leave a message.

So what’s going on here? I do occasionally receive legitimate phone calls from credit card companies and banks in the event of potential fraud on my account. Sometimes I will get a phone call to verify that large charges (especially outside of my local area) are valid.

Protecting your personal information is very important these days, so I decided to contact BofA to inquire about this mysterious phone number. This is the email I received back:

Dear [],

To sum up, phone calls from 800-4570-3732 are NOT coming from any bank or financial institution. These people are trying to steal your information which leads to IDENTITY THEFT. Tell them to put you on the do not call list and never provide any more information to these criminals.
