8662314406

Yep, definitely a scam!
Happened to me today.
My Ex contacted me and told me that he had received a call from Bank of America on his cell (!) and that they had left a message for me on his voicemail giving those same phone numbers 866-512-7171 and 866-231-4406 the last one with a message code you're supposed to enter. I was immediately suspicious.
Here's why:
Bank of America CAN'T call me via his cell number, regarding my accounts, because I have never GIVEN them my Ex's cell number in connection with any account of mine - EVER! - We've been apart for 8 years! And why would they not have called MY number?

First I called B.o.A. directly and asked them if they were aware of any scammers using these numbers. Not only did they NOT know of this, the agent actually recommended I call the number and put in the code to see what happens! When I asked her, "how would I know that the person that answers actually is a B.o.A. agent and not a scammer?" she didn't know what to say.
So I typed the numbers into a Google search and up came this site. Thank you all, for your input! (Except, of course, for those liars who say the numbers are ligit!)
Next I called Bank of America's Fraud Dept. via a direct number and reported all this in detail. Even gave the agent this site address, so he could verify what I was saying. He noted all the information, but pretty much acted like he really didn't care.
You know what's sad?
At the end he told me that any Bank of America customer is protected by their fraud protection anyway... which pretty much told me how far my report was going to go... File#13.
And that's why phishing and ID-Theft keeps flourishing, and people get their lives thrown into the mess of trying to clear their name.
All we can do is report it and talk about it to make others aware on sites like this, and hope they're smart enough to check first and give info later - OR - not at all!

I thought the same thing when they called me. I told them I had a bofa account but that the person they were trying to call wasn't me. They told me that they would remove my number. I totally thought they were full of [***] so I called my branch manager in milwaukie, oregon. she 3-way called the office and personally with me on the line verified their office code and manager. Branches and offices have office numbers tied to each one and my bank in milwaukie, oregon has that system. it IS NOT a scam and you could owe them some money. they also could have an old cell phone number. It's so funny that I read all of this [***] from people saying they know its a scam and blah blah blah. My branch manager has always jumped through hoops for me and this center in Fresno, CA is a new branch of BofA to have people re-open their accounts. I'm sure someone will say im full of [***] but I am telling you, maybe you closed an account and your still getting fees. It happened to a family member. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. I was scared shitless after telling them my name and my access ID code to link my number to my own account as my wife and I use her cell phone. I freaked out on the guy who answered and was much embarrassed to have my personal banker go out of her way to do that for me.

I had  message on my answering machine, an automated voice, asking me to call 866-231-4406 and enter in 819876. I in fact did make the call and was on hold for about 5-10min. Eventually a live person (sounded female) answered and asked me to verify my phone # which I did and then asked for my password which I declined doing so. I asked what the nature of the call was or if there was an issue with my account but the person said that they could,t give out any further info until I verified password ... we just parted ways.

I keep getting these, asking for my son, who is away at college. Since he's occasionally "forgotten" to take care of some bills in the past, I thought it might be legit. I'm glad that I googled the number, not that he'd be foolish enough to give out personal info, but someone else might and I am concerned for them.

i got this call today. it was a TOTAL FRAUD, don't believe it. i'm so glad i googled the number and found this.

I got the call AND IT WAS LEGITIMATE.  Here's what I did.  I told the 866-231-4406 guy that I would not give out info.  He said fine and gave me the other number.  I did not call that number.  Instead I called the number on the back of my debit card and eventually talked to a human and it turned out the call was legit last night.  My dauhter's account was overdrawn and they wanted me to either close it or fund it with a deposit.  

My suggestion:  Don't give out ANY INFO when someone calls you, instead get a phone number from a legitimate source such as the back of your credit or debit card or from your monthly bank statement or credit card statement.  Then call that number and ask "Are you people trying to get in touch with me?"

This google thing is great and if I had not read all of the posts here I would have just thought it was another one of these scammers that seem to call me almost every single day.  remember - never tell anybody anything unless you know for sure who you are talking to.

(SCAM) I just received a message to my cell.  I called BOA directly and they had nothing on file that they needed to speak with me about. When I gave them the number - they said it was NOT a BOA number.

I called the scam number-put my "file number" in.  Gave my name and to press 1 if it was me or 2 if it was not me.  I pressed 2. The recording apologized for the call.

A rep called and left a message to call BOA and enter code. I called and they used a married name that I have not used in 10 year. The rep ask for my birth date and ss#. I felt uncomfortable and told them that I wanted to go to the branch to handle what ever it is they are calling me about. The rep said you can go to your branch, but the branch will have to contact their department to get the information anyway. Call it intuition; I told the rep that I felt uncomfortable and want to verify that they are infact BOA. I googled the number and saw all the complaints. Some one should put these theives out of business.

I have spoken with Bank of America and THIS IS A SCAM.
They stated if Bank of America were to call you they would not ask for information such as your address and date of birth and there is NEVER a message code. When these scams are ran they start with smallest of information to get you comfortable because if they asked for your account number right off it would really seem suspicious... If you get these calls HANG UP and call 800 432 1000 that is the BOA number. And like someone else said BOA would never have techno music playing at a legitimate call center. People beware, these times are hard please hold on to your information, information is power.
866 512 7171 called but 866 231 4406 was the return number

I got the same call.  I called back Bank of America customer service number from their website and spoke to the fraud department.  They told me that the number is legitimate and it is in fact Bank of america.  Also told me that if I feel uncomfortable giving any personal information on the phone.  Just get the department the person is calling from and call back bank of america through the main telephone number on the website or debit card.  But the number 866-231-4406 and 866-512-7171 is legit people.

received a recorded message on my cell phone from this number. i don't even do business with b of a.

They've been calling my number for many months.  I never answer. They leave a message for someone I've never heard of.  If it were so important, by now they would have checked phone records and seen that they have a wrong number, or they would have sent a letter by now.  I have now blocked the number.  But I'm thinking about forwarding the calls to the FBI... if that's possible.

I just got a call on my cell phone from 866-512-7171. It was a recording saying they were from BofA and said "If this is Sally Lewis please press 1, if this number belongs to someone else, press 2." I pressed 2 and it said to hold while it connected me to a customer service representative. I hung up. I don't even bank with BofA nor do I ever put my cell number on anything. Definitely a scam!

Just received this call from the 4406 number for the second time. Called B of A. They said it is NOT one of their numbers and they would never call like that. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

I get this call all the time! i am not even old enough to have a Bank Of America Account! I told my mom and she called the bank and found out it was FRAUD! Definitaly DO NOT call them back!

Got a missed call from 866-512-7171.  A message was left stating to call 866-231-4406 and enter message code 955716.

They wanted to verify personal info prior to providing the nature of the call.  However, my sixth sense told me that this was a fraudulent call, which I indicated to the "representative". I did not provide him with any info, and hung up.

I then contacted Bank of America where the representative shared with me that there were no messages on my account and advised me to report the "fraudulent" phone call.

This is CRAZY!
I can't believe they are still able to try and SCAM especially because I know many people would and have fallen for this.
Thank you all for posting because I probably would've called the number back.

this is a b of a number thats letting you know that your account is overdrawn and in danger of being sent to collections!
if you dont believe it call the regular customer service and have them connect you to 8665127171.... theyll let you know that you owe money on your checking account

I got this call and was scared when they started asking for account information. I asked for the guy's name and hung up, then directly called the official BOA customer support line at 1.800.933.6262. They confirmed that a call had been made and that the teller noted I thought it was a fraudulent call. I asked the cust. service person if she knew the time of the call and the name of the caller. She knew the exact time the call had been made and told me the correct name of the caller without me mentioning his name. Clearly this is a legit call.

I asked the new cust. service guy what this automated call center was all about. He said that when an account is overdrawn for more than 20 days, a flag gets put on the account and it goes to this automated message center. He also said that it takes 3-5 business days to update the account before this call center is notified. In my case, I had already solved the issue by the time the automated phone call was made.

This is NOT a fraud call. My advice is to simply call BOA directly or walk into the bank and take care of your overdraft fees. It's good to be careful of who you give personal info to, but it's better to keep track of your money and resolve any overdraft issues immediately!

I received a call from 866-512-7171 but I did not answer. I believe ALL scams like this should be reported so that people do not suffer at the hands of evil thieves.
