phishing scams Question And Answer
I got a phishing scam from "Bank of America Security Center [bankofameerica@yahoo.com]" who do I send it to?
Unless Bank of America is using Yahoo I got the above phishing scam. Who at Yahoo do I send this info to, in order for appropriate actions to be taken?
Thanks

Look up the official Bank of America Website online. A big professional corporation such as this does not use a Yahoo Acccount to email their Customers. I believe they may have a Fraud Report section where you can cut and paste the fake email that you received and send it to them for investigation. You can also call a BofA branch and ask for the contact email address.
SPAM - there is a tab at the top. check the junk and then press SPAM. it will be removed from your inbox and to the proper place for yahoo to deal with.
Don't open the email..
From Bank of America's site:
To report a suspicious email that uses Bank of America's name, forward it to us immediately at abuse@bankofamerica.com.
Bank of America will then contact Yahoo (& they probably have already).
