Shortly after the loss of my husband, Mr. Sunny Morgen (claiming to be with Bank of America), contacted me and advised me that I had won 5 Million dollars. All I had to do was pay the taxes and fees, which would be reimbursed as Mr. Morgen advised he would meet me at my bank with a check to cover the winnings plus fees.

Mr. Morgen had me send him money via Vanilla Visa gift cards from mid-Sept 2021 to mid-Jan 2022, I once sent a USPS Money order on 10/25/21. It seemed as if the more I sent the more was needed, and the money request didn't stop until I stopped paying.

Each time upon buying a gift card I had to call Mr. Morgen and give the numbers off the back of the card.

There was a phone conversation that I end once with Mr. Morgen, and I said, "God Bless You". It was from this point on that Mr. Morgen began quoting scripture and speaking more about the Bible.

This scammer is very nice, very smooth, and happened to catch me while grieving the loss of my husband of 58 years.

Caller/voice recording states that they are Bank of America verifying an Amazon purchase.

Given the option of cancelling the order or pressing 1 to talk to a customer service rep.

Both times I pressed 1 to talk to customer service rep. & call was abruptly disconnected.

On July 29, 2021, I received a phone call from someone claiming to be Bank of America (my bank). The person had called 2 times in quick succession which I had ignored because I believed it to be spam. On the third call, I answered. They announced themselves as Bank of America Fraud protection. Just as a background, a few days prior to this call, the real Bank of America alerted me that someone had used by debit card fraudulently and a new card was being sent to me. Therefore I thought that there was additional fraud being committed on my account. The person on the phone knew the last digits of my debit card and announced that someone was at that very moment was trying to transfer money through Zelle from my account. The person then led me through a series of steps where a Zelle transfer was made from my account to Wells Fargo all under the guise that Wells Fargo would in turn transfer all the money back to my account.. The Zelle transfer email was my email and a confirmation code was texted to me from the bank, which the scammer demanded I give to them because time was of the essence. I initially became suspicious during the call, so I called the number (using another phone) where the scammer was calling from. The announcement on the phone said "bank of america client fraud protection" or something to that effect. I became convinced that it was indeed Bank of America on the phone. The scammer then said, "we need to transfer your entire available balance including savings in order to stop the transfer that was occurring and that they were on the phone with Wells Fargo as we spoke. When I declined the person hung up. I knew immediately that I had been scammed. I contacted my bank and alerted them what had happened. I contacted Wells Fargo to alert them that one of their customers was a scammer. I also received emails from Wells Fargo (remember my email was used for the Zelle transfer) that a withdrawal from an ATM in North Miami was declined 3 times. The scammer had changed their contact email to mine, so I was getting all his email communications from Wells Fargo. A few days later, another email from Wells Fargo stating that my email was changed successfully (the scammer had changed his contact email). Bank of America is still investigating as is Wells Fargo. In the mean time I had to borrow money to pay my rent and I have no idea if I will ever get my money back.

I keep receiving phone calls that I won $1.8 million. My caller ID shows 636-251-5274. They are requesting $1500 upfront. Some type of legal fee. He said I don't have to pay I just transfer the money. I could just give my banking information. The only information I gave out was the name of my bank. I was advised to call Bank of America. 636-251-5274. I called the number. I was transferred to another person. The caller said we have your phone number. They are holding the money for me. I did not pay any money or give any account numbers.

I got a letter first saying that my card was on its way that I requested. I didn't request a card. I don't even have an account with BOA. I did get a card a few days later. I destroyed the card. Then I got an account summary today, with the account number and the total of course zero. She wanted my personal information to close the account. I hung up on her.

I get an automated call stating they are Bank of America and that they have tried to reach me several times about my credit card. Tells me to Press 1 to continue. I do not press anything. I do not bank with this company nor have a credit card with this company. I can't even call the service center with the bank because you have to have an account number to talk with anyone. Some lawsuits need to be filed against Bank of America if this continues.

I received a text message sent to my cell phone from "322-632," saying: "FREE TEXT from Bank of America: Did you use card #**** at VENMO for $381.10 (Declined)? Reply YES or NO. To opt out of text alerts reply STOP."

I do not have a card with this number or any other card with Bank of America. I did not answer the text and I have also reported this to Bank of America at [email protected]

I suspect this was an attempt to get me to reply, providing information about the credit cards that I do have.

I received a call from someone stating they were from Bank of America. They told me there was a suspicious transaction on my account and they wanted to verify the transaction. They sent me a 3 codes and wanted me to read it out load to him. I found that really suspicious so I hung up and called Bank of America to double check. Sure enough it was a scam call and they had gotten ahold of my account! Luckily I was able to change my banking account.
