Bank of America customers received a fraudulent e-mail asking them to enter personal financial information at a copycat Web site, the bank said this week.
Authorities have shut down the fraudulent site, but the bank is contacting customers who responded to the e-mail to help them change passwords and protect their accounts.
Less than 75 people responded, according to the bank. These customers will not be held responsible for any fraudulent activity on their accounts, it continued.
The bank added that it does not contact customers to request or verify passcodes or PIN numbers. However, it asks for that information when customers call to verify their identities.
