So I was called from an unavailable number, and the vm told me to call 1 866 518 1695. I called them and, after multiple attempts to verify my identity (I apparently didn't have the right password), I received a call from 302 458 0973, which I picked up. After I was on hold for 15 minutes (I had asked for a manager) I was called AGAIN from an unavailable number. I upgraded to a manager and I asked him to provide any proof that he was who he was, and he pretty much said he couldn't. I then called the number on the back of my card, and the people at BofA verified that I did in fact talk to someone from BofA.
So, YES my 302 caller WAS legit...but it's SO STUPID that they can't verify themselves when they tell you to call...esp re a fraud / change in personal info situation. It's been 45 minutes since the situation started and I'm still typing this.
