Beware of Bank Fraud

Today I got an email from Bank of America stating that an Online Transfer account had been added to my account. We of course I had not added an account. I lokked at my account and somebody set up an account and attempted to transfer $1000.00 out of my account. I immediately called BOA and had to change ALL of my banking onformation and had to cancel my bank cards.
How did they access my information? Well I feel real stupid, but I recieved an email from supposedly BOA asking to update my information. I was hesistant but the email, fine print, and everything looked official. Well it wasn't and I got screwed. So beware of this fraud attempt. I must now also inform the Credit Bureaus that I am a victim of Online Identity theft. this sucks, but I'm happy I did get my money back.
