My 88 year old mother got a call from Bank of America last summer. They wanted to know if she moved to Texas. Someone called them saying they lost their card and wanted a new one sent to Texas. It came to BoA's attention because the person wanted a "deaf alert" on the card and Mom didn't have the alert on her accounts. BoA figured the person had Mom's' info and thought at her age she had a hearing problem. The funny thing is this card was in a safe place in our home and had never been activated. BoA implied that it might be an inside job and referred us to their fraud department.
