618-270-6049

I was called by (618) 270-6049. First person called and stated there was fraudulent activity on my account, in the amount of two wire transactions (one for approximately $25,000 and another for approximately $50,000). They stated the payments would come out within a half hour if I did not go to my local bank and request a counter transfer to the following account: Kingerald Barnett Account: 912658967 Routing: 32271627 The person on the phone claimed to be a fraud agent with Bank of America named Ethan Hunter. They said I had to go to the bank, but since the FBI was investigating, I had to not say anything to the bank tellers, and pretend like nothing was going on, as they claimed the bank tellers were the ones behind the fraud, and they needed me to do this so the FBI could catch them. When I began stating that this all sounded very suspicious, the agent got hostile, and said they were hanging up, and that now the money was going to come out, and there was nothing I could do about it. Clearly this is a scam, but the agent was initially pretty convincing. Bank of America would not ask customers to do what I was asked to do, and the agents also do not generally give their last names, so be careful if you get a call like this from this number.
