BoA isn't that nice. They won't keep you posted if they get the fraudulent page shut down.

In all likelyhood the above email a form-letter sent to anyone who reports a suspicious email, which is later confirmed.

Agreed. In that understanding this was a two part sequence, my first was the e-mail to notify BoA reception of a fraudulent e-mail. BoA's first was a (somebody had to actually type it (I think)) request to forward them said e-mail in tact to a disclosed account. My second was the actual forward, their second is what was posted below which has a *canned* flair to it. Got their attention anyway. Am sure they receive hundreds daily.
