I received the below email this morning...

I don't even possess a Bank of America account
but out of curiosity I opened it anyway and found, THANK GOODNESS, the entire
message and attachment were deleted. In days gone by, my computer would have
been infected and was infected on more than one occasion, rendering me helpless
to a $$$ trip to the computer repair shop.
