do not answer the email it is a attempt to steal your identity, they send out thousands of these hoping to snag a few that do have accounts at these banks , remember a bank will NEVER ask for this type of info in an email. never even open these email as there could be a Trojan horse that will install itself on your machine without your knowledge

Delete the email. It's a scam that's called phishing - they're trying to get valid passwords to accounts so they can clean them out.

Ignore the email, its a scam. They are testing you to see if you have an account with that company. Don't reply and delete the email.

I would print the email and contact a branch in your area. maybe someone is using your name and such identity theft or whatever. no matter what it is youo needto contact in person and not by emaiol because the email you got may also be a scam. when you write them them may in turn write you back asking for personal information. Contact Bank of america directly in person asap.
