Bank of America? Yeah, Right (scam alert)

First time I've gotten a spoofed name/number. Today (! Sunday !) I missed two back-to-back calls from (caller ID) 'Bank of America (800) 933-6262.' So yeah, I've been with 'em for 25 years, and only ever gotten a call from a local branch maybe twice, and their mortgage sales team (solicitors) in the early evening, so getting any call like this on a Sunday tingles my Spidey-Sense™.

Sure enough, Google sez it is indeed scammers.

Perhaps I would not have become so quickly suspicious if they'd called during banking hours.

Old-Timers will remember what Sgt. Esterhaus used to say which merits inclusion of this fuzzy animated GIF:
