Bank of America email - Phishing scam?

[JoseMartenez]

It's promotion that places run, then they sell their e-mail lists and they get out there. There are companies that just do nothing but gather e-mail addresses on the list and sell them to presumably direct marketers to sell you crap. But of course, they sometimes sell them, knowingly or not, to phishers.

A good test is to copy a small portion of the e-mail that's not time sensitive (a sentence perhaps), slap some quotes around it and throw it into google. You're more than likely to find someone or multiple people with the same e-mail or a phishing-prevention website reporting it as a scam.
