Bank Of WHITE America?

Bank of America today agreed to pay a record $335 million to settle a lawsuit claiming they discriminated against minority home-buyers.The suit charged that Countywide (purchased by B of A) charged higher interest rates and fees to African-Americans and Hispanics and steered them to more expensive sub-prime loans even though they qualified for conventional loans.  U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said that the investigation found a widespread pattern of discrimination against more than 200,000 people in 41 states.

The BBB Is NOT Investigating You

There's a new malicious email going around.  If you receive an e-mail claiming to be from the Better Business Bureau about a complaint filed against you, DO NOT click on the link.  It's a fake.  The bad English always gives it away.  The e-mail states "The Better Business Bureau has been filed the above-referenced complaint from one of your clients regarding their dealings with you.  The detailed information about the consumer's concern is explained in enclosed document..." 

Forward the email to phishing@council.bbb.org , and delete it immediately.
