Customer: Yes, I want to cancel my account. I don't want to do business with you any longer.
The Bank: Why?
Customer: You're giving credit to illegal immigrants and I don't think it's right. I'm taking my business elsewhere.
The Bank: Well, Mr. Customer, we don't want to see you do that, but we can't stop you. I'll help you close the account. What is your account number?
Customer: (gives account number)
The Bank: For security purposes and for your protection, can you please give me the last four digits of your social security number?
Customer: No.
The Bank: Mr. Customer, I need to verify your information, but in order to help you, I'll need verification of who you are..
Customer: Why should I give you my social security number? The reason I'm closing my account is that your bank is issuing credit cards to illegal immigrants who don't have social security numbers. You are targeting that audience and want their business. Let's say I'm an illegal immigrant and you've given me a credit card. I have a question about it and call for assistance. You wouldn't be asking me for a Social Security number, would you?
The Bank: No sir, I wouldn't.
Customer: Why not?
The Bank: Because you would have pressed '2' to speak in Spanish. We don't ask for that information when calling in on the Spanish line.
If it does raise the hair on the back of your neck, then forward it to every human in the country including every representative in Washington, DC four times a week for a month.

Bank of America sucks...and so do all the liberals!!
It's not just bank of america... Not sure where more are but on Rt 13 south in Eden, just south of the One Stop and Eden Auto Parts, PNC has a billboard written in SPANISH with a picture of money under a bed... Don't speak spanish but would love to know just what it says...
Well ride down on line road west where they are doing the road work and ask one of the workers, Im sure they can tell you what it says. I started getting those death race thoughts in my head, but common sense got the better of me.
Oh no! A company is advertising to a particular ethnic group! The world is coming to an end!
English is the language of America, and should be the official government language, but that doesn't mean that a company shouldn't be allowed to advertise in Spanish, for crying out loud.

@ 336
so if they didnt, could that particular group sue for racial discrimination?
cant have it both ways amigo.
I worked at Bank of America and there is no way to issue a credit card without a social security number. Federal Policy. There is no way around it. It's the very first thing they ask for. They used to open checking accounts without socials, but now they don't even do that. I'm not pro-Bank of America, but this argument is illegitimate.
