Strange email from B.o.A. All my cards are "locked" including the bank's debit card. [View all]

So I get an email saying "Card locked: Transaction could not be processed.."

The transaction in question was a draft payment to AFFIRM.COM.

AFFIRM is one of several companies that finance a purchase over a period of time.

The problem is, I haven't bought anything large enough to put on a payment plan and I never applied for credit to this company.
