Fraud number. Never call back any number claiming to be the bank. Never visit a link given to you in a email. Only access your bank through the established website.
If this was an actual fraud alert there would be an alert in my bank account's message box. There would also be a transaction on one of the accounts that they are holding. There are no alerts or transaction on hold so this is fraud caller.
Recorded message, pretending to be a live operator, states to call back the number and give them a reference number that they rapidly repeat on the recording so quickly you have trouble writing it down fast enough. Tells you to call back by 8:30PM Eastern that day. Tells you can also go to a branch bank to resolve issue in order to try to convince you its a legit call.
This call was made to my 81 year old mother.
Called WellsFargo fraud line, this is not a number of theirs.
This is fraud - do not give them any information. They want to use your voice to get into your account. BEWARE!
Anyone who is saying this phone number is legit is a liar and they are very likely related to the scam.
And yes, I spent over two hours calling different Wells Fargo customer service and fraud help numbers. Wells Fargo specifically cautioned me about this number and said never to return that call or give them any info (not my name or anything).
This # is fraud. I called up Wells Fargo and that reference number meant nothing to them and there was nothing suspicious on my account. Never call back a number that is not on your ATM/Credit Cards or Wells Fargo's Website.
Show of hands please - has anyone even tried reaching out to WF to verify the VM or, Text? I have and confirmed (877) 352-0969 sent to me via Text 93733 is actually a Wells Fargo Fraud Detection Department. The Text I received is as Legit as the 877 number to call.
This is a legit phone number for Wells Fargo Fraud Dept.
