Call about unauthorized charges from GameStop.com
Got a call from someone claiming to be from wells fargo and asking me about this woman trying to open an account in her name with my info and trying to zelle two transactions. he even gave me a Zelle fraud number to call myself. Problem was that don't deal with Wells Fargo , but sure maybe the woman was trying to open an account there. I owe wells fargo money from past nsf's and credit write off's . So its interesting to me haow they can have a caller I>D> show uo with a true wells fargo number and he gave me the Zelle number to call which i did. Here is my observation: At both numbers the people who spoke to me were in cubicles that were obviously located in very busy scammer offices secondly their accents and limited english were dead giveaways. MY REMEDY..... I could tell the ZELLE impersonator was from India and usually they'll hang up right away if they suspect your on to them. So I will use Google translate and translate some real nasty things to them in Hindi ....funny thing is they don't hang up because who does that ...nobody .... I play the recording over and over and over. they stay on the line ultimately costing their company more long distance fees which is the only recourse besides the things i said about their mother in their own language.
Yes I received the same call. First came through from an unknown number and I said I wanted to know how I could trust this was legitimate. He hung up from me and called from this 800 number and said there were multiple tranactions coming through my Zelle (I said I didn't see them and he said they hadn't posted yet) and I needed to log in to sign out someone else who was logged in to my account. I looked up the phone number online, saw it was a scam, and hung up.
Scammer spoofing a Wells Fargo customer service number. If you get a call from a bank like this, hang up and call customer service yourself. They tried to tell me someone sent in a check to open a new account and then Zelle themselves money. I had to call the Zelle fraud department to fix it and they gave me cancellation codes. I called just for fun. They wanted me to Zelle money to random managers. I kept telling them no. And they kept generating a new "code" (phone number in New Jersey) to send money. I kept saying no because it smelled like a scam. And he heard my boyfriend in the background and he yelled: Tell your husband then whatever I hope they enjoy whatever was bought with the money coming out of my account and hung up on me. Haha!
Wells Fargo will NEVER call you about fraud. You have to contact them and easily dispute anything incorrect. This is an attempt at phishing.
