Type of a scam Credit Cards
Automated phone call. It said my Wells Fargo bank card was not approved to make transactions out of state but they would help me. I didn’t hang up and it went on to act just like any other automated service asking me to key in my information. Such as my SS number and Credit Card Number. At no point was I given the option to talk to a person. I know this is a scam for several reasons. No automation will ever not give you the option to talk to a real person. Also, I do not have a Wells Fargo card. Lastly, I only entered the number 0 into the phone and it accepted it. I don’t know anyone who’s SS number is 0000000000000000.

Type of a scam Debt Collections
Customer rep tells me this is grechen and I am calling to collect a dept from Wells Fargo Bank. She has me verfy my name. Then indicates I have a past debt of 186 dollars. I tell her that I have no Wells Fargo credit cards that she must be mistaken. She tells me its from june 2014 . I tell her to send me a statemaent and then I will review and consider action . She tells me that I will receive that in 7-10 days.
I hang up as I had raised my voice when she thanked me for the time concerning the matter.
This name and phone I got off my cable tv log but unfortunately letters and numbers are VERY fuzzy especially the" Wells Fargo Ens" as name and the last three letters I was guessing and attempted a second look to read it again as it wasn’t Inc. The time was 4:13 pm and within that three hour period we had another 6 calls of which only one was a familiar name of Express Prescriptions (we’ve gotten a couple mailings for this too) supposedly a Blue Cross Blue Shield referal for alternate medication services. The five of the six would leave no message as we usually let the answering machine to screen calls. I will call you in 10 days if I receive no letters. I called your fraud line as in the past year both reports to Niagara County Sherrif and Village police for 1.) irs CALL AND 2.) defrauded of 349.00 not the 249 charged they upped the anti we discovered the next day. That scam (they were acting to protect the virus in our computer.Our bank the next day, cancelled this checking account and opened a new account feeling that would reduce risk for another potential debit by that same fraudulent Microsoft contractor that had poped up and looked very similar to currently used windows.
Both law enforcers said they would file (the irs in particular they said that there have been several) the complaints but they are not sure that any culprit frauders will be caught, that is why I was compulsed to call you this time knowing and remembering an expert "the BBB". Sincerely, dick crafts
