Just happened to me. Unfortuately, I gave them information - the home mailing address and the Wells Fargo bank branch of the deceased relative's joint account with me. The account was my joint account with the deceased relative. The home mailing address is my current address. Just wondering what they can do with this? Reported this to my Wells Fargo branch. Tried to call the number numerous times - always get a busy signal. I cannot believe I let my guard down.
I got this call. It's probably legit. Many states have laws about bank account becoming unclaimed property after certain period of inactivity (I think it's 3 years in California). However, if you are uncomfortable in providing any info, just tell the person that you will take care of it at the local branch. It's what I just did.
The call seems more legit to me because when I hang up on my mobile (I hang up anytime it takes more than 5 seconds to get a response after initial hello), they immediately call my work number. I suppose a fraudulent company can have both my numbers, but seems less likely to have them on hand and calling within 3 seconds on hanging up on the mobile seems indicated some kind of computerized system, which I expect Wells Fargo to have.
Having said all that, I still went to my local branch instead of giving info.
Voicemail left by Marlon with Wells Fargo Unclaimed Property Dept. Called from 415-778-6325 and left a different number for me to call back. I went to Wells Fargo official website and called the Customer Service number found there. This message left for me was legitimate as I had an old account that was inactive/dormant and the funds were about to be turned over to the state. If you get a call from this number, don't call back, just call Wells Fargo Customer Service directly.
I received a call from this number. The claim was they were calling from Wells Fargo Unclaimed Property Dept. requesting that I verify my name (which they had) and requesting additional personal information. I declined to provide any information at all and hung up on them. I immediately called Wells Fargo since I have several accounts with them and provided the phone number to see if it was a legitimate call. Wells Fargo advised that 415-778-XXXX is NOT one of their numbers and requested that I contact their FRAUD department immediately. Be warned. This is a scam.
