There was a brief delay and just as I was about to hang up the phone a lady came on the line. She said a name that I didn't catch but claimed to be from Wells Fargo Home and said she needed to go over some information with me so they could continue to process my mortgage application. I told her that I never applied for any type of home mortgage or equity loan and that she had the wrong number. She said oh really well someone at my address, which she knew, had recently applied for a mortgage with wells fargo and she would need my full name, date of birth and social security number to confirm that this was a fraudulent application. I told her she was nuts that I would never give that out over the phone to someone I didn't know. She told me there would be grave consequences if I couldn't help them clarify the laon application, that someone could be trying to get a mortgage that I would be liable for. I said yeah right, that would be her bank's problem if they made a fraudulent loan. I asked for her name and the address of her institution because I would need to contact the authorities and do some investigating on my own at which point she just hung up. It is some kind of scam to troll for personal information. Never give out this info over the phone or you will be the one that gets taken. So far only this one call.
