This is the second time I've gotten this call. Last was about 6 months ago. Didn't answer when I saw a "555" prefix remembering it was a scam. Someone from the movies is trying to call you!
Just got a call from this number - automated woman said they were wells fargo and had blocked my debit card. i dont bank at wells and never had, but i played along. i entered fake info that they wanted and it never errored out. when it got to the credit card info, i hung up. this was also on my verizon cell, which has long been listed on the do not call registry. I called verizon to see about 'tracing' where the call came from, since it was an obvious fake number (any area code +555-1212 will get you information, like 411, etc). 714 is California, near LA - cities in the 714 area code includes Tustin, Placentia, Anaheim, Buena Park, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Orange, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Yorba Linda, portions of La Habra, and most of Brea, and Huntington Beach.
anyway, big red said they couldnt trace it (really???? - probably some reverse privacy law) and to contact the local authorities - yeah right, like they would be able to do anything... was going to contact wells, but it appears that they dont care according to CJ's post.
I got the call and didn't answer, called back and it was a 411 service. I called verizon and they said I couldn't be charged unless i physically pressed 411 into the phone... so that's good. But i'm pissed and would really like to know who would pull some [***] like this.
