just got the call. but what's fishy to me is that i opened a WF business account a couple of weeks ago, and activated my car a couple of days ago. then i get this????
They left a message on my answering machine. Said it was Wells Fargo Bank. Concerned because a credit card they sent me recently had not been activated. Please call back and have your CC number, bank account number and name on account, EIN number and name on account, and your Social Security number available for them. I called Wells Fargo Bank in Sacramento. They said it was not showing as a valid number on their list. Serious scam. Remember if you have an account with someone they don't have to ask for that information. They already have it.
Got a call last night. We have 8 Wells Fargo credit cards. I returned the call to 80 803-9783 and put in our control account number, EIN, phone number and it said my card had been activated. Then I called Wells Fargo because I still didn't know which of our cards they were calling about and Wells Fargo said that they would not call until a card had been sent out and not activated after at least a month. They said that this was most likely a SCAM! I am so glad that I put our control account number instead of one of the ones on our actual card. They said they can't put charges on that number. I got lucky. I searched the 800 number to see if I could find any feedback but I didn't find anything so I thought it was ok to call back. I guess they change the 800 number all the time.
Claims its Wells Fargo about an unactivated business card and asking for all kinds of secure info. Unusual because didn't say our name and they should have our info. Definitely a SERIOUS SCAM!
