My husband and I both received a text with the request to call Wells Fargo (who we have our home loan with)  I called and got an automated message something like this "This is the Federal Trade Administration, you are receiving this message because you received a request to call this number. You may have received it through a text or email"  At that point I hung up.

They may also be trying to verify your phone number by having you call back. It appears that the message is coming from various phone numbers, some in this area code.

Received email from this number saying it was Grundy National Bank. I have no account there so I assumed it was a scam.

Received a text from 21343447@vtext.com indicating a Wells Fargo Notification Call 1209-566-2358.  My significant other called and they tried to obtain SS#.  IT's DEFINITELY A SCAM.

They have also hit the Southern California area! I just received the same text.

I received a text from this # this morning.. Here's the message > (PacificWesternBank) Call: 1.209.566.2358 > this is the reason I was Suspiciou.  There was a story in our local newspaper last week about this..

I just read this today!

Thieves take swipe with debit card scam

A debit card scam has hit residents in Manteca and Ripon and continues through residents of the Central Valley by hackers using automated recorded messages to steal from card holders.

Cards issued from Bank of Stockton, Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo and other banks in the valley communities have been threatened by calls that warn users that their Master Card debit cards have been blocked.  The recorded message suggests that card holders press the No. 1 button on their phones to unblock their accounts.

When the button is pressed, the card holder is supposedly transferred to a security department.  Another recorded message asks the caller to punch in their 16-digit card number to clear the blocked card.  That is all the hackers need to break into an account.

One Bulletin reporter was having lunch with his wife this week at a Manteca restaurant when his phone rang with the warning that his debit card had been compromised.  He recognized the potential threat of a scam and declined to enter his identifying card number.

Bank officials in both Manteca and Ripon have confirmed that the calls are a valley-wide scam asking customers to beware of giving callers any information over the telephone.  If the caller was truly a credit card spokesman, they would already have that information on their screen.

Bankers urged the public to call their bank office as soon as they suspect a call to be a scam.  The bank will immediately see that the card is cancelled and they will put in a request to get their customers? money back into their insured accounts.

Got the same message.  Have Verizon.  Scam...

Just got the same text from Pacific Western Bank to call.....it's a scam

Got a text to call this number for Pacific Western Bank. No way, no way, and no way!. Just a scam.

My dad got a text from a vtext (verizon online texting) service saying he needed to call this number 12095662358.  I called the number from my phone and got a recording that said something like 'You received a notification because we have placed a limit on your acheive card.  to get more information press 1'
I did not press anything else because that was enough to confirm it was a scam.
