Rec'd a text from this number.  "MONEY ONE F.C.U. ALERT: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED.  Please contact us at: 301-202-7607.

FCU=Federal Credit Union.  If that CU exists, I don't have an acct there.

Called the 612 #  from a land line - Got a verizon message that the number was not in service.
called the 301 #  from a land line - got silence.

I recieved this text message from some odd number and I don't even have a bank account.  -------WOODSTONE C.U. ALERT: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 206-497-7885. ---- But. the number the text came from was #612-747-6254. I don't have any bank accounts at all.

recieved the same message from 612-747-6254 text message and identitical from 402-913-4823 of bank alert and request i contact 541-728-0628 on my cell phone tonight

Same here. Same source number, number to call appears to be local. I don't have a Wells Fargo Account. Definitely a scam. 11/12/11

I received a text message today from this number saying: WELLS FARGO ALERT: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 402-201-2170.

I do not have any Wells Fargo accounts. This is obviously a scam - confirmed when I googled the number and found similar reports from others who have reached the same conclusion. These people need to be caught.

I received a text today from the same number (612-747-6254) with the same message - Your card has been deactivated, please contact us at... - and this time the contact number was 402-201-2170.

I also do NOT have any accounts with Wells Fargo, so I knew immediately it was a scam.

11/12/11

I got that same text message today, Saturday 11/12.  The number to call has a local area code.  Needless to say, I've never done business with Wells Fargo.  I googled the area code 612 and sure am glad to have found this website.

I too received a text from this number indicating my card had been deactivated.  In my case the callback number provided was 541-728-0628.  I called my local branch directly and they indicated it was a scam text.  So this scam is still ongoing as of 11/12/11.

My son got a text on his phone about his wells fargo card being deactivated. 1. hes too young for an account &2. I dont bank thru wells fargo.
It left the # of 402-201-2170 to call.

2 minutes later, MY cell gets the exact same text.Same # to call & everything

I received the same text message with the credit card deactivation notice. Who would be the proper authorities to contact? Anyone know?

Received scam text message from 612-747-6254 [with reply number to call at 612-223-5411] regarding a deactivated card with Wells Fargo. Don't have any thing with Wells Fargo so I knew it was a scam.

Apparently, from other sites I seen, if you call back to the 612-223-5411 number, it sounds like it is Wells Fargo. However, you are apparently endangering your account info due to the fact it asks - apparently like Wells does - your card number and PIN. So do not call this number.

If you check the Wells Fargo site, there is apparently a big notice there as they have been hitting Oregon and Washington with these same scam texts - and even phone calls - for about six weeks to date [11/1/11].

Hope this helps someone out!

The "starting with" was a huge clue. Got mine at 7:30 PM CDT. Scumbags.

Same exact message. Lousy worthless sons of...

I got one, too. I even dialed the number, just to see how real it sounds. Scary, it sound JUST LIKE WF automated system! My God, people will pay dearly if they give them anything...

Received matching text message 2 min ago.

I just received the EXACT same message!
Of course I am not calling, knew it was a scam of some sort!!

Rcv'd text on cell phone stating: "WELLS FARGO ALERT: Your card starting with ++++ has been deactivated. Please contact us at: 612-223-5411." The number showing as source of call was 1-612-747-6254.

They are attempting to get card numbers along with expiration date, security code, PIN, and SS#. Wells Fargo rep stated within an hour of giving them this info they are seeing all forms of international charges on victims accounts.
