I got the same text from 650-276-9040 and reported it to reportphish@wellsfargo.com

Just received exact same message and I do not have any accounts w Wells Fargo.

I got the same same.  What information you think can be stolen from such a text message?

same exact thing just happened to me. Text message from 650-276-9040 saying:WELLS FARGO ALERT: Your DEBIT/CARD starting with 4259 has been DEACTIVATED. Please call 650-528-2494. Beware!

I also got the same message, but I don't have any Wells Fargo accounts.  The message said my card had been deactivated to call 650-528-2494. It came from 650-276-9040.

I believe this is a phishing/fraud attempt.  I received a text tonight from 650-918-2809, the text supposedly was from Wells Fargo bank telling me that my card beginning with 4259 has been deactivated and instructing me to call 650-528-2494.  The reasons I believe this is fraud are
1) I do not have a Wells Fargo card beginning with 4259
2) I found a complaint from someone else on Mrnumber website saying they had received the exact same text with the same card number beginning with 4259.


Be very careful, this may be a fraud attempt.

Got the same message

Received a text message on my cell phone saying my Wells Fargo card has been deactivated and left this number (650-528-2494) to call back.
I don't even have an account with Wells Fargo.  The sender of this text message was displayed as 617-528-0265 but it may be a spoof.

they called me too.

Auto answering system set up just like REAL Bank. It makes you believe you reached the REAL Bank. By following their instruction, if you provide your info. in order to get a Rep. you just became a Freud victim.
