SCAM Alert supposedly from Wells Fargo: "$650 was just withdrawn from your bank account, did you do it? If not, call (650) 443-5306" Don't call that number!
Received a text from Wells Fargo . I called the number given and they said my debit card was suspended and I needed to press 1 to talk to their customer service. I called the 800 number of Wells Fargo and they said the message was NOT sent by them!
