Got this in My Junk E-MAIL this Morning. The first thing that caught My eye was the Alaska address to be removed from List. Then I checked the From:Wells Fargo Customer Bonus and found this E-Mail Address: adminvtnmf0o4H0@foodstraditional.com

That's when I called Wells Fargo. Verified it's a Phishing Scam. They had Me Forward it to: phish@wellsfargo.com.

Just though I would Post this Warning.

[mabarker1]

Beware of the scumbags.

[usconservative]

I got it too and I’m not a Wells Fargo customer, LOL!

[Sarah Barracuda]

I get garbage emails all the time, bank of america, wells fargo, etc etc all saying I need to check my account..I just delete them..I dont have either one and I dont do online banking

[rktman]

LOL! Yeah, I got one the other day saying if I didn’t send “them” $500 in bitcoin they would post something sordid they supposedly video’d through my computer camera all over my social media(non-existent) and to all my contacts. DELETE!

[Gay State Conservative]

I get a dozen such emails a day. Most of them land in my spam file..but they're all easy to spot.

[mabarker1]

LOL, quick ID on that one.

This was My first one. Other than the Nigerian stuff.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I get these also, and they have messages such as click to update account t information, confirm password, etc.

But I don’t even have accounts with Wells Fargo or Bank of America, so I know right away it’s fraud.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I also get weird messages from “Amazon” saying thank you for your order on power tools or whatever I dont bother clicking the link because I know its BS especially since they email me on my main email address and that amazon account hasnt been touched in years

[Sarah Barracuda]

Well speak of the devil I just got another email with the same message LOL

[mabarker1]

Gotta charge the Tablet and feed the Grandson. Be back later.

[WKUHilltopper]

First off, I would never do business with drug laundering bank...like Wells Fargo.

[Responsibility2nd]

I got a Fake E-mail yesterday. It said it was from Fox News. About a supplement that speeds up ketosis.

But the actual sender was Fox News fox.news@sluttybbw.com

I was halfway tempted to click it. But nope. Was at work. My work email address. I knew better.

lolol

I haven't gotten one yet from my WF Banks, but here's another one going around: WARNING SCAM NOW COMING OVER THE PHONE: "Hello, this is an apology call from your gas, water and electric utility company, and we overcharged you over the past few months. You're eligible for a sizeable rebate check. All we need is your name, birthday, SSN and utility account number; simply press 1 to get to an agent to get your rebate check. Bottom line: your gas, water and electric companies are separate company entities and don't issue joint checks for so-called mistake billing. From my Phone Call Logs, I called the number back and got a guy who knew nothing about it all, and I warned him that his number was being used to propagate a scam, which is a Federal Wire Fraud felony. WATCH OUT FOR THIS SCAM TO HIT YOUR PHONE!

[OldMissileer]

At least you were getting a bonus. Three days ago I got a text on my cell phone telling me that my Wells Fargo account was suspended due to fraud.

I have never had an account with a bank in my life. I always have used Credit Unions.

I have also received e-mails from other “banks” shutting my account for fraud and one actually threatened me about referring me to the Federal Investigative Bureau. Whatever that is.

The quickest way to determine if an email is phishing is to hover over one of the links in the email. Your browser will give you the link value, usually in the lower left hand corner of your screen. You’ll see it’s nonsense and has nothing to do with the supposed sender.

Also, do not open any attachments to a phishing email. Surely trouble if you do.
