Wells Fargo / Zell scam
I just had a scam call for an number that showed up on my caller ID as Wells Fargo Bank. The guy sounded very professional and said he was calling to verify possible fraudulent activity of a zell transfer of $3000 and $500 for me to someone else. After telling them I don't use zell he gave me a "case number" and 2 numbers I would need to cancel the charges. He then transfered me to the "Wells Fargo Zell Fraud Department" the phone rang like a real transfer and a different man answered and started walking me through how to cancel the charges. Meanwhile I was googeling the situation because I was getting scam vibes. I figured I would keep playing the game until I figured it out without giving them any personal information. He started walking me through sending a zell payment. The name for the account was some compleatly random name and the email address he gave me was from Gmail with the random name and some numbers at the end. I asked if he was from Wells Fargo why he was using a Gmail address and why the name made no sense. He started to assure me it was all legit. I called him out as a scammer and congratulated him on it taking that long for me to verify it. The last thing he said was to prove it wasn't a scam he was going to authorize the charges and hung up on me.
