Scam Alert -- Fake Fraud Department is After Your Credit Card Code
Scammers Pose as Credit Card Fraud Department
A fraudulent fraud department? It may sound too wacky to be true, but scammers are now pretending to be from credit card companies' fraud departments. It's a trick to get you to reveal your card's security code.
How the Scam Works:
You answer the phone, and the caller says he/she is from your credit card's security department. This "fraud specialist" tells you that there's suspicious activity on your card. He makes up a bogus transaction and asks if you authorized it. When you reply that you never made the purchase, the "fraud specialist" offers to open an investigation into charge. The scammer may even give you a fake case number for reference.
Everything seems normal until the scammer asks one last question. Under the guise of verifying that the credit card is in your procession, he requests the security code on the back of your card. Don't give it to him; it's a scam!
In this particular con, identity thieves already have your information. They know your name, credit card number, phone number and address. Now, all they need is the security code on the back of your card. If you share it, you give the con artist the information he needs to wrack up charges in your name.
What To Do if a Fraudulent Fraud Department Calls:
•Don't give the caller any information about your account - even if he already knows some of the details.
•Pick up the phone. Call the customer service number on the back of your credit card. Talk to the fraud or security department and ask about the unauthorized charges the caller told you about.
•Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in Caller ID systems. Although it may look like they're calling from your credit card company, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.

- JennyThis is legit. I tried to pull too much money out from my bank card and forgot i had a daily withdrawal limit of 300. They restricted my card and wellsfargo gave me a call. I was unavailable to i directly called wellsfargo. When in doubt, just call the 1800 number on the back of your card. It SHOULD be legit unless someone is using an app to disguise their number as the number shown above.
- Caller: Wells Fargo
- AliciaCalling nonstop and saying they are Wells Fargo.
- JeffGot a call from this number claiming to be WellsFargo checking on unusual activity on my account. I did not give them any information, hung up, then called Wells Fargo back directly on the number they list on their website. (https://www.wellsfargo.com/privacy-security/fraud/report/) The rep confirmed that I had had unusual activity on my account, and the call was legit. We reviewed my past 10 transactions to verify all charges were my own.
This is NOT a scam number, however you should ALWAYS hang up then call your bank back with their main number.- Caller: Wells Fargo
- AnneGot a message for a Brian T Denton. I have NO clue who that person is. Called 3 times in 5 minutes. I tried calling back but when you press a number, it says have Brian T Denton call back at this number and hangs up. I have no business dealings with Wells Fargo. This is a scam.
- Caller: Wells Fargo
- LorisSent call to voicemail. Checked on here to see mixed reviews, so I called them back. It is Wells Fargo fraud. My PMA account card number was stolen. Somebody took $200 Friday and tried to take $200-$300 several times this morning. It's no joke and they just saved me!
- Caller: Wells Fargo
- Greg replies to TaylorWells Fargo told me that it was not them
- Wells Fargo CustomerReceived message, supposedly from Wells Fargo Fraud Department. They even had the last 4 digits of my debit card. Of course, I did NOT call the number, but instead called number on back of my debit card. Wells Fargo verified that they DID NOT call me and there isn't anything fishy with my account. This is a SCAM!!!
