Got the same scam text wells fargo bank alert. wish I had the resources to hunt  this scum bag down

Received same messaged. Called my local county sheriff's non emergency dispatch to report.

I got the same message and to call 503-688-9247 i got that text from
507-720-9309

This evening I received a message titled "WELLS FARGO BANK ALERT:  Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED.  Please contact us at:  (503) 688-9247."  I do not have a Wells Fargo account and know of no bank that would send a message that way.   I called the # and it puts you into a message system that asks for your account number first, with no other menu options or opportunity to talk to a customer service rep.  This is an attempt at fraud -- some one trying to get a credit card number to use.

got the same thing

Just got a text alerting me to call Wells Fargo about my Deactivated Card! Hmm how could my card be deactivated WHEN I DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM!!
I have heard about texts from Wells Fargo and B OF A a lot lately!!! SCAMMERS! I wish they would figure out Who is doing this.

phishing scam from Wellsfargo  stating account deactivated

I just got a text msg from 507-720-9309 that read, "your Wells Fargo account has been deactivated, call 503-688-9247".  Naturally, I looked up Wells Fargo's REAL number and called them.  They verified that neither of these numbers is valid for them and that phishers are very tricky about having people call them and getting info that way.

I got the same message earlier today. What if I call them and play along? Have any of you done that before?
BTW... How did they get my number first of all. Never been with Wells Fargo.

I got it too. Somebody should send this to the Oregon Attorney General.

Haven't caught any yet.

Looks like a scam to me, and lots of other people, too.

I just got the same thing. It's a scam.

I got a text saying the same thing.  Obvious scam.

Got a scam call from 503-688-9247 and a text message. Called Wells Fargo 1-800 number and they confirmed its  a scam.

Recieved a text message today, 9/6/11 @ 1:12pm from 503-929-3160 with the following message: "WELLS FARGO ALERT: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at: 503-688-9247."

I called Wells Fargo and they confirmed this is a scam.  I asked if they wanted the phone number that the text came from, but agent indicated they already had it (not sure how she knew that since I never gave her the number).  They indicated if I was concerned I could file a police report.  Since I have never had a Wells Fargo account, I'm not concerned about it.  However, given that this could impact Wells Fargo customers, I thought they would be more concerned about being proactive and tracking down the individuals who are doing this.  Oh well....

Same thing.  
Automated only. Notified Wells Fargo of number.  See what they can or will do.

I too got this message. Luckily I suspected it was a scam and googled it.

Hi, These jerks are still at it. I received the usual text just a few hours ago (Sep. 6, 2011). If you still have the fire in ya', please please run these scumsuckers in to the Sheriff? I would, but am out of town for the next few days.

Same as above. Received a call from 507=688-9247 to call the 503 number. Called the bank instead to verify that this was a scam,
