503-688-9425

Received a text message on my cell phone from 503 929-3160 with a message "WELLS FARGO BANK ALERT: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at: 503-688-9425."
8:13pm 8/31/2011
Called the number from a land line and got a automated message for the Wells Fargo Card Activation line. Although the recorded message sounded broken and a little garbled. It wanted me to enter my "card 16digits number". Sounds real fishy!!!  I don't have a Wells Fargo account.

I just got the send text message only it came from 9713442271. the message said wells fargo bank alert your card has been deactivated please contact us at 5036889425. I do have a wells fargo account however I knew my card had not been deactivated because I had just used it ,so I called wells fargo bank and spoke with customer service just  to make sure and they assured me that they have not contacted me  and that this is most definitely a fraud attempt.

Fraud attempt!  The phone number of 971 is a verizon number.

Yeah I got the same message.  I don't have a wells fargo card. Scam.

i just got the same message on my phone, the text about it being deactivated, sounds like phishing to me

Just received page from 612-562-1706 saying Wells account deactivated and to call 503-688-9425.  Don't have ANY cards so just wasting good airtime.

Known scam in Oregon ... see http://www.doj.state.or.us/index.shtml and sign up for the alerts

Be careful...SCAM...this is not Wells Fargo contacting  you!

I too got the SAME text. My husband went to wells fargo (we have an acct. there) and they told him it was a scam. I also received calls from a 4-digit number on my cell.  it told me to hit #1 to fix the fraud issue.  It totally upsets me that they are doing this.  I wonder if anyone has fallen for it!!

I got the same message and I am going to delete the message. I think this is also a SCAM

Thanks to Google we all can stay connected.

There was a segment on the evening news in Portland 8/30/11.  Several people fell for this, providing account numbers and pin numbers.  Their account was cleaned out in minutes.  The local news says it is a scam originating from overseas.  I got the same thing today, but did not reply.

971 is one area code of 3 we have in Oregon. It can be any carriers number.
and yes, the whole thing is a scam -
some folks have too much time on their hands!
