800-642-4720

I never answer when this phone number flashes up on my caller ID screen...I get called from this number EVERYDAY at 11:15 am....365 days per year, and it has been going on for years. I find it very hard to believe Verizon cannot trace this number and report this number to the feds, then it would be up to the useless federal government in Washington DC to take action. The way to stop calls from this 800 number starts with Verizon, if millions of people flooded Verizon with complaints maybe they would do something about this problem.

Wells Fargo (or a company calling on behalf of Wells Fargo) to offer me 30 days of free Credit Card services that cover my payments in the event that I lose my job, get run over by herd of elephants, get electrocuted when my 46" plasma TV falls into my bathtub, or my cat needs major limb reattachment surgery because my dog played too rough with it.

Not something I need. They tried to push it for 30 days free and if I don't want it I can cancel at any time... but you know how these things go.

Plus if you sign up for this, you would get promoted to their major sucker list and then you'll get dozens more calls. Just say no, block the number, and pay your credit card bills on time.  ;-)

I have a Wells Fargo account but not a credit card. The number doesn't come up Wells Fargo on the caller id so I don't answer it and no message is left.I guess it can't be that important.

This is a legitimate call from Wells Fargo.  The phone number is  their "24-hour Customer Service" number per my Wells Fargo Visa statement.
They called today and my caller ID displayed "800 service" which I always assume is a telemarketer.  But I picked up anyway.  It was a recorded voice asking for verification of my making two transactions today on my Visa card.  "It" knew the amounts and generally to whom the amounts were paid.  
Just to be on the safe side I checked my Visa statement for the Customer Service phone number which is 800-642-4720 and I called them.  I expressed my dislike for the caller ID coming in as "800 service".  Josh told me that is simply the way my phone service provider show it. (Cox Communications).

Always check these things out anyway.

Now it is Regions Bank on an email scam that was sent to me.  They are telling me to call this number 800-642-4720 because of unautherized internet access against my account.   G.   I do not have  any credit with Regions Bank and I verified it with them.    They didn't get this chick.

They called and got a number disconnected message (like all unknown callers to my line get - thank you CallCentric).  I do have WF Mortgage, but a quick check of the account online showed nothing funny.  Oh well.

I called back this number and talk to a wells fargo operator and she me that no one from wells fargo should be calling me from that name. It is an internal number, it is only supposed to be used by people that bank with wells fargo and has from time to time talk to them about personal buisness. so she says to ignore the caller and never give them any information about you.

It is a sham and not from wells fargo. I know I called up wells fargo and told them about getting several calls from that number. She told me that I could not be, it is an internal number used by customers only to call them up with any buisness that one may want to dicuss. She said also to ignore the caller and never give them any information personal or otherwise.

i do pay my bills, in fact my credit score is 825 and I pay off my
credit cards in full each month!!!

Pretty sure this  is a scam from a company that buys personal info from
WF & once you agree to their Preferred card for $100 you are screwed because they
now have your cc# and will keep billing you ...

Please watch out & If any bank or Credit card company calls you
call them back at the number on your card. This could be a scammer spoofing WF's number

Guess what if this 3rd party or Affiliate of Wells Fargo
won't leave a message [***] them ! Must not be important !

Exactly Right !!   This is a scam because they never leave a message
they are probably spoofing a real  WElls Fargo number

Why would anyone be dumb enough to give a random caller their
birthplace ??  Only idiots would!

Jacob why does Wells Fargo say they know nothing about these calls?
Because your company is trying to scam people & are possibly spoofing
a legitimate Wells Fargo phone number

In the past  AMEX has left me a message
telling me to call them when my credit card had questionable charges.
Of course I called them back using the number on the back of my card
& they took care of the problem.  
I would never give info to a person that just calls up
they could be spoofing /faking a real number

October 2012 - they have called a minimum of 10 times a day for the last 6 days. I never answer because no one I do business uses an 800 number to call me (though I may use an 800 number to contact them). It is making me INSANE! I am on the no call list, I have no idea how they got my number (unless it's from the good ol' fashioned white pages). Someone needs to stop this.

Received three calls and they did leave me a voicemail. It was Wells Fargo fraud department checking on a credit card transaction on my card.  I was told if other charge was legit I didn't need to callbth back.  I feel the number was legit in my case.

I'm away from the office right now, but called in for my messages and got this "Important Message" from Wells Fargo.  So I don't know what my caller id said because I'm not actually at my office to look at that.

But i wrote down all the details from the message (which sounded more like a robo-call than a live person).  She said this was regarding the new Wells Fargo credit card sent to me which I hadn't activated yet.  Huh?  I've never applied for a Wells Fargo credit card and have never had any transactions with them.  No bank accounts; no credit cards; no mortgage --- nada.  

They gave me this same 800 # to call, or in the alternative, suggested I call 1-866-537-8424 to activate the card or go to www.wellsfargo.com/activate.  Now I'm wondering --- maybe this is part of an identity fraud thing going on?  Someone else has used my name for a credit card?  But why on earth would someone trying to scam me provide my phone #?!  All makes no sense.....

NCO financial. Debt collections.

It is in fact Wells Fargo.  Not a scam.  Still, it is a good practice to never give any information unless you have personally initiated the call to a known number.  If they ask you for info, simply tell them you will call the wells fargo number on the back of your card and go from there.

I got a call from this number claiming there was a fraud alert on one of my checks from Wells Fargo. I hung up on them and called the bank. There are no alerts or problems with my accounts. They were phishing.
