800-678-7986

This number has called me multiple times a day for the last week and a half on my direct line at work, a number I have never given out.  They have left automated messages only when they call after office hours.  These messages state they are Wells Fargo calling in regards to my account and to call them back.  Our IT department has blocked the number, and Wells Fargo has found ways of getting around the block to still call my number.  They are still working on remedying the problem.

This is definitely a scam, as our company does not hold any of our assets with Wells Fargo.  I also personally have never had an account with them.  It is beyond annoying that they continue to call, despite being blocked and despite us/me having had no business relations with them in the past.

I only see missed calls from this number when I am late in my mortgage payments. I usually go pay it online and they stop. I believe it’s a real number but there’s no reason to call it back. Just pay your bills.

Left this number to call 832-848-1136.Said he was calling to offer lower payments and wanted 4 months of payments and had to have first payment before providing any information. Was very rude when I refused to give any money before receiving documents.

Fraud   SCAM   calls this corporation all the time.  Operators are instructed not to transfer calls to the employee the caller asks for,  or to give any information.    In fact Operators are allowed to simply ignore the call and not answer.

No way, clicked on that page and website reads there is no such page.  FAKE!!!

no such number on their site!

That would probably be true because that link is 11 years old.  You could have figured that out by reading the post where the posting years was 2010.

And that post was clearly made in 2008, so who knows what was on their website 13 years ago?

ANNOYING, daily REPEAT calls from this number.  Wells Fargo, true or not, they keep calling a very busy switchboard.

Didn’t leave a message. Didn’t answer the call

For the past few weeks I have received calls from 800-678-7986 from a Kenny Williams who claims he is with Wells Fargo. He told me my loan was accepted and that I would have to start payments. Then he said I would have to go to a Walmart to send a moneygram. He has now called me 4 times. He has another buddy who is also a scammer. A woman named Susan.

I started getting calls from the 800# listed above but they don't leave a message.  I haven't answered or called back because my mortgage payments with WF are not past due.  Then the other day i was out at a restaurant getting ready to pay and i got a text saying they had frozen my account for recent debit card declines and to click on a link.  No i did not click on the link.  So i called the general WF number and was told that my debit card was not on hold, was active and so was my account.  It was just weird because i  did have a declined sale earlier that day for incorrect pin (fat fingers i guess) but then i put in the right pin and all was well.  Be diligent out there.  There's a scam everywhere you turn.

I had a missed call from them.  They left a message saying it was Wells Fargo Mortgage and anyone I call back can assist.  I googled the number and found this page.  When I go to the Wells Fargo site and use their search for the number it is mortgage refinancing which I had been looking into earlier this year.  When you enter the number on their site put the dashes in and it will show up.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to check the Wells Fargo website first? You know, since you had aleady been looking into refinancing your mortgage?

Yes, this number is on the Wells Fargo website and it is used by their Mortgage Department.
However, Scammers know this and will spoof this number so it appears in Caller ID when calling from an entirely different number so they can try to scam the person they called posing as Wells Fargo (as evidenced in the two posts that proceeded yours).
Just because a number may be connected to a company, it does not mean that seeing it on your phones Caller ID display guarantees you were called by that company.
