877-294-6933

i called wells fargo and confirmed that this is a phishing scam. they will not call you for debit card verification. i did call 877-294-6933 back and it sounds very good. the guy was very professional and also recommended i go to a local branch to see if there is a problem...how nice of him.

don't fall for it!

Just now going thru call list, and this # called (no message) on Feb 22, 2013.  I'm a WF convert/holdover from Wachovia; but I don't recall talking to anyone about my ckcard, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't give out my personal info.  Considering that the Wach-2-WF replacement was effective beginning a few weeks later on the 1st of March, it's all a little weirdly coincidental.

Rec'd a call from 1-800-704-9855 that referred me to 1-800-869-3557.  I spoke to a young lady who claimed to be from WF, when I told her I was not giving my personal information she said that I could trust her because she would give me her name and employee number to verify who she was.  Wasn't falling for that either.  I told her I would stop into the bank and make sure it was legit.  She thanked me for being a loyal WF customer.

Seems like a scam to me.

Just received my new WF Debit Card . . . that number is on the sticker to activate it. I called - my Card is now activated! C'mon people - how many of us have to verify this before you get it???????? If you got a call and you don't have a WF account,  then they simply called the wrong number!!!  SHEESH!!

This is not a real Wells Fargo number. I'm an employee and this is fake!

Got a call at 11 AM and they waited 10 seconds before hanging up. They didn't say a thing.

This is the number you call to activate cards from Wells after they send you one. Just received a new card (the current one expires next month) I called it and activated the card. The number is printed on Wells Fargo materials you receive from them.

The number seems ligit, but the call is not. they are spoofing the number so that they sound ligit. This is not only a scam but phone fraud that the phone services take seriously, if caught these guys may go to jail for a few decades (look up phone freaking and kevin mitnick). Part of the trick is they call from a number you know so you trust them, keep in mind they can look up land-line number and address together as a matter of public record and use that to send you a fake card in the mail and then call you for the phishing scam. It sounds like the phone companies have a security breach on top of the banks problem here.

This is a real Wells Fargo debit card activation number.  It's just that they are all gay out in Californei.  They're too confused to know what sex they are, they're pretty much too confused to type in the correct customer phone number to call.  They're also too airheaded to know about security and requires a full input of your entire card's number.  This pretty much tells you what kind of gay gay happy happy joy joy folks you're trusting your financial information to.

This IS a real number. I ordered a new card and haven't activated it yet. And I just got a call from them today saying I haven't activated it yet. And they are right. Sooooo idk what all these other people are talking about.

1-877-294-6933 is still scamming claiming to be Wells Fargo card activation.

THIS IS NOT A WELLS FARGO NUMBER.  DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION.

Call the real Wells Fargo Fraud department number.

This is a REAL Wells Fargo number!  I 100% guarantee it.  They are calling to get your new card activated.  I received a call, thought it was strange after reading about the number online, but then received my new debit card in the mail two days later.  Again, this is a REAL Wells Fargo number.  They activated my new debit card when I called them back.

Ok i may have fallen for it called back they asked for my social and like a fool gave it. They assured me it was a call by mistake, should I be worried, and what can I do now???

I got a call from this number claiming they were Wells Fargo reporting activity on my daughter's credit/debit card and that she needed to call this number or 1-800 869-3557 to reset her card. They were Phishing for card number and social security number.
Fortunately my daughter caught it after a similar experience with another scammer. I did not get it until my daughter called back. THEY ARE RLENTLESS!

Actually I'm confused. I got my wells Fargo card in the mail  and Ur had that number.  :/  and. They activated. It. Now I'm confused. R u sure its. a. Scam

If it is Wells Fargo, call directly back to Wells and check.  Maybe ID thief.

18772946933 or

Called Wells Fargo fraud and detection department, this is a legitimate number.

I received a call reportedly from Wells Fargo to activate my new debit card.  Phone number:  18772946933.
Contacted Wells Fargo, and it is NOT their number!  Reporting to the Attorney Genera.

I Googled the number just now (Jan. 5, '15, 7:15 p.m.), and it's the # a CUSTOMER calls to activate a Wells Fargo debit card. (  https://www.wellsfargo.com/goals-banking-made-easy/activate-debit-card/ )

If someone FROM that number calls YOU, I'm not sure what it means.

I would err on the side of caution and hang up.  Better yet, don't even pick up the phone.
