Will put number on my contacts list

June 4, 2021

I got a call from this number and it said "Wells Fargo" on Caller ID. However... I have never done business with this company. I answered the phone anyway. Some dude with a thick Indian accent and poor English says he is Wells Fargo and told me that I was behind on payments. Red flags and alarms immediately go off in my head - Foreign caller? (check!) Talking nonsense shyt about an account that I do not have and a bank that I do not use? (check!) The scammer immediately becomes evasive when I ask for details about what payments and how much I am delinquent? (check!) Since he disturbed me on my nice sunny afternoon, I decided to toy with him for another 15 minutes before he shouted profanities at me and I laughed and told him rude stuff about his mother. Moral of my story: If you are a Wells Fargo customer, this may be a valid call, or your call could still be this same Indian scammer spoofing the fake Caller ID number. If you are not a Wells Fargo customer and wondered why you got a call, welp, that is why they call it "phishing" - scammers robo-dial thousands of numbers and they hope to phish for gullible targets. And always remember this: scammers can spoof a fake Caller ID name and number faster than you can change your underwear. I am still amazed at the number of people who claim that a scam call is valid just because the Caller ID display looks legitimate, or if the scammer says your name. Marketing databases with millions of phone numbers associated with names and addresses are easily available for both legitimate businesses and scammers to use. Just because a caller knows your name, address, or names of relatives means absolutely nothing since scammers easily obtain that information to make the call sound legit.

Fake Wells Fargo scam call by criminals phoning from India This is a fake Wells Fargo scam call by criminals phoning from India, trying to steal your credit card number, Social Security number, and personal information. This call usually begins with a pre-recorded robotic speaker who pretends to be Wells Fargo (or Bank of America, Chase Bank, Citibank, or American Express). The message is generated in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and Chinese, using text-to-speech software to disguise the origin of this India scam and the messages are adjusted depending upon the scam. The pre-recorded scam message tells you vague information about fake activity on your account, designed to lure you to press "1" or to phone back. If you respond to the call, then you get transferred to the East Indian scammer who tells you either that your account is past due or because of your good credit history, he can offer you lower interest rates... he first needs your credit card number and SSN "for verification purposes". I gave this India scammer a fake credit card number, fake SSN, and fake bank information, and then the scammer transferred me to his "supervisor" who immediately tried to charge thousands of dollars to the fake credit card number that I gave him. More than 95% of all North America phone scams originate from crowded phone rooms in India that run numerous fraud, extortion, and money laundering scams every day ranging from fake pharmacies to posing as fake Social Security or IRS officers collecting on "unpaid back taxes", fake bill collectors threatening you for fake unpaid debts, pretending to offer fake health insurance, car warranty, and debt, student loan forgiveness, credit card consolidation services, posing as Amazon to falsely say that an unauthorized purchase was made to your account or that your Prime membership was auto-debited from your credit card or bank account, posing as Microsoft or HP to say that your software needs renewal or they detected a problem with your computer, pretending to be DHL, UPS, or a bank, falsely stating that they installed ransomware virus on your computer and you need to pay them money, etc, and the scammers try to steal your credit card, bank account and routing number, or Social Security number and personal information. Some scammers try to gain your trust by looking up the name associated with your phone number and asking for you by name when they call. Many India scammers now phone you with an initial pre-recorded robotic person speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech software to disguise the origin of their India phone room, but then you speak to the East Indian scammer when you take the bait and respond to the pre-recorded message. Scammers often either use disposable VoIP phone numbers or they spoof fake Caller ID phone numbers. Anyone, including you, can use telecom software or a third-party service to phone using fake names and phone numbers that show up on Caller ID. India scammers often spoof fake toll-free Caller ID numbers that begin with "8". India scammers do not care about the U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry and asking scammers to stop calling has no effect. I love to play with these scammers and keep them on the phone by pretending to be interested in their scam because many scam victims are the senile elderly. You do these scammers a favor by yelling at them and immediately hanging up. But you ruin their scams by slowly dragging them along on the phone call, calling them back if their phone number can be phoned, pretending to be interested in their product or service, pretending that you are worried when they threaten you, always giving them fake credit card numbers and fake personal information, asking them to speak louder and to repeat what they said to use up more of their energy, etc. The best defense against phone scammers is a good offense by not quickly hanging up the phone, but instead toying with them for at least 10 or 20 minutes to use up more of their time and energy so they have less time to deceive an elderly victim. Never give an unknown caller your credit card number or Social Security number. Companies who already have your information may ask for the last four digits for verification. Some India scammers ask for your bank account and routing number or ask you to wire transfer them a payment, giving a fake explanation that they cannot accept a credit card or personal check. This is an instant scammer alert because scammers can withdraw money if they know your bank account and routing number (e.g. counterfeit cashed checks) and illegal wire transfers are far less traceable than unauthorized credit card charges. India scammers may threaten to have you arrested, but the IRS, Social Security Administration, and debt collectors cannot threaten to arrest or sue you on the phone; they are required to send you paper notices by registered mail. If the scam sounds very authentic, ask the scammer for their verifiable company name, street address, and a callback number, which all real businesses will provide. Every East Indian scammer will immediately fail this test since they all use spoofed fake Caller ID numbers or VoIP numbers that they quickly dispose of. Never trust any unsolicited call because they are mostly scammers, usually with a slight or strong East Indian foreign accent, and most scam calls originate from India. No other foreign country is infested with numerous noisy sweatshops filled with phone scam criminals. These India scammers belong to the lowest India caste and many are thieves, robbers, and rapists who were serving jail sentences and released early due to prison overcrowding.
