Wachovia-Wells Fargo Customers

I used to get those from other "institutions".

report and delete.

your bank will contact you in a traditional matter if they need to.

"Your online access have been temporarily suspended...."

It's a fake. I get similar (fake) ones from Bank of America and Chase. There's always at least one spelling or grammar error...dead giveaway. They're getting better at the logos, though.

Never ever click on a link like that. Banks will tell you to call them, not click on a link.

If you are concerned about the authenticity of it and the security of your account info, pull out one of your old bank statements and call the number printed on the statement. Don't call any numbers except the one on an old statement.

Tell them you want to verify the source of the email and the details contained in it. If there is a problem with your account, they should be able to tell you.


Wells Fargo's security department will probably ask you to forward the email to them. They've requested them from me when I've called to verify scam emails.

Another way to verify it is if you do online banking with them. Any email they send you will also be listed as a new message for you in the inbox on your account summary page after you've logged into their banking website. If there isn't a duplicate there, then the one you received is a fake.

Hell no do not go there!!!!!!!!!!!

If you wish to check your account go there using your normal bookmark however there is almost no question nothing is wrong with your account someone is dong fishing.

Oh always look when your are logging on banks sites and such that the https lock symbol is display in IE7 it is on right top.

Good job. If you didn't click on the link then you're okay.

Yeah I got one from Wells Fargo about my bank account - I do not have a Wells Fargo bank account - Wells Fargo seems to be a poplular one for fraud - they have on their website where you contact and forward this email to for their investigation.

That's weird - I am also related to an African Prince! We may be related.
