Smishing Scam Targets Wells Fargo
Bank Info Security reports thousands of cell phone numbers in Oregon have been targeted in a smishing scam that attempts to get victims to respond with account details related to their Wells Fargo accounts. The scam claims accounts have been deactivated, requiring immediate attention, says Bend, Ore., Police Lt. Ken Stenkamp. Stenkamp, who says his two children also received the phishing text, confirms only a 63-year-old woman reported being victimized by the smishing scheme. The text message asks users to reply back with sensitive information, including account numbers and PINs.
