20260506 - Be vigilent people. Scams abound, and some are very convincing. I get multiple scam emails per day. This kind of thing could wipe out a person's livelihood.
An email that appears to be from Wells Fargo and says unauthorized transactions detected.
DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT click on the link that says something about verification, or any links, within the email. This is called "phishing" and is an attempt to steal your logon information. If you have concerns, call your bank directly or even better go to a branch. Never call any numbers within the email though.
Note: If you click to see the from address, you'll notice its not a wells fargo domain name.
2 Helpfull Tips:
(1) Ensure all passwords are at least 12 characters. Preferably including upper and lower case letters, some numbers, and even symbols.
(2) On financial related accounts, where money is accessible and or spendable, enable multi factor authentication where available.
(3) The most important password you have is your email password.
(4) If you use a computer to shop, and you save passwords in your browser, then a password equally important to #3 is your computer password. Fight the urge to use pin numbers to log on to your computer.
