Wells Fargo customers are the latest targets of phishing scam emails that ask to update personal data or address an issue with insufficient funds. If a recipient falls victim to the scheme, their information is sent directly to third-party cyber thieves. The phishing emails look alarmingly authentic, and Wells Fargo advises customers to remain suspicious of all messages that claim to be from its customer service department. One way to spot fraudulent emails is to look at the sender's address, which is often a random sequence of letters and numbers. The fake Wells Fargo message may also contain alerts regarding insufficient funds or overdrafts and ask users to click on a counterfeit link. To prevent this, hover over the link to identify its authenticity. You should also open a new browser tab or window and login to your Wells Fargo account directly.
