Do Not Call 201-762-8255 - it is Being Used By Scammers

I received the text message below from 201-762-8255. I suspected that it was fraudulent so I called a legitimate Wells Fargo number and spoke with Joe, who told me that everything was OK with my debit card. He then instructed me to report the fraudulent text message to email address: reportphish@wellsfargo.com. The contents of the text message are enclosed below.

The Fraudulent Text Message

Remember, always contact Wells Fargo directly using the contact information on their website at https://www.wellsfargo.com/help/ for questions about your debit or credit card.
