Here are some of the fake Wells Fargo websites that were embedded in the fake text messages that we have received:
-
hxxp://www.wellsfargorestore4237.net
-
hxxp://www.WellsFargoRestore.com
-
hxxp://www.wellsfargorestore4237.net
The fake websites should not be visited.
Once the cybercriminals have received their potential victims' Well Fargo online account credentials, they will use it to gain access to their accounts, steal their money and use the accounts fraudulently.
This is why it is important that Wells Fargo customers never click on or follow a link to sign into their online accounts. They should always go directly to https://www.wellsfargo.com/ and sign-in from their instead. This will protect them against phishing scams. Also, Wells Fargo's customers can protect their accounts using Two Step Authentication / Verification or Two Factor Authentication. This process creates an additional layer of security that helps protect their information and prevent unauthorized transactions. Click here to learn more.
