I got this exact same text today as well. Word for word.

I just received a text saying $1598.95 was debited to 'your card' at Amazon but funny, they don't say WHICH card.

Got a text 10/23 saying "Wells Fargo (Contact Us Immediately) at the same phone number. I deleted it.
Got two text messages to call immediately Wells Fargo - 8338531165. Deleted both.
got a text on 10/23 and I just don't don't click on the link.
I got a text from them Saturday 10/23 and Sunday 10/24 telling me to call them back using two different numbers. I closed my wells fargo accounts years ago so I knew it was a scam.
Just adding to the database. Received the text on Saturday, Oct 23, same as all of the other commenters here. Caller ID says: 8BDA3D16. When I click on info, completely blank. Can’t even block it. Crazy.
I received a text at 7:06 PM on 10/23/2021 Saturday. I knew immediately that it wasn’t from Wells Fargo and I called Wells Fargo right away. Mike, a customer service representative from Wells Fargo, told me that anytime Wells Fargo sends a text message, they use certain 5 numbers that they send the text from. These scamming jokers used these numbers and letters: 613DEAD9. Instant idiots. Wells Fargo does not use numbers and letters. The phone number they tell you to call them back immediately is also wrong, Obviously. Don’t let these scammers trick you, your family, or your friends. Spread the word. Let them know about every scam you know about, so they won’t become another innocent victim to these demon spawns. I wish you the best of luck. God Bless You!
Also got a text - did not respond & googled the number. Wells Fargo would never contact customers in this way…
Received a text to call that number, it is Saturday and I don't even have an account with them.
I also just received a text but did not click on anything...must be scam as I suspected.
I received a similar text....deleted immediately after googling the number.
I got a text requesting to call Wells Fargo immediately at 833-853-1165
I don’t even bank with Wells Fargo. That was a big hint that this was a scam.
I just got a text from “Wells Fargo” with this number. I didn’t call the number I just looked it up on google first.
