Wells Fargo Reportedly Rejects Reimbursement After $44,000 Drained From Accounts – Until Questions Surface in the Media

Wells Fargo reportedly refused to refund customers who recently had their accounts drained by scammers – until the bank began facing questions from the media. Houston resident Heather Sanders was defrauded for $4,000, while in a separate incident, Texas couple Jose and Amanda Vasquez had $40,000 stolen from their business account, reports FOX 26. In both cases, Wells Fargo reportedly denied the victims’ claims until the media investigated the incidents. The bank changed its rulings on both cases and has now reimbursed what was stolen from the accounts. Sanders says she received a call bearing Wells Fargo’s phone number. Sanders says the person on the other line convinced her that her account was at risk, with someone trying to move funds out of her account and into Zelle. During the call, Sanders says the thief asked her to input her old PIN into her phone and enter a new PIN twice before hitting the pound sign. She also says that the scammer told her to cut her debit card, place it inside an envelope and wait for a courier to pick it up. “I made the mistake, I didn’t cut the chip in half. I just cut the card in half like he said.” The thieves ended up plundering her account, withdrawing over $4,000 from different locations, including a Wells Fargo ATM. Sanders abruptly sought the assistance of Wells Fargo to recover her funds, but the bank denied her request for reimbursement. However, Wells Fargo reopened the matter after the media reported on the story and then reimbursed her. In the Vasquez case, the couple noticed someone had attempted to set up a direct transfer for $20,000 and asked the bank to stop the transfer. Not only did the transfer go through, but another $20,000 transfer did as well. The couple says they don’t understand why Wells Fargo allowed the second $20,000 transfer to go through when they had already been alerted of the first fraudulent transaction. After filing a claim, Wells Fargo said it detected no fraud in the disappearance of their money, declaring the investigation closed. But soon after the media reported on the incident, the couple says the bank made them whole.
