PHISH WARNING

Be warned there is a phish going round, claiming to be from Wells Fargo.

This is not of course really from Wells Fargo, but a crude attempt by a scammer to relieve you of your passcodes.

1 I received this mail twice

2 I am not a customer of Wells Fargo

3 No reputable bank will ever ask for your security details by phone or mail

If you receive one of these, do not click through on the link.

Dear Wells Fargo customer,

As you may already know, we at Wells Fargo guarantee your online security and partner with you to prevent fraud. Due to the newly introduced Comprehensive Quarterly Updates Program (which is meant to help you against identity theft, monitor your credit and correct any possible errors), we urge you to go through the 2 steps Wells Fargo Account Confirmation process. The operation involves logging in and confirming your identity over a secure connection at:
