Fraud Alert

[Big Wall]

I received a text from WFOnline (I bank with Wells Fargo (whose real internet address is wellsfargo.com)) saying that my debit card had been deactivated and to call a number to have it reactivated. I don't text so I didn't even read it until days after it said my card was deactivated. My card was never deactivated so I think it was just a text to find people dumb enough to call and give out their debit card number.

Unless I'm stupid, what's the fraud?

Yes it is I handle Customer service for a bank, and I deal with that type of stuff all the time.
