Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Fee problem

Consumer Complaint: We are a merchant with a business account with Wells Fargo Bank. Our operations include in person and online sales. Between XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX our website was attacked by what seems to be a robot which attempted XXXX purchase transactions from which a small portion got approved and have been charged back since. Nonetheless, the card processing fees alone for the XXXX and so transaction-attempts mounted up to a total of {$13000.00}. Wells Fargo decided unilaterally, that they would do " a-one-time courtesy refund of about 80 % of the total amount '' of the aforementioned fees and that we, the merchant should still pay up the remainder of {$4400.00}, for " not having sufficient security measures in place '', in order to prevent this activity. We have consulted with a web services technician and have been advised that there no security measurements within our dashboard that may prevent an attack so big and orchestrated. In fact, an attack so big should have been detected by the processing networks and stopped it after the few XXXX transaction attempts. At the same time, we are still dealing with the chargebacks and keeping track of them. At this point, we just want to refunded in full for processing fees derived from the attack, so we can be net XXXX from that episode and carry on with our business. Please advise. We thank you beforehand for your time on this matter. XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: I have been a loyal Wellsfargo customer for XXXX decades and recently became a victim of fraud while banking with this institution. I recently had " device interference '' in which my username and password were used and I was contacted by a scam artist. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX I received a call from a man claiming to be from Wellsfargo. My caller ID said Wellsfargo and he was able to send me text messages from Wellsfargo to confirm that he was legitimate. After reviewing fraudulent charges, he told me that I needed to reverse a wire to myself at which point I unknowingly transferred money to a dummy account which was not mine. I immediately contacted Wellsfargo once I realized this ( at XXXX MST ). It took the fraud team over FOUR hours to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the recipient bank ) and recall the wire. At which point the money was transferred and withdrawn and now my case is " no longer fraud ''. The wire was completed at XXXX. I reached out to Wellsfargo at XXXX. Wellsfargo did not request that the wire be frozen until XXXX ( this is according to their call notes ) They did not receive confirmation of the request from XXXX XXXX XXXX until the morning of XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. At this point the money was gone. It is also at this point that Wellsfargo decided that my case was no longer fraud since I had given the person my username and password ) which is completely untrue. My account was hacked because I did not have XXXX factor authentication I find it suspicious that Wells Fargo decided that this was no longer fraud after the wire was not retrievable. I have contacted Wells Fargo 's call centers dozens of times only to receive a different reply and be pushed onto another representative. I feel that if this would have been acted upon with more urgency all of this would have been avoided.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: I was the victim of a scam that I thought was a work from home job. The scammers went as far as interviewing me for the job. Then they sent me a check to deposit and send through XXXX, which ultimately returned unpaid. Originally I sent my own money in place of the check because i believed it would clear because it looked to have been accepted. The next morning I freaked out because the scammers got access to my bank login and got me for {$1200.00}. Which was all the money in my account. I called the bank to dispute the fraud of {$1000.00} and {$200.00}. I filed a police report and a complaint with the XXXX for the supposed data entry position of XXXX XXXX. I contacted the fake employer and was blocked. The bank took my info and filed the complaint but didn't allow me to submit my proof. After a week my bank account is closed and my claim was denied. I am unable to appeal the decision according to the lady on wellsfargo customer service which I believe to be false because the letter states otherwise. The money scammed was all my unemployment money. I had never had an issue or problem as a customer before that incident. What concerns me is the fact that the check was accepted in the first place, which led me to believe it was good. I don't know what to do. I need some help please!

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX around XXXXXXXX XXXX, I received an email regarding an {$80.00} XXXX transfer that I did not initiate. Following the instructions in the email, I immediately contacted the XXXX number provided as it suggested for any unauthorized transactions. During this call, I was informed that a new XXXX email had been added to my XXXX account and used for the unauthorized transfer. Furthermore, a new recipient was also added to my XXXX account without my authorization. The representative I spoke with took prompt action by removing the unauthorized recipient and email associated with the transfer. They also provided me with a XXXX number to call the following day to update my online credentials, since that department had closed for the day. The subsequent day, I contacted the provided number and received assistance in changing my username and password. Additionally, the agent facilitated the closure of my account and transferred the remaining balance to a new account. They advised me to scan my phone before logging back in with the new credentials, ensuring added security measures. Prior to these incidents, I received a voicemail on XX/XX/XXXX, urging me to contact the Wells Fargo Fraud Prevention center at XXXX and reference case number they left in the voicemail. Upon doing so, I was notified of unusual logins from locations outside my usual area of activity, such as California and XXXX. Additionally, verification of personal information regarding a recently opened checking account was requested. Once verified, I was assured that my account would not be closed. The agent also assisted in updating my online credentials as a precautionary measure. In summary, I am unfamiliar with the recipient to whom the {$80.00} was transferred. Moreover, I did not authorize the addition of XXXX email to my XXXX account for the transaction in question. I kindly request that the funds be returned to my account, as this transfer was unauthorized. I sincerely appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and the assistance in rectifying this situation.
