Wells Fargo Bank is a big target.

I just received in an e-mail the Wells Fargo scam that has been going around recently.  I saw it on the news last night, they said that one in three of us has an account with Wells Fargo and that is what makes this so lucrative for the thieves.

Here is what the e-mail looks like:

Wells Fargo Bank, Encrypted Key: wf-101g/n7kdj48v51nmzl

Dear Wells Fargo Customer,

Wells Fargo Bank, is committed to maintaining a safe environment for our customers.

Please Update Your Wells Fargo Account

To prevent an interruption with your Wells Fargo, please take a few moments to update your
information today. Failure to update your account today might cause your account to go inactive.

To get started, please see:

Your Wells Fargo Account (THIS WAS A LINK THAT I DELETED)

I know this is a fake since I don't have an account with Wells Fargo.  Remember, your bank won't send out messages like this.  It was sent without any name in the "To:" field in my e-mail.  If you receive this or any correspondence from your bank, go to your bank and talk to someone about it.  Do not follow the link.  They are trying to steal your account info so they can clean out your account.
