Verify it yourself

Is that Wells Fargo / Bank of America fraud call or text real?

Assume it's fake until you verify it yourself. Real banks never ask for your password, PIN, full card number, or a one-time security code — and they never ask you to move money “to a safe account,” which is the signature of this scam. Hang up and call the number on the back of your card; if the fraud alert was real, the bank will see it on your account.

Is someone impersonating your brand?

The costume in these scams — a lookalike domain, a copied storefront, a spoofed sender — is exactly what the brand impersonation audit researches for your company: lookalike domains, typosquats, and copycat sites trading on your name, each with evidence and a risk rating, plus a ready-to-send takedown-request template.
