Old Fashioned Phone Scamming

I just listened to my answering machine, and had a message that a check card was going to expire, which is curious as I do not use one. So, I double-checked the time to incoming calls on the telephone, and there is nothing there- even more curious. So, I fired up one of the internet phone to check the numbers left to call, and low and behold what to I get:

877-294-6133
Disconnected

800-869-3557
Wells Fargo

800-225-9355
Recording to call 800-918-8255 (TALK)

Now, I do not know if Wells Fargo actually made the orginal call, or if someone is using a faked Wells Fargo recording, but I just thought I would pass this along.

Oh, and if it actually is Wells Fargo, I would not use their banking services if you paid me...
