A man with a heavy Indian accent called and said he worked for the government and wanted to give me a $3500 government grant and wanted to confirm my bank account information in order to make a deposit into my account. The man already knew my account number, address, name, and phone number.
I called Wells Fargo and reported that my account had been compromised and they closed the account an moved my money to a new account number.
About 2 weeks later I noticed that an electronic transfer had been made out of my account by NHS for 299.95. Wells Fargo forwarded the electronic transfer to my new account as a courtesy.
I contacted Wells Fargo and filled out a fraud report and got my money back about 2 weeks later. They also put in a stop payment order to try to prevent NHS from making further withdrawls from my account.
I contacted NHS and they claimed that they had a recording my voice requesting an account with them. I told them that they were a scam operation.
I contacted them again after I got my money returned to my account and they said that my account with them is now closed. I informed them that I had contacted the California Insurance Commission and that they could expect a cease and desist order to stop all operations in California from them shortly.
