Bank Real Estate Tax Services Imposter Reports & Reviews (1)

- Washington, DC, USA

I got a letter in the mail on official-looking Wells Fargo letterhead claiming that they mistakenly paid my property taxes for me, and needed me to reimburse them with a check in the enclosed postage-paid mailer. However, my mortgage was never held by Wells Fargo, and I haven't had a personal Wells Fargo account in about 10 years. I called Wells Fargo at their official number and spoke to people in their mortgage/real estate division who searched the database for any communication to on me or info on my property. They found nothing, and said that they would never send this type of letter, and that it was a scam.

The scammers keep sending me letters (including one overnighted via FedEx) attempting to collect money from me. Please beware and do not contact the sender via the information provided in the letter -- contact Wells Fargo using their official customer service numbers on the website.

The text of the letter says:
