Late last year, I kept getting credit card and other info from Wells Fargo sent to my house in someone's name I did not know. I called WF main offices and told them the person did not live here or had I ever heard of such a person. They said they would 'close the account' and I never heard another word from them. Still get stuff from time to time, so I throw it in the trash. I've never even been in a WF bank, even though there is one less than a mile from my house. I've never had an account with them, either...............

[ncfool]

Gee! how does that happen with 5300 employees. That does not make any sense.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Let me guess: 1,999,999 of those phony accounts had the name, ‘Clinton’ attached to them?

*SMIRK*

[sparklite2]

5,300? Wow, there goes the quarter’s employment stats.

[henkster]

The big national banks like Wells Fargo, Citi, Chase, etc.... are to be avoided at all costs. They are the crony capitalist collective farm.

[BenLurkin]

How did this get past the auditors?

Those guys (and gals) always made everyone nervous when they showed up. Or at least they did back in the day.

[USMCPOP]

“fired 5,300 employees related to the shady behavior...”

Ho Lee Shit.

[DannyTN]

This went on for 5 years and involved 5300 employees?
This had to have middle management if not top management support.

[Talisker]

Fired hell, what about arrests?

Sneeze in a bank and SWAT surrounds you, but these bastards created thousands of fraudulent accounts to steal depositor money. Wells Fargo should be shut down under RICO laws and their management jailed for life.

[Billthedrill]

Yeah. I had to change my account login because somebody had tried to use it and it set off a security alert. The only problem I had with 5300 firings is that 5300 butts didn’t get kicked first.

I have the exact same story, except that it was in my name.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like the slamming and cramming the phone companies used to do.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There ought to be criminal charges brought up on them.

[oldbill]

Here comes the racism comments, but I’ll bet if you do a study you’ll find there is an illegal alien component to both the perpetrators and the victims.

Back in the subprime collapse days, Wells Fargo was one of the big players in issuing subprime loans to illegal aliens.

[forgotten man]

Wells Fargo is one of the banks that led the way in giving mortgages to illegal aliens. We all paid for that. I remember their reasoning was “Not everybody has a social security number. They are good people. It’s not fair to deny hundreds of thousands of dollars in mortgages to somebody just because you don’t know what their name is.” Wuck Fells Wargo.

[DAC21]

They had to somehow come up with the funds to pay for the Clinton speeches. What better than 5,300 sycophant Wells Fargo employees lying and cheating people of their hard earned money. Perfect Clinton type employees.

[TADSLOS]

From the same bank that was a big part of the ALT-A Home Loans to illegals that brought on the banking crisis in 2008. Too Big To Fail, Too Connected for Jail.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Don’t feel too badly for them. Heard many have been hired by the democrat voter registration offices.

[GingisK]

They are certainly not the Wells Fargo of old.

[moovova]

“Many customers who had unauthorized credit cards opened in their names were hit by annual fees, interest charges and other fees.”

“Oh look Ethel...here’s another charge on our statement that I don’t have a clue about. I won’t call the bank about THIS ONE either.”

[Oldexpat]

We have one account at Wells and their employees are always very aggressive a out opening more. I guess this explains it.
