A Wells Fargo customer in Texas says the bank has refused to reimburse her after scammers drained $3,300 from her account through the payments platform Zelle.<\/p>\n

Ashlie Rinehart says she received a call on April 1st from a number that appeared on caller ID as Wells Fargo, reports<\/a> Fox 26 Houston.<\/p>\n

She says the caller claimed to work for Wells Fargo\u2019s fraud department and told her that her account had been hacked.<\/p>\n

The caller then allegedly instructed Rinehart to enter a series of numbers that apparently gave the scammers access to her Zelle account. A total of $3,300 was taken in two separate transactions, according to the report.<\/p>\n

Rinehart says she realized the call was fraudulent after spending more than an hour on the phone. She then went to a Wells Fargo branch to report the scam and also filed a report with the Harris County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Fox 26 says Wells Fargo denied her claim three times, telling her that she allowed someone to access her Zelle account.<\/p>\n

The station also received a statement from Zelle spokesperson Eric Blankenbaker, who said scams often begin through social media, online marketplaces, text messages and spoofed phone calls.<\/p>\n

Fox 26 says Wells Fargo has previously reversed some denied scam claims, but the bank remains firm when customers follow scammers\u2019 instructions and withdraw or send the money themselves.<\/p>\n
