You nearly gave your account number to a bank you are not banking with? Or do you and this man share the same bank?

The stranger and I share a bank. For some reason, his info is coming to my address.

I called the bank (at their real number listed on their website), and they said they want my account number to fix it.

OK, they just want to make sure you are the person who you say you are. You can give them your account number.

I suppose this is either a clerical error on the bank's part, or the man wants a fake address in your state, for some reason.

What if she didn't use WF? How is her concern about the address any different? DO NOT give them your info, OP.[/quote]

I agree with you. It doesn't make any sense to me that they would want my account number.

Also, the person at the bank (this phone number is on the Wells Fargo website), said they could not find my account under our names. It seems to me that they'd be able to locate this info in their system.

The person didn't seem like a scammer because he wasn't trying to force me to do anything. I encountered a phone tree before I could speak to a real person, who seemed surprised and a bit confused by what I was asking. He wasn't trying to get me to talk to someone about this topic. So I do think I was speaking to someone at the bank.

I am freezing my account at the credit bureaus because why not? While I'm at it, I'm changing all my accounts to be paperless so we don't get important mail any longer. I began reading about different frauds and figured I'd do this now and be prepared of someone tries to redirected my financial statements.
