Fake bank fraud My computer froze and urged me to contact Microsoft Security. Computer locked up while googling. I contacted the number on the screen and Microsoft Security transferred me to Wells Fargo Security. Microsoft Security instructed the key strokes to hit that would give them access. They detected hackers had downloaded child porn from my Wells Fargo account claiming I authorized this at 4 am this morning using my name and home phone number. I did not. I was told an employee at the bank was involved. They called the FTC and created the plan for me to safeguard my account by getting a cashier's check for $75,000 and depositing in SolidStart Construction Inc. account at Bank of America. I was instructed not to speak to anyone as this was a federal investigation. I was told to keep them on the phone while I drove to the bank so they could hear the transaction to get the cashier’s check and then to deposit it at Bank of America. Wells Fargo told me later that they do not have such a department. I tried to do a stop payment the next day at 9 am at the banks involved, my bank, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America (fraudulent account) and was unsuccessful.   Unknown Email  (818) 293-1653
