  • News Alert: Wells Fargo uncovers up to 1.4 million more fake accounts

    From CNN Breaking News@VERT to no-reply@siteservices.cnn.com on Thu Aug 31 07:14:40 2017
    Wells Fargo says a deeper dig into the bank's broken sales culture has found a total of up to 3.5 million potentially fake bank and credit card accounts[1], up from its earlier tally of approximately 2.1 million. The additional 1.4 million fake accounts were discovered by a previously announced analysis that went back to January 2009 and that reviewed the original May 2011 to mid-2015 period.

    The bank also discovered a new problem: thousands of customers were also enrolled in online bill pay without their authorization. The review found 528,000 potentially unauthorized online bill pay enrollments.

    Wells Fargo has blamed the scandal, which began last September, on unrealistic sales goals placed on employees.

    OK the tagline generator keeps adding ... even though ... is not in the tag weird.
    it should read - .- --. .-.. .. -. . --. --- . ... .... . .-. .
    Hams would know what this tag says.

    They're too big to fail.

    They could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and people would still bank with them. ---

    Actually they're not to big to fail, I will make a bold prediction here within two years they will be either bought out by another bank or they will change their name.

    If people continue to bank with Wells Fargo then they deserve what they get!
    I bank with a local Credit Union and have for many years I would never bank with a regular Bank again.

    It seems possible, likely even, that the kind of people who buy and sell bank stocks would see their willingness to defraud their customers to meet sales targets as a big plus.
