Wells Fargo, fraud and suspicious activity
Verified against wellsfargo.com, 31 August 2026: 1-866-867-5568, or the number on the back of your card.
Who to report to, by country.
Government or nationally recognised bodies only. No aggregators, no paid "recovery" services. Filing takes minutes and feeds the intelligence that eventually shuts scams down. It's usually a separate step from getting your money back.
Money is still moving? Call your bank before you fill in any form. See the first-hour checklist. This directory is for the official record, not for stopping a live transfer.
No country matches that search. Try a broader term, or use the international option below.

Banks and financial institutions
A different job from the agencies above. Government desks collect intelligence and rarely get your money back directly. Your bank is who can actually try to freeze or reverse a payment, and speed matters more here than anywhere else.
Our policy: we only publish a bank or agency phone number if we've verified it directly against that organisation's own domain, on the date shown. A search for "bank fraud department number" while researching this page returned fake support numbers, confidently written, ranked above the real one. That's the exact scam this site exists to stop. Every number below was checked against the issuing organisation's own site, not found via search. If we can't verify a number that way, we link to the organisation's page instead of guessing. Either way: the number on the back of your own card, or inside your banking app, is always the safest option.
Chase, report fraud
Chase's own guidance directs customers to the number on the back of their card for fraud; they don't publish a separate fraud line. Linked here rather than guessing one.

Run by the US Department of Justice for financial fraud against older adults, regardless of which bank is involved. Verified 31 August 2026: 1-833-372-8311.

US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Use this if your bank itself isn't handling a fraud claim properly, separate from reporting the scam.
