I had a scam text saying that they were doing maintenance on the Wel's Fargo bank and asked for my card number. Well, I got the last laugh out of that text. I don't even have a bank account! I live with my family. So, I wouldn't even be able to help that scammer even if I wanted to! I don't even have a bank account! The life of a scam artist!
