The Sioux Falls Police Department has received over 25 phone calls from concerned citizens about a phone scam.  People have received a phone call that states a person's Wells Fargo credit or debit card needs to be reinstated. 

The person is asked to enter their credit card number and PIN to reactivate the card.  The reasons for the card being inactivated vary from the card being declined, or compromised.  These phone calls are a scam.  Do not provide the caller with any information. 

Wells Fargo does not make phone calls asking for credit card or account information.  If you received one of these calls, simply hang up without providing any personal information.
