It is an attempt by scammers to gain access to your personal information.

Even persons who do not have an account with Wells Fargo, have been receiving the text message.

The text message gives a web site address to respond to that appears to be from Wells Fargo, but it IS NOT.  Again, do not respond to this text message or access the website given. If you have any questions about your account, call Wells Fargo directly or stop by your local branch.
