Yes, they are starting a pilot program to evaluate fees on debit cards.

I'd like to thank these scammers for calling me at 2:45 AM.

Yeah, I just got that same call, and I've never banked with Wells Fargo any time in my life.

I don't know what online checking is, but Greater Iowa Credit Union has the other things you mentioned.

This is one helluva wide ranging scam they have going on.

I'm with Community Choice Credit Union and they have all the above and no fees.

quick google news search shows only in central iowa and western iowa, seems like someone is targeting 1 area or only has phone numbers for one area...

People like this seriously need to invest time into starting a business instead of stealing and we would all be better off...
