"Grandma's $147K Phone Scam Recovery and Wells Fargo Customer's Costly Trust"

Judith Anderson, a San Diego grandmother, recovered $147,000 lost to a phone scam after her daughter, Tracy Martinez, raised the alarm on social media and pressed Wells Fargo for answers. The scammer used fear tactics and urgency to convince Anderson to wire the money, but her bank ultimately credited her account after a thorough review. The recovered funds will help Anderson continue caring for her husband at a hospice care facility, and she hopes to raise awareness to prevent others from falling victim to similar scams.
