Carla, Hans & Kees. I too, do not have an account at Wells Fargo, but this is one of many different types of scam emails, purporting to be from one of the major Bank companys. They all are of a similar vein. They all are scams. If you click on the link given & enter your details, the virus that is downloaded, wipes out your hard drive in anything upto to an hour after you click. That way, you don't know where you got the virus from, it is called a time-bomb virus & they are nasty. By the time you get your P.C. running again, your bank account is empty. So if you are not with this particular bank, the next email you get from these scammers may look like it's from your bank. So be careful. Send it to your bank, with a warning about the link (you don't want to be the cause of your Banks computers crashing). There systems can hopefully find out where the emails originated from.
