My neice was contacted by a man named Thomas Winter at AmidaPlus through her college email. She received 6 letters with instructions. I will copy and paste the instruction letter below. We contacted Wells Fargo after recieving an overnight letter (hand written),a nd a check in the amount of $2050.00, from an account at Wells Fargo from a federal express acct. After contacting Wells Fargo, we were told that they had never sent an ovenight check from that acct and that they had been hacked, along with a company called Biotechsys. As of this morning, 3 students from the same school as my neice attends had contacted Wells Fargo with the same issue. The school email had also been hacked, and they are preying on college students to aid them in forwarding money to numerous accts. Please see the instructions the students received below:

  • Hi John,

    I am not sure if I stated above what I did as a result of this scam...but I called Wells Fargo and found out that they had not sent a check to my niece and that they had discovered that their Fed Ex acct had been hacked. They are investigating, and they know that numerous people have received these checks. I have turned them into the Attorney General of Indiana. If you do not live in Indiana it would be best to contact your local Attorney General about the matter. This company has done serious damage to Wells Fargo and Fed Ex. Thanks for your reply :) Smartgal
