Product: Checking or savings account

Case : On the fourth day of XXXX XXXX, at XXXX XXXX  in the afternoon my wife receives a call from a representative of the Wells Fargo bank where we have our checking and savings accounts. 

This person pretending to be an employee of Wells Fargo, asked me if I had ordered a check book in the state of California, and I replied that no, we have no relationship with California. The person asked me to send him a security code back, opening the dial number pad and I did it as instructed. 
Wells Fargo usually asks for a security code in other transactions we have made with the bank ), This person told me that he needed to close the check request claim, and that is why he required the code. The call ends, which lasted about XXXX minutes. 

Half an hour later I received a text message from Wells Fargo telling me that the wire transfer was in process. 

I check my account on my cell phone, and discover that {$24000.00} had been stolen. I immediately called the Wells Fargo fraud center to report that I had not authorized any wire transfers from my account.
