Received call at 1:30am est. voicemail claiming to be Wells Fargo Fraud Dept stating a charge from Best Buy of $246.00 was denied. I do not have any accounts with Wells Fargo. 800-869-3557 does belong to Wells Fargo, are the spam/fraud calls spoofing?

I got a call from 800-869-3557 at 2:46AM claiming that someone tried to use one of my accounts to purchase items at BestBuy and they wanted me call them.
Automated call saying a $224 charge was attempted at BestBuy.com and to call a specific number to verify. I didn't write down that number and called the Wells Fargo fraud dept directly who confirmed this is a known scam.
