Did Wells Fargo fake accounts extend to Prudential insurance?

Investigators in California and New Jersey are set to launch a probe into Wells Fargo over whether the bank’s recent fake account scandal extended beyond credit cards and bank accounts. The investigations come on the heels of whistleblower lawsuit filed by three former Prudential Insurance employees, who accused Wells Fargo of opening up insurance policies and automatically deducting the insurance premiums from customers’ accounts without prior authorization.
