ZELLE SCAM-Don’t fall for this!
I posted some pool supplies for sale on Facebook and this is the scam they tried to pull.
Your email or text message will say something like this.
“You have a pending payment of $65.00 USD from a recent payee because this amount seems to be above your balance limit and the status of your Zelle account is not a business account.” They instruct you to call a number that is not for your bank of course it is to them.
This scammer also ask me if I took Venmo or PayPal I believe so the scam is similar I’m sure where you have to send money to get your payment. I hate these people unfortunately many people fall for it or they wouldn’t be doing it.
Don’t get scammed hang up on everybody you don’t know regardless who they say they are!
