它是如何工作的
Zelle®类似于现金. So you want to make sure you use it to pay only people you know and trust, 比如你的室友, 你爸爸, 或者你的保姆.1 而不是你不认识的人, like that stranger on the internet selling suspiciously inexpensive puppies from a place you've never heard of. Look for Zelle® in your mobile banking app, and pay it safe out there.
The "Pay Yourself Scam" begins with a text message from a scammer that looks like a fraud alert from your financial institution. 如果你 respond to the text message and engage the scammer, you’ll receive a call from a number that appears to be your credit union or bank. The scammer pretends to be an official representative and offers to stop the alleged fraud. In 真正的ity, the scammer is actually tricking you into sending money to their own bank account.
Remember, 元素 will never ask you to send money to yourself.
如果你 detect suspicious activity, hang up and contact us directly at the number listed on the back of your debit card, 通过你的手机应用程序, 或者在我们的网站上.
It's important to keep an eye out for new variations of this scam.
Instead of asking you to send money to your own 电子邮件 address or phone number, the fraudster may ask you to send money to an 电子邮件 address that they provide.
No legitimate financial institution will ask you to send money via Zelle® to any account, so any form of this request is likely a scam.
