Don't Fall for the Zelle Texting Scam
In September of 2022, one woman lost thousands of dollars as a result of believing text messages she had received were from Zelle®. These sort of scams are all too common these days. Receiving a text message from a credit card you don't own or an account you've never opened might be confusing, but the goal is to get you to react. Scammers count on your initial reaction to the message to create their opportunity. If you react without doing your research, you will open yourself up to being defrauded of your money.
