Selling something online?
Don’t fall for the “Zelle® Business Account Upgrade” scam!

According to Zelle®, a scam is defined as being knowingly involved in a transaction, giving the ‘ok’ and authorizing a payment to be sent, but not receiving what was expected. Here is an example of a real-world scam:

• Dave is selling a bike online for $1000. Aiko offers to buy Dave’s bike and will Zelle® him the money using his email address.
  
  
• Dave receives an official-looking email from Zelle® saying a $1000 Zelle® deposit from Aiko is on hold and that he’ll need to ‘upgrade to a Zelle® Business Account’ to release it. To do that, Aiko must send him $500 more, which Dave must then return to her to complete a ‘business transaction.’ Once complete, all funds become available.
  
  
• Dave thinks this is strange, but Aiko is willing to help and will send another $500, only if Dave promises to return it. Dave gives his word that he will return the money.
• He receives another email saying a $500 Zelle® deposit is on hold until he sends a $500 payment back to Aiko. Dave, as promised, sends Aiko a $500 transfer and awaits the $1,500 deposit that’s been promised to him.
  
  
• Unfortunately, there is no $1,500 deposit. There is no buyer, and Dave didn't pay attention enough to realize that the emails were fake. Dave has been scammed, and a scam like this isn’t covered by banks. A $500 lesson for Dave.

Zelle® is a safe and secure way to transfer funds - but only with people you trust. Never make Zelle® payments to people you don’t personally know, unless you have the item in hand. 

If you have any questions regarding scams or fraud, call our Customer Service Center at 808-544-0500.
