The scammer answers as “Zelle Suppoat” and asked for my name and ZIP Code and if I ever transferred $750 through Zelle. As I don’t have an account, they transferred me to a fellow employee who posed as a representative with my bank and asked for my billing address.
After running a “security check,” the first scammer hung up on me, so I started from scratch using a different identity. The 2nd scammer immediately proceeded with the “security check” and asked if I registered a PayPal account last week.
The scammer then claimed that this “new PayPal account” was accessed from Ohio, Texas, New Jersey and California and registered under your name and multiple bank accounts before transferring your call to a fellow employee posing as “your local fraud prevention team.”
I was transferred to a femchode, “Kris,” who asked for my phone number and ran a separate “security scan” on my nonexistent account. “Kris” found two additional “fraudulent/illegal transactions” on your account: $1,000 for illegal gambling on BetOnline and $5,000 FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHY ON PORNHUB.
“Kris” then transferred me to her “senior accountant,” “Mike Wilson,” who thought a Stamford, CT ZIP code belonged to South America. I was then asked to go to my local branch to withdraw $6,000 for an “alternative dispute resolutions” with the “Federal Court House” and the “Federal Trade Commission.”
