Description

I recieved a WHATSAPP text message supposedly from my cousin asking for $900 thru ZELLE for an emergency and he would send it back to me first thing in the morning. I called my cousin only to find out that several other family members had also received a similar text. I sent the scammer a text requesting the name and number I needed to send the ZELLE payment to and he replied immediately with : TAMARAEDISEMI BURUTU ph # 512-704-9574. The scammer also wanted me to send a confirmation receipt that the payment was sent.
