Description
I attempted to sell my kitchen table to a customer on Facebook Marketplace. The customer requested to pay me through Zelle. After customer said she paid me I received an email from Zelle that the payment was on hold and I had to call the phone number listed on the email. I called the number because I was not aware of Zelle scams and I thought it was a trusted company because Bank of America uses it. The man on the phone kept asking me to send money to different phone numbers, email or a wire through my bank to verify my account to receive her payment. My bank was able to block all but a $2,001 Apple Cash payment and a $1,000 Zelle payment. I have a fraud claim through the bank and Zelle.
