Description

I received a message on Itsy stating I had to verify my account before I could sell anything. I looked at the bottom of the website and saw a number to call Itsy (18449353879) so i did. The guy told me I had to do a few fake transactions to verify my account. He had me transfer money from my PayPal to my account through AnyDesk com. Then he had me open a Zelle account and make transfers to two people. I felt I was being scammed but he assured me this was a security check and my money was safe. I then transfered money to two accounts on Zelle app to a Cynthia guitron and Rodney Derryberry. I have their contact info. So all together they attempted to steal more but he called me poor and hung up on me. I will contact my bank tomorrow to dispute charges. Fyi both numbers I called no longer work.
