Got a text saying my Zelle had been used for an unauthorized transfer. Called the number. They walked me through 'reversing the transfer' which actually authorized one out of my account.

Zelle reversal

How this scam type works

From our Phishing & Smishing guide.

  1. The hook. A text, email, or call claiming to be your bank, the post office, a tax authority, or a subscription service.
  2. The urgency. 'Your account will be closed', 'package held at customs', 'unauthorized charge'. You have hours, not days.
  3. The clone. A link to a page that looks identical to the real site but lives on a lookalike domain (amazn.com, paypaI.com, etc.).
  4. The credential harvest. You log in. They capture everything — including your 2FA code in real time.
  5. The drain. Within minutes, funds are moved, accounts locked, or personal data sold on.
