Consumer Narrative
I listed an item on XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/22. A buyer ( XXXX XXXX ) offered to buy XXXX items for {$800.00}. He tried to zelle me. He sent me a screenshot of the zelle. I then received an email saying that I needed to upgrade my zelle account in order to receive the payment. I had to send him {$500.00} and then I would receive my money. Once I did this, I got a fake email claiming to be zelle. It is then I realized it was a scam. I asked the sender for the money back and he refused.
