Consumer Narrative
I was trying to sell a computer via XXXX XXXX place and was contacted by a potential buyer. They wanted to use Zelle to transfer money which I was fine with considering I've used it many times before. They pretended to send me {$900.00} but a " business credit limit '' required {$1500.00} on their end to be sent and I'd have to send back {$600.00}. They had emails send out that replicated Zelle and it tricked me into sending them {$600.00} in two {$300.00} payments.
