Con artists are defrading Bank of America and US Bank customers using the money transfer service, Zelle (Early Warning Services, LLC d/b/a Zelle) to defraud consumers out of thousands of dollars. Are you a victim?
Zelle is America’s most widely used peer-to-peer money transfer service and is a free-to-sign-up-for app that was created by seven of America’s largest banks. Banks are allegedly aware of the scam but aren’t taking actions to protect their customers.
Zelle was designed to allow its users to transfer money directly from their bank accounts to other registered Zelle users and is marketed as a fast, safe, and easy way to send and receive money. Hear from a victim here.
Keller Rohrback lawsuits allege that the immediacy of Zelle’s service has made it a favorite among criminals “who can access bank accounts directly, unlike with similar P2P platforms,” then scare or trick victims into sending their money directly to the criminals’ accounts. Once the scam is perpetrated, victims are finding that they have no way to receive a refund from either Zelle, or their bank. Zelle’s conduct is the subject of Senate investigation.
