Zelle® offers a safe and fast way to send and receive money. The peer-to-peer app makes it easy for users to pay someone else or receive money using their email address or phone number. But now, fraudsters are using it as a way to steal your money. Posing as utility company employees, the scammer will ask you to immediately send money to them using Zelle®. This is an attempt to convince you that providing immediate, direct payment is necessary to avoid a service delay. This is a scam. Only use Zelle® to send and receive money from people you know and trust.
Make sure to report any suspicious emails, calls, or text messages using our Fraudulent Message Reporting Form or contact us at 1-888-4WESCOM (1-888-493-7266) and press 2.
