Reader’s Digest: 8 Common Zelle Scams to Watch Out For

An excerpt from Reader’s Digest‘ article, “8 Common Zelle Scams to Watch Out For” with comments from Phosphorus Chief Security Officer Brian Contos

Zelle is a P2P (peer-to-peer) system that allows you to send money quickly and conveniently from your credit card or bank account, only requiring you to enter the recipient’s phone number or email address. Zelle was created in 2017 by the company Early Warning Services (EWS), which is owned by seven of the biggest banks in the United States, including Bank of America and Capital One.
