As you can see, she is offering Zelle in exchange for btc, for which I contacted by telegram to exchange $215, which I sent my details for the payment since she offered to go first, supposedly she makes the payment and I asked her to capture it to verify, which gives me a capture of the supposed $215 and the step never arrived and I checked my email that the zelle notification had arrived but beware the scam is that she sends you the email from zelle, supposedly the legal thing is that zelle sends you the payment notification with your own server

My intention was to help her but luckily I wasn't scammed, I'm just posting scam alerts here

Good day

Luckily you are not scammed. But I can not understand one thing that you have been inactive since April 02, 2020, and suddenly you came today and going to make a deal with a newbie. Also, I can not understand you already made 27 posts today after a long inactivity

btw it's another way of making scams. Maybe not a new way but you all should be aware of it. And OP please also try to share the chat between you and jl33213 so that we can tag him.

What you guys mentioned makes me not feel comfortable about the @OP. Can he answer? Also, he did not attach any Chat Logs with the other person, but from the screenshot that he put, it seems that the other person sent him a fake message for Zelle payments. It is good that he paid attention to the sender's email address, which is not Zelle's official Email. Whoever wants to carry out any financial transaction and guarantee his right, I advise him to do it with people of good reputation and rank in this forum, through central exchange platforms that allow the P2P feature, or through LocalBitcoins.

Quoting the picture here


I don't know how Payzelle works but this is an idiot way to scam of course you will need to verify first if the funds really arrive so you can confirm and check not because I received an edited screenshot of the payment  I will just send my fund right away and I agree no online financial platform will send you a notification through a Gmail, it's warning sign and I commend you for checking out details, jl33213 deserved a tag, we never know if some careless guy will fall to this trick.

I understand what you mean, and it does seem like the OP's actions and requests are suspicious. The question is whether the story is even true and what his real motives are. It is always best to be cautious and protect ourselves from potential scams, but we should also avoid jumping to conclusions and accusing someone of scamming without solid evidence. I do not think there is solid evidence here that the OP was really the victim.

100% agreed.
He wants to "help" the other person but yet on the same day he is looking a for a loan, makes total sense.
If he actually got the 220$ then we would see the accused making an accusation against OP.
