Scammers often impersonate bank employees, tricking victims into "protecting" their accounts by transferring money via Zelle, or claiming they "accidentally" sent you money and asking for it back. Because P2P transfers are treated like cash, banks rarely issue refunds for these scams. Never send money to strangers.
Furthermore, "Check Washing" is rampant. Thieves steal mail from postal boxes, use chemicals to erase the payee and amount, and cash checks for thousands of dollars. Always pay online when possible, or drop checks directly inside a secure post office building.
