Doris Roof, Senior Fraud Specialist from Montecito Bank & Trust, warns listeners to only use Zelle to pay people you know! Scammers are pretending to be from companies who are requesting payments through Zelle. Don't fall for it! A legitimate company will not request a payment through Zelle. The scammers are talking people into letting them access their computers remotely, pretending that they want to help them set up a Zelle account to make an instant payment. Once the money has been sent through Zelle, there is very little chance that it can be recovered! Call Deputy District Attorney Vicki Johnson on the Santa Barbara County Fraud Hotline at 805-568-2442, to report a scam.
