They also have 5-6 different social media profiles on Facebook, all peppered with comments regarding the same issue. Being scammed.
The buyer agreed to paying $3,000 via Zelle. Upon receiving my Zelle ID (my email address), the buyer sent a screenshot of a Wells Fargo transaction for $3,000.00 (date was written as D/MM/YYYY 2/11/2022). The buyer advised me that the Zelle email would probably go into my junk folder (which it did). The email was from [email protected], with subject line "***ACCOUNT RESTRICTED DUE TO LIMIT. (my email address)"
Within the body of the first email, in red font, it is written "Transfer on hold..." followed by:
"We should be crediting your account now but we noticed the account has been limited and not a business account so it can’t be credited so we need you to contact the buyer to send in the amount of $500.00 USD to your Zelle account so it can be changed to a business account be credited immediately with $3,500.00 USD into your account**PLEASE NOTE**".
An additional email message was received from [email protected] with subject line, "***ADDITIONAL PAYMENT RECEIVED. (my email address)"
Within the body of the second email:
"Dear Customer,

At this point, the buyer sent me an email address ([email protected]) and name (.........). This information did not make sense, nor did the AOL domain name of the Zelle email address, nor did the buyer's unusual familiarity with the whole (fake) process of creating a Zelle business account by sending an additional $500. I called out the scam via text message and the buyer protested. I then sent the web link regarding the Zelle Facebook Marketplace scam (https://www.gobankingrates.com/banking/mobile/zelle-scams-facebook-marketplace/...⇄ and have not heard since from the scammer.
They told me they were affiliated with Saddleback Church & were Christians
They led me to believe I was getting a male puppy. After it got to 6:00pm they kept telling me the puppy “was mine” even sent me a picture of the transfer of ownership paperwork. Then they said it would be no later than 8:30 on Halloween night & on Tuesday, Nov 1st. (Yesterday) they said he would be at my house at 9am.
today i called the customer service line twice, they’re supposed to be open M-F 9-5. no one answered both times.
