Report a Scam
For multiple payments you will need to complete multiple forms matching each payment amount to each payment ID.
A scam is when you knowingly send money but do not receive what you expected in return. For example, someone pretended to be another person or a business and tricked or persuaded you into sending the money, or promised that you would receive something in return that they did not provide. We will report the information you provide to the recipient’s bank or credit union to help prevent others from having the same experience. If you use the Zelle mobile application and believe you have been the victim of a scam, please complete the fields below.
It is important that you also report the transaction(s) to your bank or credit union if you have not done so already.
You may also report the user directly to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center at https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx.
Please Note: Do not use this form to report unauthorized transaction(s) that occurred due to account loss or theft. If you are enrolled with the Zelle® app and found an unauthorized transaction, please call us directly at 1-844-428-8542.
If you are enrolled in Zelle® directly through a participating bank or credit union, please reach out to their customer support team to report a scam
