Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I received a XXXX ( XXXX  ) notification that a friend was selling items for her uncle on XXXX who was going into a XXXX home. XXXX of the items was for a generation ( this person actually had XXXX generators for sale ). I inquired about a truck as well as the generator. My husband was a hard no for the truck, but we were interested in a generator as we have been considering one. My friend was selling it for {$500.00}, but only needed a down payment of {$300.00} to reserve it. I thought that would be great. I sent a down payment of {$300.00} through Zelle and then the account more or less blocked me. 

It turns out my friend had no idea initially her account had been hacked and someone was impersonating her. She feel for phishing scam about a month ago and has been trying to reclaim her XXXX  account with no success. 

Someone basically was impersonating my friend and scamming people for money based on them purchasing these items. If you sue Zelle it is not protected under Regulation E. 

I immediately contacted my bank, XXXX the same day I sent the money because the scammer blocked me immediately upon receiving the money. 

Today my bank sent me a letter stating that based on their investigation I authorized the transaction ( which I did to someone I thought was my friend and not someone impersonating her ) and that due to that my dispute was denied. 

Zelle is horrible and should never be used. I also contacted XXXX to install report an impersonation which is impossible as you cant talk to a person. I then reported them for selling XXXX which my friend also would never do and XXXX said it did not go against their policies. There is no one I can call at FB to say here this is not my friend. She has also tried and has basically lost her account. 

Both XXXX  and Zelle are the XXXX. My advice get rid of both.
