Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Early Warning Services, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was tricked into sending money using Zelle. Two different amounts to two different accounts. Probably wouldve kept going if I didnt finally figure it out. The amounts were {$200.00} and then {$250.00}. It all happened the evening of Sunday, XX/XX/2022. I immediately called my credit Union ( XXXX XXXX ), and was only able to leave a voicemail. The next morning ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I went directly into my local branch to report the scam. I provided screenshots of the conversation with the thief, and the email exchange I had with the fake Zelle agent ( s ). Basically the scam went like this : I was selling an item on XXXX XXXX. An interested party inquired about it, and wanted to immediately send me money for it. I was selling my item for {$240.00}. I then received an email that looked like it was from a Zelle agent, saying that someone was trying to send me {$240.00} but that I was not allowed to receive more than {$200.00} without a business account. So in order to upgrade my account to a business account, I had to send the Zelle agent {$200.00}. I did that and then there was some kind of refundable deposit I needed to fund my new business account. Yes I feel dumb now, but he got me to send another {$250.00}. And since the total of the second fee he was trying to get me to pay was {$500.00} ( {$250.00} that night and {$250.00} the next morning ). I started getting suspicious. I then XXXX zelle sending limits, and saw {$500.00} not {$200.00}. Also the XXXX XXXX of the person was somewhere in XXXX. Anyway, I reported to my credit union promptly, and reported it to Zelle on their website. Havent reported it to the FBI cyber crimes site yet, although I tried once, but the site wasnt working. Is there any way to get my money back or track these thieves down? My bank just said the other party denied my claims for the 2 amounts. So now Im coming here for help. Please let me know if you need my screen shots and the fraudulent Zelle agent emails.

On XX/XX/XXXX I got a letter in the mail stating they were closing my account due to returned payments, however I was not notified prior to them closing my account, nor does it state anything in their terms and agreements about returned payments would result in Capital One closing your account. How can one take it upon themselves to close a customers account without notifying the customer or speaking with the customer.
