[US] Chase Zelle Scam Please Beware

Hi everyone! I just wanted to make this post as a warning because I didn’t know about this before it happened to me. Just now I got a call from Chase, specifically the NY branch which is the closest to me. They spoofed the number to match this branch of Chase. He said that he was a guy from Chase and he wanted to talk to me about suspicious activity on my account with them. He said that there was a Zelle payment to a Jennifer in Tennessee for $1500. Mind you I don’t know any Jennifers or live near Tennessee.

He asked me some questions about the transaction like if I use Zelle and if I have connected to public Wifis recently. I answered them pretty honestly but I made sure not to give them any personal information outside of me not knowing this random name. Tbh I might have actually went along with it for longer except for 1 thing: I don’t have a Chase account.

I ended up cutting him off and asking him what account he was even talking about. I told him I don’t have an account at chase. He said that according to his records I do have an account with them. When I asked him for the account number, he said he wasn’t allowed to give that information over the phone. When I asked him for any other information about the account he hung up. I think he got nervous with me asking him questions and realized it wasn’t worth it. So please be careful! Thankfully I didn’t have a chase account otherwise he might’ve screwed me.
