Was wondering if anyone has procedures in place to monitor Zelle transactions and remove access on those misusing it. With the unemployment and other scams/money mule situations increasing we've been seeing an increase in people using Zelle to move the money. As far as Zelle is concerned if it's authorized there's not much that can be done as it's clearly stated in their rules however following Reg E, we need to investigate. Just curious what others are doing. So far just over the past 2 weeks we've seen Kitten scam where someone paid for kittens using Zelle, but never received the kittens and we've seen a customer being used as a money mule and now the person who sent her the money is saying it was done by mistake only $30 should have been sent not $300. The money mule person we noticed was suspicious because there were 5 Zelle transactions in one day going out to multiple people after a large ACH.
