Thanks for posting. What's "wrong" with Zelle? I thought Zelle is made by the megabanks (i.e., real/safe), but it's like a wire where there are no take backs (safe for the seller). Is that it (no buyer protections)?

(I'm just trying to keep up over here...)

That's exactly why.

Paypal or nothing.

I don't know who the alleged scammer is, but asking for payment via zelle does not turn you into a scammer.

One can ask payment in whatever they want. If the buyer doesn't know the seller, then they should always ask for paypal G&S.

Trying to see where the scam is. All he did was request Zelle. You can always negotiate payment through other platforms, as others mentioned, and prefer PayPal G&S.

Hats off to the newbie.

Spotted a scam rhat OG Members could not.

All it takes is 15 seconds to Google the phone number in the OP which returns a number of Bimmerpost Classifieds who have fallen victim as well as a Corvette forum.

And people wonder how people fall for scams.

Good job newbie.
