[QUOTE="ace71499, post: 24579841, member: 56712"]Well, I can't say I wasn't warned! Unfortunately, I was scammed. Zelle payment that can't be reversed. Totally my fault. It's funny, I did a reverse image search on the photos to see if the "seller" was stealing them from somewhere else... and nothing popped up. So I thought it was okay. HOWEVER, hindsight 20/20... I googled his username and there was a reddit post about him being a scammer. I went to advanced on my research clearly. Also, if you do an advanced image search, I guess it doesn't search instagram (just an FYI for anyone who uses that tool. Lesson learned, I guess! Doesn't feel great, but there's always next time. Luckily, I will still be able to eat tomorrow without that money lol. Thank you all for your advice in this matter. At least the coins were legit ;) Also - for anyone who doesn't know, Zelle is treated like cash and CAN NOT be reversed. Please be weary. I watch a lot of content on people who go after those scam call centers that target old people, and sometimes I ask myself how does anyone fall for this? But clearly, no one is immune, I'm 23 and up on technology and I still fell for it. Oh well.[/QUOTE]
