WATCH: Protect Yourself: Zelle Payment App Fraud on the Rise and Banks May Not Help

[KCRA|VIDEO] “My wife got a phone call from US Bank that appeared on her phone.

She answered, and they identified themselves as a U.S. Bank representative and that they believe there was fraud happening on our account,” Henry told KCRA 3 Investigates’ Brittany Johnson.

After the scammers said there was a problem with a recent transaction, they asked Henry’s wife for their personal information in order to stop the fraud and put the money back into their account.

According to Henry, the number and information on the caller ID showed up as U.S. Bank, which is why his wife thought the person was “protecting” them from fraud, and “obliged and went through the process,” without thinking much of it.

It wasn’t until later that the husband and wife realized they were scammed out of $3,500. [FULLSTORY]
