I am managing a rental for my mom.

Renters moved in with a zelle payment that was deposited into our bank account and then 3 full days later it was returned for NSF and subsequently removed from our account. She was most apologetic and then tried to zelle again under the 'get me to pay her' scam. If I wasn't paying attention i would have send over 4k to her.
So beware of zelle !


Then the renter wrote a check from a previous boyfriends brother that was also returned for NSF. I call him and he said she does this from time to time with his old check book and he had shut the account down. Crazy!


Question - I have filed the eviction and have court date. I would also be willing to report her for check fraud. Who do you even report that to?

Zelle or PayPal?

It was zelle - I am not sure how it happened b/c zelle is supposed to be backed by money, but this renter made it happen.


Now i am playing the eviction game with her living rent free for a few months.

Another fun trick is for someone to send an earnest money deposit for significantly over the required amount and then "realize" the mistake and ask for the balance to be sent back to them. We had someone try to pull that in December. The indignation on the part of the scammer was fun to watch when title refused to send them anything. The check was fake anyway.
