All my online sales listings say cash only yet early on every other offer was a scammer wanting to pay me with Zelle and have their brother pickup the items. One time it even seemed kind of legit (and I was just curious) so I offered to send them a business payment request via Paypal but they insisted on Zelle. Since I never went through with one I'm left wondering, what is the scam? Had I agreed to take Zelle for my item could they send me the money, pickup the item and then reverse the payment? I kind of doubt that it's it though because these scams usually aren't about the item, but rather just the money. And that being the case if they sent me money and reversed it wouldn't they only get their own money back?I figured out the whole "send too large of a cashier's check and request a refund from it" scam but this Zelle one has me wondering. Any idea how they work these Zelle scams? There must be some Zelle policy or procedure that they exploit.</blockquote>
