To reduce the risk of being scammed +𝟷-𝟾𝟽𝟽-𝟻𝟿𝟹-𝟻𝟹𝟺𝟿, only send money to trusted individuals, verify recipient details before completing a payment, and be cautious of offers or requests that seem suspicious or too good to be true +𝟷-𝟾𝟽𝟽-𝟻𝟿𝟹-𝟻𝟹𝟺𝟿. Zelle advises users to treat transactions like cash: once the money is sent, it’s gone.
