It's an internet issue. There's tons of stories of taking zelle scams. Since the Internet, the notorious payments to Nigerians have been a mainstay for instance. There's a ledger for crypto, you can see any address openly.

There's 1.3 billion robbed, per the article, but the headline of 400M crypto gets you. There's so many zelle, Venmo, WU scams it's unbelievable. There's a story of a notorious IG fraudster, hushpuppi, who created fake BoA, HSBC, other bank sites with a missing character or something. And tracked people's log in info, then did it on the real site and laundered over $60 million. There's also a story, tried to find it but couldn't on a quick search, of someone getting a message from their daughter on Venmo (similar name), same phot saying forgot wallet at home, an at grocery store got $40? Dad sent it. Wasn't his daughter, but the handle was eerily similar.

Here's just a quick search:

Could go on and on. If you don't see it as a digital issue, it's beyond you.
