What Is Zelle?

Zelle is one of the most used e-wallets which is user-friendly and easy to use. Sometimes, we need to block some users due to any reason. Usually, people get requests from unknown people and they claim that they need money and send them emotional messages, mostly these emotional messages are sent by frauds who want to extort money from strangers.

Nowadays it becomes very easy for these scammers to take advantage of people. They just send fake emotional messages and claim that they are from humble backgrounds and they need money for necessities including education and other needs. They send payment requests to unknown people and some of them even get scammed.

So it is always advisable to not send money to strangers even when they sound genuine. It is always a good option to block such people, especially when you haven’t met them in real life.
