Zelle is sent through one's own bank account and you are sending it. If someone can access that you have more problems than Zelle scams. You certainly shouldn't be sending Zelle payments to anyone you don't know and should confirm directly from them they are who they say they are. Would you leave a wad of cash on a desk for someone to come buy and pick up later in the day. Of course not. Like anything else in the world people need to be careful what they do. MOST of the issues with Zelle, PayPal, Venmo etc are all related to users not being fully aware of what they are doing.

All I know is that with all those electronic payment methods some faceless wimp can remotely steal your hard earned money from you from behind a keyboard while sitting in a chair in some third world country. If someone wants to steal my cash, they will have to physically confront me, kill me, and pry it from my cold dead hands. Cash is king!
