Scam Description
He said he was alerting me about two fraudulant charges on my checking account one from Walmart for 318.44 and a Zelle request for $1000. I told him I knew about them and the card had been shut down. The called said yes but I needed to Zelle $1000 back to the bank to correct the withdrawal. He tried to walk me through the steps and said to put “Deidra Hall” in the name line. When I refused he got desperate and said the money couldn’t be returned until I did it that way and kept insisting correcting it any other way would take 4-5 weeks before I would have the money to use again. I hung up on him. The caller ID said Fifth Third Bank and phone number was the bank customer service number, 800-972-3030. Reported this to the bank and the police Department
