Nothing wrong with Zelle. Fundamentally no different than Venmo or PayPal. That in itself wouldn't raise any red flags for me. Are they a new member?

I've heard Zelle was not all that safe compared to paypal.

As someone who worked in network security for a number of years, I can tell you Paypal has been hacked more times than Lizzie Borden's parents. Paypal has also been the victim of false hack claims, which resulted in users over-reacting and falling for scams which resulted in the loss of money.
Zelle has not been hacked, but many users have fallen for scams which have resulted in the loss of millions each year.

Due to the hype around this individual - who as far as I can tell, hasn't actually done anything - I went ahead and banned them.

We'll see if I get a response from them or they just go away.
