The guy is a known scammer and he roams all kinds of websites looking for victims. He has a disposable cellular number under 662-276-1307. That puts him in the Jackson, Mississippi area.

Contact Zelle and let them know that this person is a scammer and that he is using Zelle for interstate criminal theft and activities; a federal offense. Also, that you will be filing a criminal report to the Attorney General's Office of your state and the FTC.

Now I feel bad. I dealt with this guy repeatedly when I posted looking for a Stocker, Super Stocker. He replied, he has the Super Stocker
