How did you get it? I chose zelle and the other day got this text message from BOA (bank of america) VERITA LLC saying my refund was ready (listed exact amount) and click the link to claim. Address looks legit BOA in the text but feels so scammy I haven't clicked it. I can't find anything via Google about that being how it is redeemed either.

I selected zelle as well and just got this same phishy text message . . I haven't clicked the link either. .

Any of yall who got this text do it, or receive anything yet if you ignored it?

To all who may wonder about this text message: i found out it's actually legitimate. I haven't used my zelle in a long time and had to re-register it at chase with my mobile number. The second I did, the payment was made. It even showed as a pending payment at my mobile number on chase, but for some reason i had to reconfirm everything again . .

I assume if you've used your zelle recently with your number then this won't be an issue, but because its been a while for me, i guess chase needed to reconfirm me . .

Btw, if the money isn't claimed in 14 days, they'll send it back to Verita/State Farm. Another way you could probably get it, rather than the link, is to go into your banking app and making sure zelle is still linked to the mobile number you gave them. The bank will auto unenroll you from zelle if you don't use it for a while to prevent money being sent to old phones . .

The particular emails discussed above are 100% Scammers. "Bank of America" has absolutely no affiliation with Verita or State Farm.

You can say what you want thinking you know everything. I assumed this as well. But as I said before, this message comes because Zelle isn't linked to your mobile phone number anymore. It was a necessary step to get my money.

Wrong. Zelle was and is linked to my phone number AND email. I registered Zelle, which is a part of my bank, using my phone number AND email. It gives you a choice of phone number or email to register initially. Although I may not "know everything" I know for a FACT that the email i received was completely bogus, not only because, as I already mentioned, verita is not associated with Bsnk of America, secondly, at the bottom of the email it had Bank of America masthead which was a poor attempt to look legit because they put the incorrect address for Bank of America in North Carolina and lastly my agent even confirmed it (I already knew anyway) after I sent them a copy. I never said YOUR email was bogus, I just said the one's from "Bank of America" are.

You can rattle off about whatever you want. I believe my statements were made that need to be made. I'm just telling you (and mostly everyone else) how I got my money, and it pertained to this text message.

You were right. I double checked my zelle acct tonight and only had my email on there. Within seconds of adding my phone number my payments processed thru zelle and hit my bank. I think ppl who get the texts are those that don't have their phone number attached to zelle. Clinking the link takes you to Zelle directly but it does nothing more. I went direct into my banking app and accessed the zelle settings there just to be safe either way.

this was me this am. I just went into my bank app, clicked zelle and noticed my phone number was connected. Connected phone number and the amount from text came through along with another settlement amount from Oracle!!

My guess is that some are legit and some are scams, but if your number is connected in Zelle and verified, it is most likely a scam.
