I would definitely report this information to the law enforcement in the Virginia town where the address was provided. Many of these thieving scum get lazy and use the same information over and over. If the municipality where the address is located has a small law enforcement agency, it might be advised to also contact the county or parish or other law enforcement agency in that area who may have the resources to have a full time financial fraud investigator. It can't hurt to ask.
Also, the thieves have to have links to a legitimate bank account to receive the Zelle payment and every bank transfer of funds leaves a trail. I wouldn't be a bit surprised that the people involved have ties to the Virginia town. People use what they know. There is a reason for the selection of that Virginia town, etc. I doubt very much it was random.
There is a sad truth to these types of fraud which everyone needs to be aware of. First, the majority of the thefts and scams are rarely reported beyond an initial complaint to the financial institution. When people don't get any response to their complaints which resolves anything, most simply move along.
Also, most people who are victims of all types of fraud are reluctant to let others know because of the potential embarrassment, etc. Some older people are concerned their families will use this as a reason to gain control of their resources to "protect them" from others and sadly, in some cases, this is when the real stealing from the victim begins from those who claim to be "watching out for them."
Another sad reality is that over 70% of people who are victimized in a financial fraud will be victimized yet again during their lifetime in another financial fraud. There is something in one's personality which is attracted to "the really great deal" and this is precisely what the scammers play upon. In fact, there are lists of reported victims which are sold to scammers, because they often tend to fall for this type of fraudulent activity again, at an alarming rate.
Those who exploit the vulnerability of others sell this information to one another, so those who have been victimized often are contacted soon after the first theft, by the same or other scum in another attempt to defraud them, so be alert. Often, this is done by the scammers posing as "Recovery Agents" or even as Law enforcement, attempting to "recover previously stolen funds". Now they are exploiting the desire for revenge and this is one manner in how the 70% of those victimized are taken yet again.
Just as we are talking about this on this forum, there will be someone searching for a discussion about being a victim of financial fraud and their online information will be noted by those who conduct this type of nefarious activity. It's a jungle out there.
When you use Zelle and any of the other "nearly instant methods" of electronic funds payments like Venmo and others and send someone money, it's in their account within minutes and in some cases, seconds. It's the electronic equivalent of handing someone cash from a security standpoint. Once the funds have been handed off, they are gone. Such services are usually pretty clear that their money transfer method provides no recourse or recovery and should only be used with those people you know well and trust.
Perhaps there should be a minimum number of posts on GTT required before they can post in the Swap meet or even Conversation with someone. I will say I have had three GTT members just in the last few months, with very low post counts (in fact 0 posts with at least one member) send me conversations and end up buying items from me. Maybe it should be a minimum length of time as a GTT member before being able to post in the Swap meet section. I will leave that to the brain trust who knows far more about the system operations than I ever care to.
Bottom line is be vigilant and when it looks too good to be true, well, it usually is. And don't let one's desire for vengeance turn them into a victim, yet again.
