Bank Customers Warned As Scammers Drain Over $100,000 From Accounts – Police Say Zelle, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, US Bank and Bitcoin Targeted

Police are warning about a surge in scams that have drained more than $100,000 from bank customers in one month in a single US city.

Authorities in Oregon say scammers are using sophisticated tactics, including fake calls and emails to trick victims into losing their money, reports Central Oregon Daily

Police in the city of Bend say 243 fraud attempts have already been reported in 2025, with 20 victims losing $107,905 in July.

One victim, deceived by a fake Wells Fargo call about a supposed account issue, was driven by Uber to withdraw $12,000 and deposit it into unknown JPMorgan Chase accounts.

Another victim, alerted to a supposed Zelle account hack by a fake U.S. Bank caller, was tricked into buying $3,500 in MoneyPak Green Dot cards and sharing the codes.

A third scam started with a fake eBay purchase email, leading the victim to deposit $32,000 into a Bitcoin ATM while the scammer hijacked their computer and accounts.

Police say scammers impersonate banks or officials, rushing victims to act, and legitimate lenders never demand money by phone or email, or push customers to make cash transfers.
