Hey O bros, I need your help to assess a situation. (Admins if this is the wrong place for this thread please move it accordingly, made my best judgement)

I agreed to sell one of my PIET Dog Tags to @Dockery56. The buyer seemed chill so I said F it and went through with it, but the payment is throwing some major red flags. We settled on Zelle, but here is the timeline:

Red Flag 1 (Sunday): He sent the payment Sunday at 8pm EST. His screenshot (Pic 1) said I wouldn't get the money until Wednesday. Zelle is almost always instant, even for new contacts in my experience. The screenshot itself looks sus but gave it the benefit of the doubt.

Red Flag 2 (Wednesday): The money hit my bank today, but it just says 'PENDING CREDIT' (Pic 2). Every time I have ever received a Zelle payment, it actually says "ZELLE" in the line item (Pic 3 for reference/comparison shows a Zelle payment from my girlfriend to me).

I asked AI and it said it looks like a classic fake check/ACH scam, but AI can be biased, so I needed to triple-check with the community.

Obviously, I am not shipping a thing until the funds fully clear and I have a chance to call my bank to verify the origin. I believe in innocence until proven guilty, so please no hate toward Dockery56—I could just be paranoid and everything is legit. But has anyone seen this specific "pending credit" trick or dealt with him before?

(P.S. If it's a scam, there will be a PIET DOG TAG up for sale ).

Zelle has always been instant for me, but I know Zelle has security rules in place that is triggered if there is anything suspicious reported by the sender or receiver's bank. This could cause delay up to three business days.

I have not seen that. Doing a short search it looks like that is a common thing though. Some people are saying its due to the senders bank, others are saying its due to a prior issues.

I dont want to be this way but a payment from a guy named Jung Sun Park who's avatar is a picture of a classic Midwestern white dude would make me question though.

Just hold the item until all the money shows in your account. Zelle dosent offer any real buyer protection so if it goes in your account, your pretty safe.

lmaoooo the payment from “Jung Sun Park”was from my girlfriend (she’s Korean, South not North) .

i was just showing that screenshot to show the difference between what a Zelle payment usually looks like for me versus the payment i got from him which is the one that just says “PENDING CREDIT” on 4/22

You'll be fine man. We have had to be extra careful lately as scamming and fraud has gotten worse as the years go by. I have been here for years, sold innumerable items at this point, and have people still question or request to make g&s payments to me. Im good with that, id rather them feel safe about the transaction.
