A Reddit user is concerned after receiving an email stating they were overpaid at work, method of repayment via Zelle raising suspicions. The user identified a discrepancy between their bank and Paychex records regarding payment amounts. To ensure the request's legitimacy, they should consult HR and avoid sending money based on email requests, which can often be scams. Employers typically have formal processes in place for overpayments, therefore confirming the email's authenticity is crucial before proceeding with any repayments.
Most companies are not going to ask for a Zelle payment via email if they double-paid a worker. If the overpayment was accidental, they'd likely be able to recover it themselves based on the terms of their direct deposit agreement.
The first and most important thing that the poster needs to do is to make sure that this request for money is actually a legitimate one that came from his real employer.
