My name is Zion Rodriguez and I never thought it would happen to me. A scammer posing as a Wells Fargo rep convinced me to transfer every dollar I had — money I worked hard for through my job and scholarships. In minutes, my rent and living expenses for the next few months were gone.

I’ve set up a GoFundMe to help me get back on my feet. Any amount — big or small — means more than you know. If you can’t donate, thank you for simply hearing my story. Please, protect yourself. No real bank will ever ask you to transfer all your money.
