An hour and a half on the phone with McAfee and they found a "log-me-in" link on my computer that had been installed when I clicked on the link. So, because the Zelle transaction came from my IP address TD bank has thus far denied the claim.
I don't think the bank is doing much to recover the funds. The TD Fraud department did tell me the persons name and the fact that the money went to Navy Federal Credit Union. Navy Federal won't talk to me about someone else's account.
Oh well, lesson learned. Maybe I should be thankful it was only $990.

Tilton, I havent heard of this embedded log-me-in link. Did you have Two Factor Authentication on your account and if so, does the link get around this somehow?
