> it doesn't really matter if you're being scammed via Zelle/Venmo, or via paper check, or via wire transfer, or via ACH.

It does, though. If scammers scam via paper check, wire transfer or ACH, the full force of the government comes down on them and they actually get put in jail if they get caught. If they scam via Zelle or Venmo, too bad, so sad.

No; Zelle and ACH are exactly the same from this point of view.

I wish you were right, but the linked article suggests otherwise.
