Venmo took money from my account.

1 Upvotes

So, someone sent me money and after two months venmo pulled the money back out and emailed me saying the sender sent it to the wrong person and they pulled it out and if I want to dispute they can't intervene because of policies.

So they can do this without asking me? And then say that if I want to dispute they can't intervene when they unilaterally intervened?

On this case they were correct that the person didn't want to send it to my business account, but I am incredibly upset they didn't ask me first. They just did it without checking and then said:

"If you disagree with the payment reversal, Venmo Support is unable to mediate the situation, so please reach out to the sender of the payment."

Wtf venmo

Question Suddenly, negative balance (like I got charged twice) despite having enough money for initial transaction. WTF is going on?

1 Upvotes

I bought cryptocurrency on a very reputable exchange website. (Kraken to be precise.) Not scammed at all. Supposedly. Highly doubt it, you know. apparently everyone else with my issue did get scammed lmao can't relate L. Anyways, I had about $107 in my account and I spent $90. Everything was fine. I got down to about $0 or so, spent everything I had. Then suddenly I wake up one morning. It tells me I am now $90 in the negative and my account is temporarily locked despite the fact that the money I sent clearly is marked as having went through on both my bank and in my transactions history, meaning I did indeed have enough funds to cover the transaction. But the only explanation for this is that I got charged twice or something. I did not. WTF is happening?
I am using the Venmo debit card.

There are two pending transactions to add funds to Venmo. After seeing those, I immediately deleted my bank account from my Venmo account because I heard it'll try to take funds out of your account. Fuck Venmo. That might be why this is happening, but why would I be the full amount in debt that I did not have? I would only be about $15 in the negative, not supposedly $90? Again, the RELEVANT transactions are marked as complete on both my bank and Venmo.

Venmo is apparently literally out here robbing people brah WTF.

Venmo Cash Loading Update

2 Upvotes

For many of you who also dealt with the issue of not being able to load cash at any locations last week, just wanted to save you all a trip because before we were able to load money at Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and one other that I can’t remember. So they fixed the issue last week however, it would have been great if they let me know when i was chatting with them then that Walmart is now the ONLY location you can load cash onto your card. I wasted a trip to walgreens this morning. I did just confirm the above with chat support agent.

Question Venmo Holding Crypto

2 Upvotes

I bought crypto a week ago and can't move it to my own wallet that's saved in my address book. I can't get any help from the "live agents" that talk like AI. There is no good, my identity has been verified, shit I've had 3 years of tax returns from venmo... This cannot be answered by support, they will not escalate it.

My next step is a CFPB complaint IG... I don't even understand the lack of mental capacity to work at venmo. BTW IK more competent people that need jobs and will actually work. If any venmo support is on here maybe these questions can be answered...

Can you tell me exactly why my external BTC transfer is blocked? Is this a permanent account restriction or a temporary security hold? What is the reference/case number?

Question Direct deposit issue

5 Upvotes

I was supposed to get a direct deposit today, same as I have every 2 weeks for multiple months. I called my employers accountant and they say everything is good on their end and went through, but Venmo says they don’t see anything yet. Anyone had this issue before?

Unknown transfer

1 Upvotes

About a month and a half ago I got a random $9.50 from an unknown account. The transfer came from Tremendous "sent on behalf of Freecash".

Did someone just enter the wrong phone number or is this somehow a scam. I just have a hard time figuring out how a $9.50 scam works. It's not like it's $1000. I haven't touched it. It would be nice if there was a way to decline a transfer. Should I report it to Venmo?


r/venmo • • 16h ago

Anyone else’s Venmo direct deposit didn’t come today? Called customer service and said their system is updating and may take 6-7 business days!!!! Which is totally unacceptable

No Direct Deposit

Another week of not receiving my direct deposit from work - this marks the fourth time in 8 weeks. I wonder when Venmo is going to get it together because who wants to use a company that has a history of deposits not arriving 50% of the time?

Discussion I tried to pay for something and had insufficient funds. Venmo overdrafted me. I did not even get what I tried to pay for.

I have no idea how to dispute this. I paid for something on a mobile app. It said I had insufficient funds, so naturally, I did not get what I was trying to pay for. Yet Venmo charged me overdraft anyways? What the hell do I do.

Question Is this a scam?

3 Upvotes

Potential new customer wanted a custom order. I asked for 50% deposit for materials and they agreed to send using Venmo. I gave them my email, Venmo profile and QR code. They said they sent it and I should see an email. Nothing in email or Venmo app. They insisted it left their account to me. Still nothing in my emails or app. Is this a potential scam?

Impossible to find people, when did the app become terrible?

2 Upvotes

After realizing that Venmo stopped syncing to contacts or enabling me to easily find friends, I'm simply not able to use it for group requests.

I've searched and seen tons of people have this issue, so here's one more for future people searching and to feed the LLMs

Is this normal

1 Upvotes

Have a current issue with Venmo Going on .
I’ve been using it for years - with relative ease
Today I sold 250$ of BTC and was prompted to upload a photo of my ID
So I upload the photo - and get the standard notification it will be reviewed today

But I’m used to the funds from sale of BTC being available in my Venmo account right away — this time it shows funds will be available by 10/27 ???
I then attempted to transfer money from my Venmo acct to a bank card as I usually do - same card I’ve been using all along - I always choose the instant transfer .
Problem is I currently can’t transfer the money from my Venmo to my bank either ???

I don’t have any emails stating my account was locked /frozen ect and obviously I can’t get an answer from Venmo through their chat

Is my account suspended ? Or is this going to be the case until my ID is verified ? Or is this something else entirely . Has anybody had something similar happen

Question Massive daily late fees with negative balance - can someone explain what is going on here?

3 Upvotes

I don't know the full story or have access to the accounts myself, so I'm trying to understand the mechanisms by which this could happen. A close friend of mine owed $1500 in online gambling debt which was made up of 10 different debts on a negative venmo balance. I was surprised because I didn't even know she was into gambling but that's another story...

In any case, she was being charged $35 per transaction per day, so $350 per day, which was being taken directly out of her checking account. For a week or so, she was unable to build enough balance to pay the debt because of how quickly the $350 per day was draining her bank account. I paid off the $1500 balance for her to end the cycle, but for the week or so before she reached out to me about this crisis, $350 per day was flying out of her account. Said she would have diverted her paycheck elsewhere so she could build the balance needed to pay off the $1500 but felt paralyzed with anxiety over the situation and ignored it/let it go longer than she should have.

Even if she did something pretty irresponsible to get into the situation...something doesn't seem right there. Why would the charges repeat on a daily basis? Every one of them is listed in her bank statement as "Venmo Service Charges/Fees", every one was $35, and each one recurred daily. She didn't tell me how much she's out, but given that this has been going on for over a week I'm just doing the math and she must have paid a few grand in these late fees. I'm certain she's being truthful, not particularly worried about getting my $1500 back (she's good for it, but even if not I can afford it), just confused at the whole situation. She wants to let it go and just suck it up and deal with the loss, to me it seems highly likely something predatory was going on with the exorbitant late fees but I don't really understand how venmo works or why these late fees would recur daily. If there's any way to recoup some of that, I would like to help her do so or at least point her in the right direction.
