Consumers are being warned about a common Venmo scam in which a stranger sends an unexpected payment. Scammers typically follow up claiming the payment was accidental and ask for a refund, then reverse the original transaction using a stolen card, leaving the victim out of pocket. Advice includes not refunding unknown senders, letting Venmo handle disputes, and reporting suspicious activity directly through the app.
