Venmo Scam Alert: What To Do When a Stranger Pays You
Consumers are being warned about a Venmo scam in which strangers send unexpected payments. The scheme typically involves a fraudster overpaying or sending money by accident, then requesting a refund — often from a stolen card, leaving the victim out of pocket once the transaction is reversed. Advice circulating includes not returning unsolicited payments, contacting Venmo support directly, and letting the platform reverse the transaction itself.
Why now: Warnings about payment app scams spread quickly as more people use Venmo for everyday transfers.
