Venmo Scam Alert: What To Do When a Stranger Pays You
A scam warning is circulating about strangers sending unexpected Venmo payments. The advice: do not spend the money or send it back, as the payment may be made with a stolen card and later reversed, leaving you out of pocket. Users are urged to report the transaction to Venmo and let the company handle it instead of refunding the sender directly.
Why now: Payment app scams targeting unsuspecting users are a growing concern, prompting renewed warnings.
