Just finished chatting with Venmo customer service about a fraudulent transaction.
Pm’d the seller here on VAF about his headset that is for sale. At about the same time I got PMs from the real seller and someone posing as the seller. Thought they were from same and sounded legit. I asked for photos and was sent pics of headset on some type of dinner table. Asked about hours used and when purchased and all answers seemed logical. Sent Venmo $ to email address and was told I’d get a tracking number when shipped.
Thought all was good until REAL seller sent me his photos then I realized what had happened and how I was duped by fake seller. I’m in dispute phase with Venmo now, but nothing can happen until $ post out of my acct. It’s not a ton of $, but frustrating to say the least.
First time I’ve been taken on this site. So just be forewarned the scammers are still out there and they are crafty suckers.
