[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 16060399, member: 40308"] i had some stuff listed on CL and some guy from way up in norcal contacted me and asked if i would take a venmo payment and ship the goods. i did some research on venmo and they specifically state that venmo is not for the sale of goods. therefore, they will do nothing to help someone out if scammed on a deal. they will point to their disclaimer. plenty of stories online about people being ripped off with venmo. even though i would be the person receiving the funds, it just sounded too risky. i wouldnt have done paypal either. not from some random person off the net. [b]people should never post their phone number publicly on a forum/FB[/b]. im amazed when i see people do this. too easy for just anyone to grab it and do stuff like this. make them go through the effort of sending you a PM and if they have no real posting history on here then proceed with extreme caution and ask yourself if the amount of $ involved is worth the risk? luckily you only lost $400 and not $4k. still sucks though and i hope you are able to recover your $. i would also contact your bank. they may be able to help you. we recently ordered stuff from a company that went under. we had multiple orders in and they were easily 6 months ago. paid with bank debit card. the bank was actually able to get us our money back. i thought it was gone since it was a debit card. granted, i dont know if the bank just ate the loss or actually was able to recover it but they gave us the credit for each and every transaction once they verified the company was no longer in business. so they [i]might [/i]be able to help you out. you may need to file a police report to substantiate it. this scammer may have just grabbed some svtp'ers name and pretended to be him. and even set up a venmo account with that username to support the scam.
