I placed an ad on Facebook Marketplace to sell a sofa for $500. Received response saying they would pay me through Venmo so I gave my Venmo account name. I then received the following email that looked like it was from Venmo:

You have a pending payment of $500.We should be crediting your account now but we noticed the status of your Venmo account has been limited and not a business account, so it cannot be credited. An email has been sent to the buyer as well regarding the transaction, we need you to contact the buyer to send the additional in amount of $300.00 to your Venmo account so it can be expanded and change to a business account and you will be credited immediately with $800.00 into your account.

I sent money to what I thought was Venmo. I then received another email similar to that one with more money I had to pay in order to receive the $500 for the sofa plus reimbursement. At the time I had a lot on my plate so it took $2000 to realize I had been scammed.

My intent was to download the Venmo app to send money to a friend. They were pretending to be Venmo.

On my visa account it said Purple-Deep.com. My bank has closed my visa. They knew it was fraud after 2 transactions.

Even though my account is closed they have made 3 more attempts of $49.95 each.

I would like to make a report on fraudulent activity from a company called venmo. So on June 6, 2022 I had sent a payment of $550 from my Chase online banking account to my girlfriend's Wells Fargo account via the Zelle platform. Two weeks later starting on June 21, 2022 I had received several calls from an automated caller claimimg to be from venmo saying that I had possibly made fraudulent transfer to someone named John Kramer for the exact same dollar amount that I had sent to my girlfriend two weeks prior. I would really like to find out if venmo is illegally obtaining this information or is someone outright selling off my personal information without my consent because it is too much of a coincidence that I get a call amount a fraudulent transfer in the exact dollar amount as my legitimate transfer made two weeks prior. I would also like to know about my legal options regarding this matter.

Dude you know that Venmo transactions are not private unless you specifically go through the app settings and TURN OFF the setting that makes your transaction viewable to others. Many people fail to notice this, Even people in government positions have gotten themselves in trouble, not realizing that Venmo was broadcasting how much money they had been sending to escorts and exotic dancers. Turn this off in the settings or delete Venmo

None of my money or personal information was stolen, but I still want to raise awareness of this scam.

I received a text message from a phone number with a Georgia area code stating, "Venmo User: You have been selected to receive a free gift worth at least $100 for a 2 minute survey (link) ruggedtzheavek.com/2WaJOoH. I did not click on the link as it's a phishing attempt and deleted the message after taking a screenshot.
