Fraudulent charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Every single time I end up with fraudulent charges on my Venmo account, which has been about a dozen times now, it makes me reset my password like eight times and it never works! So, now, I can’t get into my account or access their chat feature, which is useless anyway for reporting a dispute or fraudulent charges.

And their 24-hour phone number that's listed online is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, tells me to call back at 8 AM Central Standard Time, which is 9 AM on the East Coast where I am. This is unacceptable. PayPal and Venmo are *** poor at customer service and security.

Unacceptable. Bet, if I could give them zero stars, they would have -10.

Loss:
$80
Cons:
  • Customer service is nonexistent
  • False advertising
  • Waaaay too many fraudulent charges

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Go somewhere else with your business Cash App or Chime anywhere Venmo is not up to par where they should be this day & age

They charged me 43 cents on my account for a hotel that I did not even stay at, Then they turned around and took $75 out of my account from the same hotel ,that I did not stay at, and never stayed at,I filed a dispute; I spoke with 700 different people about this and no resolve they're only answer was to get me to verify my identity time and time and time and time again, They have since suspended my account, and they still have not given me back my $75 from the dispute. They suspended my account permanently !,for what reason I could not tell you, and are keeping my money, refusing to get back with me.

They told me that after 10 days, if they did not come to a decision, they would give me a provisional credit to my account. I have received nothing.!It's been over three weeks now, and they will not give me my money back.

Loss:
$75
Cons:
  • Are a nightmare in every aspect of the word

Preferred solution: Full refund

Are you claiming someone stole your information and used your account to book a room fraudulently or you booked the room and there was some issue with the booking?

I'm saying I stay at a hotel called La Quinta inn, the charge in question says La Quinta motor inns on my bank statement, which is their previous name but they don't use it anymore ,and it's very rare that name will show up on a bank statement. every other charge from this hotel is on my bank statement as La Quinta inn ,baton rouge ,luckily, the guy at the front desk had noticed this ,also I paid cash on the day in question ,my hotel front desk manager has already spoken with venmo and told them there was no charge to my card on the day in question , they have done nothing but suspend my account and tell me that they can no longer offer services to me, as if I had done something wrong. So the answer to your question is I'm saying somebody is in my account or venmo made a mistake.

Venmo no contact with real person all Ai directions fail

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Tried many times with Venmo bot to resolve the issue, just kept sending me in circles, and I have $2,501.00 in limbo. It may not be all of Venmo's fault, but now I'm facing eviction and much more.

I need those funds and recommend not to use Venmo. Sincerely, Lee Myers.

Loss:
$2501
Cons:
  • Ai failed to help went in circles

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: My recommendation is not to be a future coustmer .

Transferring money and a loss card

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Feb 03, 2026

I am new to this. It wasn’t ever about $40.

I called. I’ve written several times and no avail. I have my paycheck now coming into this for the first time and I need help because I pressed the instant button when I *** and no one can help me so I’m going to switch banks.

No one even bothered to call me back and they told me it would be 15 minutes. It’s been two days.

Original review Feb 02, 2026

I called someone from the company was supposed to call me back and I never got any response. I still have two unresolved issues. I was supposed to get a call back from a live person and speak with them and so far Im still waiting.

User's recommendation: I guess patience is a virtue, I’d love the company but at the moment I’m not getting any feedback or response
