Complaint:
My Venmo account was randomly frozen ( I still dont know whyno one will tell me ). In the years Ive used Venmo, Ive never had an issue, no payments returned, my credit card is in good standing, etc, nothing out of order. 

My last transaction was when my neighbor reimbursed me the {$200.00} I paid for our blocks bulk order of garden mulch, which comes together in one truckload, thereby avoiding a delivery fee. Suddenly my account was frozen for suspicious activity with no explanation??? Is there a problem with mulch? I even offered to send a copy of the receipt for the mulch. 

Spent hours on useless calls to reach VENMO support, always on hold, then disconnected. When I finally got through after holdin for 45 mins, they said they couldnt help me, some other team would email me. After approx 10 days, I received a highly suspicious email telling me to send a selfie photo holding my state issue ID, to a strange link in the email to unfreeze my acct?? What the heck?!?

Every GOVT Fraud Alert site says to beware of these types of scam attempts such as asking for a selfie with an ID. This is a flag for fraud & they advise NEVER to send a selfie to verify anything. Banks do NOT request selfies to verify an account, plus my bank & credit card already verified my identity. 

So, I choose to be safe & follow the XXXX, CFPB & FTC advice but my Venmo acct remains frozen & Ive given up waiting for help. If internet companies want to act like banks, they should be subject to the same rules as banks so Im writing to you.

One thing we older folks have time to do, is write a complaint when something is suspicious or will lead to more fraud. 

Please and thank you in advance, for your prompt response to this email.
