Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I received a call from my friend, XXXX XXXX XXXX, saying he accidentally sent me money on Venmo and asked me to withdraw the money and send it back to him on XXXX. He then sent follow up texts, which I have attached. He had sent me {$1000.00} on Venmo. I withdrew {$1000.00} from Venmo, and it showed up in my XXXX XXXX checking account. He asked me to withdraw it immediately, which has a penalty and that is why the amount withdrawn is {$1000.00}. I then sent {$1000.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I did this because I have known him for years and know him to be a trusted friend. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from Venmo saying that the sender ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) had disputed the charge with his bank, saying he did not send me the Venmo on XX/XX/XXXX, a chargeback. The dispute amount was for a different amount than the initial transaction ( dispute amount was {$1000.00}, initial transaction was {$1000.00} ). I then contacted Venmo support to plead my case that XXXX XXXX had sent me the money on XX/XX/XXXX, per his text messages to me, and requested that I send it back through XXXX. I provided screenshots of our text messages. I provided screenshots of the {$1000.00} amount in my bank. And I provided screenshots of the XXXX transaction, where I sent him the {$1000.00} back. Venmo investigated the case. They did not side with me, even though I provided sufficient evidence that this individual had sent me the money and then requested it back. Venmo then made my account- {$1000.00} I spoke to several Venmo support staff who said they had in fact sided with me and my account would not be in the negative within a few months. At this point my account is still negative. I have tried to file a dispute again but they will not take it. I have attached all necessary attachments. Please let me know if I can provide additional attachments or information.
