Venmo does not guarantee refunds for scams because it is designed for transactions between trusted individuals. However, you can take the following steps if you were scammed:
What to Do If You’re Scammed on Venmo
- Cancel the Payment (If Possible) – If the recipient hasn’t accepted the payment yet, you might be able to cancel it.
- Request a Refund – Politely ask the recipient to return the money.
- Report the Scam to Venmo – Go to Settings → Get Help → Contact Us → Report a Scam and provide details.
- Contact Your Bank or Card Issuer – If you used a linked credit/debit card, you may be able to dispute the charge.
- Report to Authorities – File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or local law enforcement if needed.
Venmo Purchase Protection
If you paid through Venmo’s "Goods and Services" option, you may be eligible for purchase protection, allowing you to dispute fraudulent transactions.
For personal payments, Venmo does not offer buyer protection, so always verify recipients before sending money.
