You have to transfer the funds to your bank. Venmo does not tell you this. There are no instant funds.

I figured as much. So if OP transfers to his bank then shuts down his Venmo, his bank is going to get a call from Venmo in a few days saying OP owes Venmo $250, correct?

Unsure to both above. Someone else commented a similar story of 3 payments being made to them and it is still sitting in their Venmo. I don’t want this to be transferred to my bank. I am raising an incident report with Venmo about this scam.
