So while it’s likely a scam I am confused by everyone saying they will cancel the charge because I have actually venmoed the wrong person before (twice actually once a stranger with a similar name and once my cousins account she can’t access anymore) and when I contacted support for venmo they told me there is no way to cancel or rescind the transaction and the people would have to venmo me back. The stranger did (which was nice and unexpected) and my cousin obviously can’t since she can’t get into that account so that money is just lost essentially.

How would this scam work since the sender cannot cancel the transaction?

She tried but they wouldn’t do it because she doesn’t have access to the email linked to it anymore, I dunno it was only $20 so I didn’t micromanage it lol, my take away was just that venmo couldn’t refund/cancel The charge

Interesting. The same thing happened to me with Cash App. My mom sent money to the wrong person. But we contacted their customer service and the DID cancel her transaction. Good reason to use Cash App I guess.
