Actually, if you know how Venmo works, this isn’t factual. That’s maybe where Venmo is to blame in confusing people looking at these screenshots. The original amount doesn’t display “on hold” until a dispute is filed, then it will display next to the date of the original transaction. If you look at the dispute date of the original transaction, it is not until AFTER Turbbok got money back from his dispute of the transaction labeled “Refund”, labeled so to make me think he was refunding the original deposit. His dispute was filed the same day he sent it to me, so there is no way he would think that the original 200 was on hold at the time he filed a dispute. The screenshots posted with the dates of the disputes was the damning evidence (along with my multiple conversations with Venmo to confirm these facts).
When someone sends you Venmo, the money is available instantly. Which is why I was able to transfer it immediately to my bank. My account goes into default when his dispute is resolved and the money transferred to his account, another point which he damn well knows he has 200 bucks that shouldn’t be there. Regardless of how confusing Venmo display is, they had no part in his filing a dispute of his supposed refund. Venmo did nothing wrong other than make it difficult to detect his scheme. Ironically, it’s the very scam he accused me of trying to pull by not sending him money as “family and friends” which is not refundable. I believe he knew exactly what he was doing and wasn’t confused at all. One person’s experience doesn’t need to determine your hire, it’s just additional data to decide along with all the others. I got my money back, but I know it wouldn’t have happened without this website and people who support clients in holding escorts accountable and warning each other when things like this happened. I have stopped deposits all together, even when I fly guys into whatever city I’m in for the night. I think it’s too tempting for even the usually decent escort to make a quick buck and think there won’t be repercussions.
