Hello,

I have been a spectator here for a while, but have never posted.  I am posting here for awareness and giving facts that I have given to my bank, local police, Venmo investigators, and Venmo customer service.

I was impressed with all contributors review of this service and it seemed a fit; we scheduled a meet for 9:30 at <address redacted>. I was told to park in the drive and text. He would bring me in.   House was dark except for the hallway with all doors shut and lights out.

I was curious.

Typical clothes here, face down, I'll give you a minute.

Arrives, typical feet. I'm writing quickly as I'm in queue with Venmo

 

He stops suddenly - says something is off.  He doesn't want to do it. I said I understand, I get it.  Begin dressing.

 

One major factor...after he comes back in, he wants me to pay prior.  I question the reasoning. He says "he does this in the evening as he's had people dodge and leave" ... I feel ok and I've seen reviews.  I said I'll Venmo the fee..tip you after..just be cool.  Then, as stated above, this happens. I only asked two questions about this...he repeated if for someone reason I get it, I'll send it back. I showed him my validation and transaction code. I said it's Friday evening, you can get your money, and here's proof. My checking won't show it posted until Monday morning. Which I saw five minutes ago.  I said show me your Venmo screen.  I had never seen this but it had a "HOLD" next to the amount. He said your account is flagged.  So, I can't move forward. I said there's ample money. I am leaving this will be resolved.  He texted me over and over "I'll return it".

My bank shows two $170 charges posted. Gone.  Venmo shows three.

I was to wait for these details to finalize theft of service. I will call them last. Venmo, my bank, and the police are first.  I also reported to Rent Masseur leadership through this platform.  I was encouraged to follow up and remind persons that do not know, as I did not, that he is on their "watch list". I did not ask for details.

I do not know the man personally, and I will not judge him only under this action.  He knew what he was doing. I do not know the hold status or how you can release it or not or duplicate. My Venmo showed paid all weekend, and I know how weekend transactions are.  So, I filed all I could ..now I have the last bit of info. 

Use this as information for your protection; not retaliation.  Thank you.

#1 cash is king.

#2 never pay in advance.

This entire situation was avoidable.

If you’re a regular here, you knew that.

This one is on you. Live and learn.

Got it.  and I know.  But, he f'd me over, so I get mine back.  and someone else decides what to do with trash

Sounds like you work for him or something.  Careful of the company you keep.
