Description

I was trying to sell my paddleboard. They gave a number to my wife and it was an Alabama number. I asked where he was located and he asked if he could send his nephew to get the paddleboard, but only gave me the first name of his nephew. He said I could send my Venmo ID, he asked for my email address and I gave it to him. He said he just sent the money and gave me his ID number 36206782079376492. I responded that I didn't get the money so I asked him for his Venmo ID and he didn't give it. It was pending because he sent it from a business to my personal Venmo account. I got an email notification in my Spam asking did I receive the send. I found it in my Spam email and it said that the account was above my limit with them. It said to deposit an additional $500 and they would pay me back. It gave me a customer service number which is 1-951-209-7275. I told him I would contact customer service and they were trying to get me to push a link or call. This is when I thought it was a scam. I Googled the customer service number and this was not the number. I reported it to BBB.
