![]() And lets not forget the referral bonuses I’ve never gotten for the 6-7 people that I referred and they too were dumb enough to become customers with these &*$%s. I never got a phone call, no email, no nothing, just an empty account (no thanks to a different platform that thief suggested) I never would have had to sell it if Venmo wasn’t so freeze happy. I’ve already lost a $1000 phone and the guy that basically stole the phone called and had the money refunded, just like that that. ![]() Not to mention the bachelor’s degree that I busted my ass for in order to achieve my hopes and dreams, the thousands of dollars in student loans that I am struggling to pay off… And now I have no damn access to my money again. I am out the money that I put my time, energy, and integrity into earning. I have a business that I am trying run and a wife that is so ill that she can barely lift her head, so to add more stress to the matter by all means. I don’t have a ton of money in the account by the grace of God but this is absolutely insane. :)Īfter 9 months of a frozen account I received an email stating that my account was unfrozen so I logged in and I called customer service to update my phone number and not sooner of my identity being verified AGAIN and now my account is frozen yet again. Please keep in mind that the state of your account can be revised if your transaction history raises flags on our system in the future.Īlso, Angelina sounds like a good friend to have. To my surprise, it worked – my friend received this back:ĭue to this evidence, we have repealed your suspension and unfrozen your account. My Venmo handle is and below is a picture of Aileen and I in case that matters :) Venmo is a service that we use frequently between each other and I take full blame for my careless mistake. I can with 100% assure you that we were not exchanging services or intentionally trying to violate any terms of use. Aileen and I have been friends since 2009 and we have had several previous Venmo transactions between each other. I was trying to be funny and it was truly a mistake. I am relatively new to Venmo and I was unaware that the transactions were monitored, and I understand doing so keeps the community safe for all. I believe my silly description was the transfer that was flagged and I sincerely apologize. I am writing to kindly ask if you could reconsider my best friend -‘s Venmo suspension. ![]() What was even worse was the fact that she had a balance of $510 sitting in her Venmo account that she was not entirely sure she would ever see again! Of course, it was clearly a joke on my end, and I felt so terrible that my stupidity resulted in her locked account. I owed her some money, so I put “sexy time” or something along those lines in the description box, and a few hours later, my friend’s account was frozen under the reason that she was selling “professional services” (!!). Just recently, I experienced something similar when I was the cause of my best friend’s account suspension. Venmo immediately flagged the transaction under the assumption that she was illegally sending money to Cuba, but she was able to have her account unfrozen after a few calls and emails explaining that she really was paying a portion of an Airbnb stay. How do I know this? Well first of all, in one instance, a friend told me that her account became frozen when she used the description “Cuba” in a totally harmless way (she was sending her share of an Airbnb to the friend who made the original booking). Of course most of it is done to be funny and playful, but just a word of caution – be careful about what you put in the description, because it could result in someone having a frozen account. If you don’t already know, you can pretty much input whatever you want in the description box, and it’s funny seeing what other people are sending money for when I scroll through the Venmo public feed. I use Venmo between family and friends on a regular basis, and it has been a staple when it comes to instantly splitting costs and paying people back. I really enjoy that it’s seamless and fee-free when you link a checking account to the app.
