Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
Venmo scam buyer reversed payment. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.
The amount being held/disputed is approximately $11,180. I have tried contacting their legal department 10 times with no resolution.
Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?
I went through almost the exact same thing.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.
I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
