Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

Venmo scam buyer reversed payment. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $23,785. I have tried contacting customer support 9 times with no resolution.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the EFTA. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct timely disputed.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
