Hypothetical question

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

Venmo scam buyer reversed payment. I've been dealing with this for about 7 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

What's the typical outcome in situations like this?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

Illustrative response

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.
