Easy dude. You don't have to hang em because he supposedly made a mistake.

I normally don't do things like that however when it comes to someone potentially losing a few thousand dollars it kind of bothers me when someone gives speculative advice.

So you believe everything in the T&C’s that you posted?

I'm not saying they will do it, however the T&Cs clearly contradict the speculative advice given.

I highly doubt they have any legal right to keep your money pending as a punishment for taking advantage of them.

VS

Quote from: T&Cs

If you violate the Acceptable Use Policy then we may hold your funds up to 180 Days

Which means that you agreed to that so if they do do it there may not be much you can argue.

I also agreed to 2.5k fine per violation. There are a lot of things in T&C's that are never enforceable.

They may not be able to bill you the 2.5k, but what's stopping them from not releasing funds that they have?

Not much.

you may be able to dispute the money. Assuming it was payed on a cc the sender may have a shot.

HelpMe · « **Reply #147 on:** February 04, 2012, 08:07:35 PM »

Dispute won’t fly. You sent someone a payment. It was received and credited to their account.

Exactly, and that was my point in the beginning.

to keep a separation between myself and the payment account, my wife, I always pay venmo through my smartphone app and use the wifi on computer to log in for my wife and withdraw. Do I need to always keep my phone in 3g mode and off wifi even when I am not in the venmo app or since the app is on my phone I should disable the wifi for good (when I am home of course).

Yes - with a different email address, SMS phone number, and bank account. Same name though.

I have not tried using the same CC. The reason is that I've primarily been using prepaids.

Smart. Care to spoon feed? Where were you getting them from and on which card etc.?

Also from what I've seen it seems that there is a max of 3 CC that can be applied to the Venmo account, is that false?

What would be the point in wasting that one 3 prepaids? granted double or triple miles on the gc purchase but 2000 a month seems better *ITLR

*in the long run

In most cases I would agree, unless you were making serious cashback on the prepaid purchases (much more than using a CC directly on Venmo) and were able to open a new Venmo account each time you expended the previous.

Now you just have to find grocery and drug stores that sell $500 AMEX/Visas and accept CC as payment.
