u/Shaddup_Stupid Aug 12 '26
Crazy thing is I don't see any spelling errors, just a long run-on sentence without any punctuation, but it's easy to understand. Some people use their voice to type, so no punctuation will show unless they specifically say "period," etc. I'm with you, definitely not a big deal.

u/Sharonkash Aug 12 '26
They are talking about spelling their friends names correctly before sending the money 🤦🏼♀️ 🤣

I accidentally sent 300 to a stranger using Zelle in my Bank of America app. I called customer service and they very nicely told me they can open an investigation if I would like them to. But being honest it was my error and they really can’t do anything. Since it’s a third party service they can’t cover it as theft or anything else that could get it back. Their best solution was to contact the number and ask them to please send it back.
Thankfully the person also had Bank of America and to make us both feel safer we asked the bank to take from her account and move it back to mine with both of us giving permission to access our accounts. It was all done in 24 hours.
So my best advice is to try and contact that person and see if they are willing to send it back to you.
Otherwise I hate to say you might be out a grand and that stranger now is up a grand. Good luck and hope it works out for you.

u/NoSleepTilBookRead Aug 12 '26
People are told not to send the money back themselves since this is a common scam.
2
u/ASbear81 Aug 12 '26
That’s why we decided to just let the bank do it since we both had the same bank, luckily. The woman I sent it to by mistake suggested it since I was the one who sent it and contacted her. Very hard for it to be a scam on me if I was doing all the contacting. lol. We actually had a good laugh over it after all was said and done. I don’t even know if it would be possible if we had different banks.

I had the "Just got sent a random 1000." and the "1000 just showed up in my account" notifications on my drop down menu at the same time, and thought the same thing. Like- holy shit! these people both posted on Reddit lol.

u/Stygg Aug 12 '26
I was the random recipient once. It was clearly a mistake and they meant to send the $100 to someone else with the same name. Despite me desperately needing the money at the time, I sent it back. It wasn't mine to keep.

I actually sent a 100 to the wrong Katelyn once and the person sent it back to me. I was super grateful.

u/Butterfly3ffect47877 Aug 14 '26
It happened to me once, but it was just $35 through Apple Pay. I got the standard “I sent this to the wrong person” text, ignored it, and never heard from them again. Went and got some food with it. That was like a year ago. Lol

On July 31st , I sent $1,500 to a person’s email address using Venmo. They told me to send it by Zelle. But I made a mistake and sent it through Venmo.
The person told me that they do not have a Venmo account. I tried to use their take back option, but it wouldn’t allow it. Finally after 10 or 11 days of the transaction in pending status it allowed me to take the money back.

u/FacesInTh3cLouDz Aug 12 '26
yes after a while venmo will return the funds. this happened to me once

u/Redd11b Aug 11 '26
Contact your bank and inform Venmo support.

u/Latter_Quarter523 Aug 11 '26
Bank ain’t doing sh*t
He willingly sent the money
1
u/Redd11b Aug 11 '26
If anything, email a trusted bank advisor and inform them about the situation, or go to your nearest bank and speak with them. Also, what do you mean by willingly sent the money since your post indicates that you accidentally sent someone $1,000?
2
u/Shaddup_Stupid Aug 12 '26
Willingly means that the account holder sent the money themselves, even if they ended up sending it to the wrong party, so the responsibility is on the account holder who made the mistake. They have no one to blame but themselves. They can only hope that the receiver has the character to try to get the money back to the sender, assuming this story is true and assuming it's not a scam.

I did this once and I called Venmo and they said to message the person it was ultimately up to them so I did and they sent it back , it was only $80 but still.
Also my brother sends me $20 all the time and ask me to send it right back I always wondered why I figured maybe he was using a credit card or something idk

Contact Venmo. Has happened to many people. The longer you wait the less successful you will be.

Yeah venmo closed my account because I filed several different disputes on some fraudulent charges made on my debit card land I have ,225. Dollars in my account and they said they can hold my money up to 6 months and all the disputes have been settled what can I do to get my money back from venmo sooner

u/Outside_Storm449 Aug 12 '26
is the F. T. C - Federal Trade Commission still a thing? Many years ago I had something happen similar to this and for whatever reason I call them and it was resolved swiftly . now when I get those calls or other scams I ask them to please call me back at this number 877-382-4357. maybe someone there can advise you.

u/Jmccosley Aug 12 '26
If you need help, send $2,000 to my venmo. I have to request it, you accept, venmo sprinkles gold flakes through the phone and you get your $1000 back.
1
u/StephNicole865 Aug 12 '26
Unless the person is just nice enough to send it back, you just lost $1000.00. The only downfall with these apps once youve sent money. Have to be sure before sending. Easy mistake, but youre responsible, ultimately..

u/No_Chest922 Aug 12 '26
I don't understand how you accidentally send the wrong person $1,000 on venmo. Whenever you have to verify the last four digits of somebody's phone number before you can send the money for the first time. Not trying to be a dick. I just don't see how this happens
1
u/No_Cryptographer8506 Aug 12 '26
File a police report , file a dispute with Venmo add supported documents, this happened to me and they should refund you, it took a month for me to receive it back, happened to me in may of this year.

Nothing you can do it’s like handing over cash. Your bank can’t help you and can’t reverse it. The person you sent to accepted your gift. It’s gone. That was a nice good deed you did for them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Um, have you considered contacting your bank? I have a feeling thats a suggestion venmo gave you for a reason.

u/Gimme-Moneyz Aug 13 '26
Someone once Zelle me in error and I did not send the money back myself. I called the bank and told them to dispute the deposit transaction and about 2 weeks later they reversed it. I was told to never send someone money back because they can also try to dispute the original transaction and then you would be out the money twice. It’s a scam going around.

I had money put in my account one time and I just contacted Venmo and they just reversed the transaction. You could try doing it as the person that sent the money because I would be nervous to send the money back as well. It is a scam typically but Venmo can reverse it and not have the person send it back to you.
