Do you use Venmo? Did you receive emails from Venmo that instruct you to send packages? Watch out for the latest Venmo email scam!
Posing as Venmo, scammers send you an email, falsely claiming that your Venmo account just received an amount of money. Then they instruct you to send out a package immediately to get the payment. Sounds confusing, right?
That’s the goal. Scammers then say that you can contact the customer service via the email addresses they provide. But, if you take a closer look, you will realize that these email addresses are not legitimate. Genuine Venmo support contact should be support@venmo.com, according to Venmo official website.
