interested buyer the same day night (Facebook profile named "Milford" which most likely was a fake profile). We agreed on the
price of $350 for the equipment and agreed to use Venmo as the method of payment. I shared my Venmo profile information to
facilitate the transaction. The buyer informed me that he paid me using Venmo. Venmo transactions are usually instantaneous,
however, I did not receive any money. A minute later, I received a fake email from what looked like Venmo customer support. The
email claimed that since the buyer made the Venmo transaction using his "business account" and the minimum transaction amount
had to be over $500. I asked the buyer for his cell phone number so that I could call him and figure it out. He provided his cell
number as 352-301-5942. When I called him, he claimed that he called Venmo customer support and sent an additional $500 to my
account, which I did not receive either. The buyer then called me late that night and pressurized me to call the Venmo customer
support number listed on the fake email (331-335-4554). The call was attended by someone name "Griffin". The explained to me
that I had to refund $500 to the buyer, as part of an FDIC security transaction check, in order to clear the original $350 Venmo
transaction. As part of this, I initially tried to send $500 via Venmo to the Venmo account that the buyer provided (aliya-349-4148)
but this transaction did not go through. Then, I ended up sending $500 via Zelle payment from my checking account to a recipient
that the buyer provided (recipient details provided by the buyer was Darien Collins, 702-351-4074). I thought I was sending this
money to the buyer as a refund for the earlier transaction. After this transaction, while my checking account showed that Zelle had
processed the payment, the buyer kept claiming that he did not receive the money. Based on "Griffin's" instructions, I ended up
making an additional payment of $500 using Apple gift card to an email address that the buyer provided
([email protected]). By now, the buyer and the supposed customer support buy started sounding rude to me on the
call. As this point, I realized that I was being scammed. I hung up the call and blocked those numbers.
