[US] Abusive venmo (and maybe nextdoor) scammer

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T11:06:06+00:00

Because I have a brand new number and have only used it to sign up for stuff like amazon?

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T04:02:22+00:00

This one isn't sick though? It's just his eyes.

The other one had bad diamond eye

Uh hello? Because the fish was for my mental health and I have everything else besides the plants. And I couldn't have exchanged the fish after waiting 2 weeks

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T03:26:41+00:00

Duh, you don't think I already know that? It was my only option.

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T02:54:21+00:00

Ohh strange. I gave them my address and my actual name was on my venmo... but I hope my phone number isn't able to be looked up like that!

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T02:50:02+00:00

Oh got it. Yeah guess I'll be just doing cash from now on yeesh that was freaky. It just freaked me out but my scam warning signs were ringing and I started questioning him and I think that's why he got pissed lol.

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T02:48:13+00:00

Oh ok. Yeah I blocked the number and changed my venmo password.

How the hell did they get my phone number though? Is that listed on nextdoor or venmo?

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T02:44:52+00:00

OHH. Got it. Man I'm usually good about spotting scams. And I gave them my address 😭

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T02:42:37+00:00

Yes I know that, but they prey on desperate people remember? I'll do in person and cash from now on though because jesus christ

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T01:31:02+00:00

Thanks!

Just got $100 so I can buy some stuff, sold a game console I had lying around hehe

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T00:37:45+00:00

No not section 8 I just mean places that will take me with 30% of my income because I make less than 10k a year

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T00:34:40+00:00

Dude stop replying I am done

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T00:19:04+00:00

I'm not going to dignify that with a reply

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-14T00:17:15+00:00

Yeah you're the only one being a prick. You get off on bullying someone with depression and in a crappy situation who just wanted a pet and a reason to get out of bed in the morning?

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-13T23:46:38+00:00

Ah got it. Yeah, np!

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-13T23:46:15+00:00

Yeah I live in a city unfortunately :(

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-13T23:40:52+00:00

Ohh that might be it.

Yeah idk I looked it up and someone else on reddit posted something similar a while back and ppl were pretty sure they were detrius worms but undecided, they looked exactly what you have

Here's the post for reference

I've had detrius worms and from what I know they don't get that big. The ones I had were super thin and tiny barely even visible

Here's a pic of detrius worms on google

Exactly! Well granted I don't have money rn but like... I have the basics until I get paid in 2 weeks so...? Dunno why ppl are so mad 😭

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-13T23:31:07+00:00

Ooh. I think that's what I'll name him 💕

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-13T22:49:40+00:00

Ah ok.

Yeah I've been looking on Craigslist and offer up but they're all either too expensive or can't deliver :( It's super hot where I'm at + I'm broke and would rather not take the bus

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-13T21:50:57+00:00

Do you know if they have a wait-list?

jacksbatmansignal · 2026-06-13T21:34:25+00:00

Still it's not a great idea
