Old scams never die. They are simply repackaged or adapted. A skilled con artist always finds a way to dupe his victims.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) recently warned consumers about a Venmo digital wallet scam, where bad actors are sending you money ‘by accident’. It seems scammers are connecting stolen credit cards to Venmo apps and transferring money to unsuspecting users. Once the transfer is complete, they contact you in the app with a message that sound very believable: “Oops! Can you send that back?”

In this case, however, if you transfer the money back, the perp deletes the stolen credit card from the Venmo account and replaces it with his own.
