A few years ago I signed up for venmo to send people money.. like any body does.. I have no idea what happened, but I got perm banned. I got no email, I called customer service and they couldnt elaborate.. I literally signed up and sent like $40 to a person selling a stereo and not 10mins later I was banned.. and like life banned. I even signed up years later and it wouldnt go through. Only thing I can think is maybe they didn't allow purchases.. I have no clue.. weirdest thing ever.. Avoid it.
