Scamming - Fraud
I just received 8 phone calls from the "Venmo Fraud Department" claiming someone was trying to change the password on my Venmo account. They tried to get me to provide a code they sent from the actual Venmo texting number. I immediately hung up and called Venmo customer service. The representative informed me that Venmo would never call users, as they aren’t allowed. DO NOT PROVIDE ANY CODES!

They called me 13 times in a row yesterday. I knew it was a scam immediately when they asked for a pin that was just sent to me.
