Someone stranger just sent me $20 on my venmo account that I've used one time to send my sister money for her honeymoon. Message attached was "Pink I back the blue". Anyone know what the deal is? I'm not breast cancer/pig adjacent so I'm not sure why someone would send me money for either of those causes. Didn't see any "decline payment" option on venmo either.

i know this post is old but the scam is they ask you to send the money back because they accidentally sent it to the wrong person. in a few days the payment you received will get reversed because the checking account it was sent from didnt have funds and now you're in the hole $20

its the check cashing scam but in app form
