Yes, I do.
Um, it happened Christmas day.
I was coming home from an event and there was a gentleman
young boy standing in the median and i thought he was trying to cross the road so i kept my car a little bit further back and then he motioned for me to come up and i rolled down the window and said i'm sorry i thought you were trying to cross the road and he said no my coach is having us out here collecting money for our basketball team so i handed attempted to hand him a five dollar bill and he said no no no
the coach doesn't want us to take any money, but he wants you to Venmo him.
And I said, well, that's not a very good idea.
And he said, please, it's just $2.
I have to show the coach that I'm really trying.
So I picked up my phone and I opened Venmo and I said, tell me his name.
I'll Venmo $5.
And that time he reached in my car, grabbed my phone and starts with a QR code on his phone.
And I reached and grabbed his phone out of his hand and said, give me my phone back right now.
Give me my phone back.
And he continued messing with my phone and then finally handed it back to me and I gave him his phone and then I just left.
And as soon as I got to my driveway, which was two minutes, I called 911.
And I said to the police officer, I'm not sure what just happened, but please go and check it out.
So then sitting in my driveway, I looked at my Venmo and I couldn't see anything that had happened until I went to transactions and it shows that he had attempted to send $2,000 somewhere.
And it just showed a number, but it was not my, my Venmo account.
so the police officer called me in about 10 minutes and said we've got the suspect in the back of the police car do you want to press charges and i said yes i absolutely do and apparently he had gotten a woman the day before on christmas eve to sell him two thousand dollars and i don't know the story there but she also wanted to press charges
So my Venmo showed that the funds would not be available until December 31st.
