So on Friday, the next day, I went to my bank and talked to them, showed them what had happened.

And they said, we probably can't do anything about it.

But they called the scam department at the bank.

And by Monday, the money was back into my account.

But in the meantime, I had...

changed my password, I had deleted the bank account attached to my Venmo, and I had transferred enough money out of that account that it should have come back insufficient funds.

And you know what?

Of course, afterwards I felt so gullible and so...

Yeah, but you know what?

You know, my kids both did sports, and I know they had to do, you know, collections and sales.

And to be honest...

I thought, you know, what's a couple of dollars?

But when he grabbed the phone out of my hand, then I knew this was not good.

But it's a shame you can't help kids when they're really legitimately doing something, you know.

Well, the good news is the money was put back into my account, and I got a police report.

He's still in jail, and he was 17 years old.

Oh, God.

And we don't know a lot of details.

You shouldn't have given him his phone back.

When you stole his phone, you should have kept it.
