I met a guy on an app and we talked for about a couple of weeks. Then, he asked if he could help me with my bills and I said yes. However, he wanted information on my bank account, so I gave him my Venmo, as it would be more convenient. He told me to take $300 and send the rest to an account that he had.
Will I get in trouble for that? I only did what he told me to do.
It's the usual scam. Nobody sends you money for free. Ever.
What will happen is that his Venmo transfer will be undone, either by him, or by Venmo when the found out it was fraud, and your money you sent him forward is gone. Because you sent it voluntarily, you will not be covered.
Of course you can sue him, but he will just disappear, and you are out of your money.
Stop believing in Santa Claus.
