Stop trying to reverse psychology so you can still do the idea first 😂

You know you can see if the money has been deposited into the other account right?

It seems like the answer is making banking apps more heavily dependent on your tax ID and federal ID. If someone steals and forces me to transfer on venmo the other side should be arrested.

My friend's sister lost $2,400 via a forcible Venmo transfer in broad daylight despite screaming no one would help her. Venmo wouldn't reverse it and she's out the money. Renters/Homeowners have low limits on cash theft.

True. But these apps can be linked to accounts from different countries.

ah - yea well don't necessarily want to restrict that - but I wouldn't' mind introducing some sort of time delay as a precaution on my transfers. Sort of like the safe we had at work that took 15+ minutes to open. I live in a dense urban area with a lot of armed robberies. The crews typically commit 10 or so robberies in an hour and then drive away without ever getting caught by police. I'd like to keep banking apps on my phone but I don't like the idea of risking $2K+. If someone steals my phone or wallet I would only lose a small deductible on the phone.

What a lot of people use in 3rd world countries including Mexico. Is a decoy phone. No banking apps linked to it, no personal information.

Okay how about this. Me and you get to the patent office REAL QUICK and then we get to keep the idea.

I think we have a potentially fatal misunderstanding here.

YOU will go to the patent office on my behalf such that i may keep your idea which you have also stolen

🙈🔫🙂‍↔️ … that or the monkey gets it

Vultures. Wolves are noble and respectable.

Unless once the person “sent money” using said fake app a message was to the 911 center closest to you….in theory that would stop the scams
