Venmo shut my account down.
They have cranky pants.

dont use venmo for reasons that they state are restricred/not allowed.

Venmo is not adult work friendly. They could unfreeze you in 21 days. They could permaban you and send you the funds in 6 months.

Don't ever use your escort name or email on Venmo or Cash App .

Not had any issues ..

They closed my account because I couldn't find the two small deposits.
I used it for family affairs.
For a long time I was only able to accept money. Not send. Then they just closed it.

In a non-hobby environment I’ve given up on Venmo, too. Too hard (or expensive) to add money to the account. My bank supports Zelle, so I have switched to that platform.

It is my understanding Zelle was started by a consortium of banks, so it makes sense they want to make it easy to integrate into their online banking platforms. I don’t know how well it would work in the hobby; I suspect the US banking industry would not be in favor of anonymous transactions (although at least it doesn’t default to showing other users your payment history as Venmo does).

For the hobby, I’m cash only and plan to stay that way.

Venmo and PayPal same company and both suck and are evil, Zelle works great and little to no bs

The thing with them is that you never have issues... until you do.


CashApp shut me down without reason. My hobby email/name/etc were not on the account. In fact-- the account was dormant for over a year. In September, I requested a new card. Account was still good. Got the card. Went on in November to activate the card and POOF-- account suspended. Had literally not been used in 15 months at that point. Claimed I was using it for gambling.



With Venmo-- I used it to pay a landlord when I lived in the USVI. Never took in any payments on it. Still got shut down.






Today's reminder--- cash is king.

CASH only at time of session is safest
because cash money cannot be traced
the way it can with Venmo or Cash App or Zelle

I get the appeal for some ladies. Its just not my personal preference.

The machine spit out 2-50s without me asking and I realized, “damn if this inflation thing isn’t for real”.

one can use zelle to transfer money to a provider.
however, the sender needs to know the receiver's RW info if that's how they are registered on zelle. and then the receiver knows the sender's RW info.

so, unless you really trust the other person or dont care what they do with that RW info, i suggest you dont use zelle.

cash or gift card or prepaid debit card.
or sheep and eggs and fresh milk.

AI Overview

If Venmo has shut down your account, it's likely due to a security issue or a violation of their terms of service. To try and resolve it, check your email for instructions, contact Venmo support, and be prepared to verify your identity or provide documentation.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of potential reasons and steps to take:

Reasons for Account Suspension:

Venmo may freeze accounts to protect users and their funds if they detect suspicious activity, such as unauthorized transactions or unusual login patterns.

Violation of Terms of Service:

Verification Issues:
If Venmo requires additional verification or documentation to confirm your identity or address, your account may be suspended until you provide the necessary information.

Failed Payments:
A recent failed payment from your bank account might trigger a temporary suspension.

High-Risk Businesses:
Venmo may not allow certain businesses, like those involved in selling firearms, to use the platform for payments.

Steps to Resolve the Suspension:

1. Check Your Email:
Venmo will likely send an email explaining the reason for the suspension and any steps you need to take to reinstate your account.

2. Contact Venmo Support:
If you haven't received an email or need further clarification, contact Venmo's support team via email or through their help center.
