OT: I need some advice

I'm really very sorry.... I only do this type of thing when I'm intoxicated.

BUT the good news is that I do "plan" on paying you back when I get back on my feet in small installments.

BTW can you give me your NEW pin code so I can start repaying you?

Delete the app, close the accounts, confront your brother.

I don't know you personally but I assume when you say your brother is a "complete mess" you're talking about substance abuse. If that's the case, yes, he is robbing you. No he will not stop until you cut him off or he gets clean. Addicts don't think like rational people. He'll feel a tinge of guilt for stealing but as soon as he gets high, he'll forget all about it.
 
I set a trap the last time I suspected my room mate of stealing money from me. I caught him that first time. It's not rocket science.

See, that wasn’t so hard.

Good thing your brother didn’t listen to all the machete-wielding maniacs in here before you had a chance to apologize.

Apologies are good for the soul. I do feel much better now. Thanks
 
The OP's brother?

I always got the princess scammers. I would always string them along, always sooo close to giving them my information. Man, I love toying with scammers.

Careful...really best not to answer at all....some of these thieves are smarter than you may think

Last thing you need is going on a "future prospects" list

Did you change your passwords and pin code? or did you then write them down where your brother could find them? Also that amount of money is destined to someone unless he walked in the bank and acted like you, the bank has video. By the way, I use paypal instead of venmo. Sad when you can't trust family but don't enable him by being careless.

Telling you all you can do to be safe and fix it isn't going to work since you didn't learn the first time , it's a shame oh well.

I will preface this by saying this is extremely off topic, but I need some advice. So, about 3 weeks ago, $2650 went missing from my bank account via a venmo transaction I did not authorize. It looked like somebody hacked my venmo (which was directly linked to my bank account) and paid themselves. I called my credit union, and got the money refunded, no big deal.

So, today, almost $2500 went missing AGAIN from via a Venmo transaction that I did not authorize. This time, it is from my debit card. Obviously I want to report it, but I'm not gonna lie... it seems a little weird that this would happen twice, and I don't want to be investigated for something that I didn't do, ha.

The strangest part about it all, is that this has happened since my older brother has moved in, within the last couple months. My brother is a complete mess right now, so I'm not saying he would do anything like this but... you never know I guess.

I want to report it to get my money back, but if, per say, my brother sent himself money, I don't want it to look like I sent it to him, and I am just reporting it. Has anybody ever had a few transactions like this, where money ends up missing? Any advice from CIS? Lol
