My friend got scammed in a similar way via CashApp.

He sold something a few weeks ago and received payment via CashApp. Two days ago he's informed that the customer disputed the charge through his bank, and CashApp is taking the money back from my friend. CashApp says there is nothing they can do, they are simply the middleman.

That's funny. I paid for something using my CashApp debit card and the merchant took the money and never delivered it and CashApp say there is nothing they can do there either.

I just got banned from Twitter for posting the contact details of their VPs :|

My understanding is that this is not possible in Venmo and Zelle; their transactions are permanent.
