Why YSK: There is currently text bot sending very convincing texts claiming to be Venmo's fraud service. They ask you to follow a link that looks like it's Venmo's and sign in.

Why YSK: It's not fun to find out, but you will have until April 15th to pay the amount due so its far better to have 6+ weeks to save up rather than find out that refund you were expecting is actually a hidden $1k+ expense.
