Person Said An Old Gift Is Now A Loan And Wants Repayment. Sends Me More Money (claims To Be An Accident) And Demands More Money.

Location: California

An old colleague gave me $1,000 a few years ago as a gift. He was bragging how much money he was making. I even had a friend as a witness. He then experienced tough times and started demanding the money back saying it was a loan. Zero documentation. I ignored it. Ridiculous.

Out of the blue, FIVE YEARS later, he sends me a Venmo request for loan repayment. I’m like the wtf and declined it. He then Venmo’d me $1,000. What is going on? He then Venmo’s me two requests for $1,000.

I then get an email:

*Happy new year. I accidentally sent you $1000 when I meant to request you return the $1000 I lent you several years back. Please return the $1000 I just sent you right away. Please confirm the receipt of the email. I’d want to resolve this amicably. Without involving anyone else. I’ll trust you to do the right thing.*

UPDATE:

New email:

*It’s been a while and I tried reaching you last night.*

*As you know, I accidentally sent you $1,000.00 when I was trying to send you a repayment request for the loan I gave you in 2015. That loan, which you promised to repay within three months, was lent to you 10 years ago. I would ask you to do the right thing and return the loan or at least reverse yesterday’s $1,000.00 payment. There’s a number in the Venmo app you can call to cancel and confirm the money was sent in error. I’m pleading with you to do the right thing.*
