If the money is really in your account, contact your bank and let them investigate.

It’s staying in my Venmo until the issue is sorted with Venmo.

OK, I think I was confusing Venmo with Zelle. But in any case, contact Venmo about possible fraud.

What's to stop op from immediately withdrawing the $250 and canceling their venmo, thereby keeping the cash?

I don’t really know how Venmo works. How easy is it for someone to “mistakenly” send money?
