Reply to Toddler Found Alone in Locked Car Outside Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, Police Say by ActionJawnson

Oof either way this is sad. Either someone working had no other option and locked their kid in the car while they worked the casino or dude is so addicted to gambling he chose to do this. I feel really bad for this kid. And yeah I remember the 80s/90s when I’d ask my mom if I could wait in the car while she grocery shopped but tbis isn’t that…

Reply to comment by uptown_gargoyle in Big Charlie’s Saloon, the Kansas City Chiefs bar in South Philly, cancels its Super Bowl watch party by CookedDenimRawPizza

Yeah I’m a little confused too, I hadn’t heard of this bar until last weeks when they started getting publicity for being a bar in Philly that was a place for someone who doesn’t root for the eagles to watch games. Isn’t it possible that a bump in interest in the bar was mostly from people who wanted to watch the game and either support the chief’s or support a different team entirely and just don’t want to be surrounded by eagles fans that day?

Wasn’t getting a bump in patronage exactly why they started promoting their bar the last few weeks? Maybe this article is leaving out key details to why the ticket sales/requests seemed nefarious.

Anyway I hope no one has threatened these folks or done anything nefarious and they are just being paranoid/ extra cautious.

Anyway, go birds.

She tried but they wouldn’t do it because she doesn’t have access to the email linked to it anymore, I dunno it was only $20 so I didn’t micromanage it lol, my take away was just that venmo couldn’t refund/cancel The charge

So while it’s likely a scam I am confused by everyone saying they will cancel the charge because I have actually venmoed the wrong person before (twice actually once a stranger with a similar name and once my cousins account she can’t access anymore) and when I contacted support for venmo they told me there is no way to cancel or rescind the transaction and the people would have to venmo me back. The stranger did (which was nice and unexpected) and my cousin obviously can’t since she can’t get into that account so that money is just lost essentially.

How would this scam work since the sender cannot cancel the transaction?
