Value of property in dispute

$149.50

I had done a bit of business with @Srufener dating back to early 2026. For most of his transactions, we just interacted in-game, and he paid via Venmo or CashApp. Got a notification for three chargebacks this morning via Venmo. I keep pretty detailed logs of everything, so I looked back to see what the transactions were. Two of them were off-site, with his characters Nightslow and Nightstick in-game on Firiona Vie. The $34.50 one was for Krono from ECT, and came from someone who appears to have already been suspended, at the least.

The transaction definitely struck me as odd, but I looked back and saw I had already done a fair amount of business with the guy, and it was only 3 Krono, so I didn't think too much of it and sent them his way.

But I looked up my transaction log with Nightslow on FV, and he said I had apparently messaged him about automating AAs on ECT. So I looked it up, and it looks like @Srufener is the same dude. Username also fits with Shaun Rufener being the one who initiated the chargebacks. Pretty wacky AI reply on the AAs too

Didn't bother redacting anything since he went ahead and reversed everything he could. But let me know what's going on @Srufener

@Xuande any insight into Venmo chargebacks?
