Question

Scammer got us for $100.00 - how do I record this in QBDT?

Hubby thought he needed just one more tool.... don't get me started!

So, he assumes the $100.00 bucks he sends via Venmo to N.K... (name hidden), would produce the Milwaukee vac.  It didn't!   A day later, hubby is looking for tracking info and alas, Mr. N.K. has disappeared into thin air!

Venmo says, we paid him, but you didn't have the money in your Venmo account, so now you owe us (Venmo) $100.00!  (so this $100.00 Milwaukee Vac that we will never see, is actually costing us $200.00)!

 Venmo does not offer any kind of protection, like PayPal does, so we are out $200.00 now.

HOW DO I RECORD THIS TRANSACTION IN QBDT?

 

Any insight would be much appreciated.  And watch out for those scammers out there!

Hey there, @victoriah1956. 

 

It's great to see you back in the Community. I hate to hear that you and your husband got scammed by Mr. N.K. 

 

However, to get the best advice on how to record this in your QuickBooks Desktop account, I recommend consulting with your accountant first. 

 

Keep us updated on how the conversation goes and come back with some other details on how they want you to specifically record this for your books. I'll be waiting for your response!

Candace, really?

Why is this question any different than any of the other hundreds of questions asked and answered in this community?

If we had an accountant, obviously I would ask him/her.

Is this not what the Community Forum is for - questions and ANSWERS?

 

So, if anyone else would like to chime in, please do.

thanks very much
