Possibly.
My neighbor gave my wife an extra plant he did not need.
Wife asked me to Venmo him $25.00
So I find his wife on Venmo, send her the money then text her I'd done so.
She responds, "I don't have Venmo"



To make a long story short after reaching out to Venmo and getting no love it occurs to me the mystery account is hers (she forgot she started to set it up but never completed) and associated with the email address you get from your broadband provider.
I knew she had switched to a different provider but I still used the old provider.
Since she no longer had an account with the old provider I just claimed her old email address for myself, went to Venmo and asked for a password reset which gets sent to the email, gained control of the account and paid myself back.
