@sophalthea888: HELP PLS the guys tried paying me back but I didn’t want to download another app. I don’t think they were scammers, but I think the bus driver is in the wrong. They had tickets through flixbus but there was an obvious language barrier and got on the wrong bus and were lost and needed to get to boston. If I was in a foreign country I would really hope someone helped me. But now im down $120 and realize the bus driver Is wrong for that. Do I report him ? #helpme #scam #travel #hopecore #whatdoido
Why would you do that in the first place and expect it back? I don’t get it lol

I think you’re a very kind person! I also think the two guys, assuming they’re adults, should absolutely pay you back. It was their responsibility to make sure they had their tickets transferred before arriving, or whatever the issue was. Even with a language barrier, there are plenty of tools they could have used, like Google Translate, which can automatically translate webpages.
The bus driver likely doesn’t handle ticket issues or customer service. He’s just there to do his job, and rules are rules. Sometimes buses stop at places with ATMs, so they could withdraw cash and pay you back. If they have PayPal or another money transfer app, that could make sending money between currencies even easier.
At the end of the day, I think it’s up to the two adults without tickets to figure out how to reimburse you for your kindness.

revolut is fine, its what we use for travelling mostly because it gives the best exchange rate and there is zero fees using it in different countries all over the world 😊

Have you ever heard of wise? That’s an app where you connect your own bank account anywhere in the world. You can even create a payment link. I live in Spain and use it to transfer between my US and Spanish bank accounts

if they offered to pay you back and you said no then you’re willingly out of $120 on your own accord. you offered to pay and refused an offer of payment to reimburse you back because you “didn’t want to download an app”.

the driver is 100% in the wrong, however please do download revolut if the men are willing to pay you! it's a very common bank app that a huge majority of europeans use

Yeah but the driver can’t take a personal payment. That’s sketchy.

I’d ask him where the money actually went and ask why his acc was the only option and if he can’t give a good answer then def report it and keep the receipt of the money you sent in case you need it

If you would have found your IBAN number, they could have transferred you the money FYI. But as the comments say, Revolut is super common and not a scam. No one outside the US uses Venmo

the Spanish guys can bank transfer you, it requires you do to some digging into finding your SWIFT/IBAN number but it is possible, takes a few days and you might get less than $120 due to transaction fees

Either ask them to Venmo you back or eat the cost. Also, you never talked to them about this prior, so you can't be too upset if they don't, kinda jumped the gun there.

Good you got the money back, sounds like the driver was trying to con them out of more money. If it was genuine then he would have directed them to the correct site to purchase the correct ticket
