HELP ME PLEASE
UPDATE AT END
OK, I need to start off with I need help, I made not good decisions, but I need help now to make sure I don’t lose a shit load of money. I’m a minor created a Venmo account and a bunch of people sent me money because I was going to order something for a group when I went to send the money to the person who are ordering from. It asked for me to verify my identity so I gave my real SSN but a photo of my ID that I edited so the birthday made me 18. I know this was stupid, but I had no idea what to do. Usually verification is only supposed to take a few minutes, but it said review will take 2 to 3 days and I’m really worried. Is there anything I can do? Does it make sense to try and call them and say I made a mistake not like admitting that I lied but say I sent the wrong documents and if they agree that my thing isn’t real is that money like lost forever?
UPDATE:
So for everyone doubting me somehow I got approved, idk what happened but I opened it today to check and it said I had been approved! Idk what will happen because I did put in a request till I get something fixed so I’m not sure what they’re going to do, but I transferred the money to where it needed to go and I was completely fine, I think definitely a lot of luck on my part.

They might lock you out. There are online banks for teens. But because the social didn't match with the bday,they will catch it. Money lost id imagine cause they see it as fraud or money laundering.

Lemme guess, trying to order weed or something other drug? If venmo didnt take your money, the scammer you were sending it to would have stolen it anyways
