That’s not how Venmo works at all.
You cannot cancel a transaction. Once it’s sent it’s sent.
the scammer used a fake/fraudulent source for the money they sent you. They want you to launder it and send them your clean $250 back. Then once Venmo determines the first transaction was from a fraudulent source, you’re out the initial $250 and the scammer has your clean $250
