How do I get my money back from Cash App?

If you fall victim to a scam on Cash App, the first step is to attempt to cancel the payment. Open the app and navigate to the payment in question. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to cancel the transaction before it processes.

Reporting the scam to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is another important step. The FTC collects information on scams and uses it to pursue legal action against perpetrators. Reporting the scam can also help prevent others from falling victim to the same tactics.

As a precautionary measure, consider freezing your bank account if you suspect that your personal information has been compromised. This will prevent unauthorized access to your funds and give you time to resolve the issue with your bank.

If canceling the payment is not an option, try reaching out to the recipient and requesting a refund. Be cautious, however, as this may not be successful if the scammer has already taken off with your money.

If direct communication with the recipient yields no results, you can file a dispute with Cash App. This process involves providing evidence of the scam, such as screenshots or transaction history. Cash App will then investigate the claim and may issue a refund.
