Recognize Protect and Keep Your Money Safe with Cash App

Cash App wants you to avoid scams and help keep your funds safe. So remember — if something sounds too good to be true (like free money in exchange for a small payment), it’s likely a scam.

How to Recognize and Avoid Unwanted payments to Keep Your Money Safe

When using Cash App Support to send money, we strongly recommend the following:

  • Turn on notifications and  keep your account more secure
  • Keep your information safe. Never provide sensitive information to anyone
  • Verify and double-check all recipient information before sending any payment to confirm you are sending money to the correct person
  • Don’t send money to someone promising you something in the future
  • Don’t send money to a love interest you haven’t met in person

Never Provide Anyone with your Sensitive Information

Fraudsters often attempt to steal your data and gain access to accounts by pretending to be a Cash App customer service / Cash App Support representative. Cash App service representatives will never ask for or demand the following:

  • Your sign-in code. This unique code helps keep your account safe and secure from scammers and fraudsters
  • Sensitive information. This includes your full debit card number, PIN, bank account information, or your social security number. Never provide detailed personal information to anyone claiming to work for Cash App via phone, email, social media, text messages, or any other contact channel
  • To send a payment to any Cash App account. There is never a valid reason to send money to an account claiming to be Cash App, Cash App support or other companies outside of Cash App
  • To download any application for “remote access,” or to complete a “test” transaction of any kind (such as AnyDesk)

If someone claiming to work for Cash App Support does any of the things above, they’re probably a scammer. Should you encounter any of these situations, end communication immediately and contact us through one of our verified support channels at Cashapp
