We’re here to protect you
Take these steps to keep your money safe and stop scammers.
Once you pay a scammer, they’ll disappear with your money. Always make sure you know and trust the person you are paying.
Official Cash App social channels include @cashapp, @cashsupport, @squarecash, and u/CashAppAndi. Emails are @cash.app, @square.com, or @squareup.com. Websites always end with cash.app, block.xyz, square.com, or squareup.com.
You can turn on Security Lock in Cash App under your profile’s security settings. This helps protect your account by requiring Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN to access your account.
Watch out for these scams
Scammers make false promises to take your money or personal info. Here are some scams that are trending now:
Cash flip
With this investment scam, scammers on social media promise that if you send them money, they can double it (or more). After you pay them, they block you and keep the cash.
App glitch
With this scam, scammers tell you there’s a software glitch and promise free cash if you download a different version of Cash App from a random website. When you log in, they steal your account info and take your money.
Customer support impersonators
With this scam, the scammer pretends to be from the Cash App customer support team to steal your personal info. Check the details: they usually don’t match Cash App’s official phone number, website, or accounts.
Fake giveaways
Scammers will post fake giveaways on social media pretending to be from Cash App. Cash App will never ask for money or your login info to participate in giveaways.
Survey scams
This scam offers payment to take a fake Cash App survey. The survey tricks you into buying random products and services to earn the reward. Cash App will never require payment—or personal login info—to take a survey.
