Protect yourself from five common CashApp scams
Investigates ı By Jackie Allen

The funds you send them are often called a “clearance fee.” These scammers will happily accept your money and they will never return anything back.
Keep in mind that CashApp will never request funds to claim payments or promise you a profit for a fee of any kind.
-
Puppy/Pet Deposit Scam
Some scammers pose as dog or pet breeders. They usually claim to have an upcoming litter of puppies and request a deposit. They typically post fake photos, don’t want to have phone communications, and offer to sell animals that are rare or purebred, for very low prices.
It’s safer to send money over CashApp once you meet the buyer in-person and receive the puppy.
CashApp does not guarantee a refund if a buyer doesn’t receive what they purchase.
-
Apartment and Home Rentals
Another favorite con job concerns real-estate. Similar to the puppy/pet scam, these scammers promise a cheap apartment or a great deal on a house that doesn’t exist. They may ask for a deposit with, or sometimes without an application. Perhaps they show you a virtual tour, but they never offer to let you have in-person access to a prospective rental.
You can’t trust everything you see online. It is not hard to check out a company before doing business with them. Always make sure you are doing business with legitimate realtors and property management companies if you are trying to rent or buy a property.

Phishing Frauds
Phishing is an attempt by a fraud actor to collect financial or personal data through social media, email, text messages, or phone calls. The victims of phishing scams are sometimes directed to fake websites. And asked to enter their information into these phony websites. Often, these sites have a professional appearance.
CashApp never directs its customers to third-party sites. It’s also important to note that real CashApp verified emails only come from cash.app, square.com, or squareup.com email address.
If a user receives a suspicious social media message, email, text, or phone call about Cash App, please contact support through your app, or at cash.app/help to report the incident.
Keep in mind that an online scammer’s ultimate goal is to get your information. When hackers attack a platform they are looking for private data. Con artists that reach out by phone, email, or any method that involves deceit are attempting to get your information.
The scammer needs access to your information because it’s the only way to get your money. People that fall victim to scammers report that when they send them money through the app they are immediately blocked.
