Scams after Cash App Login and its safety tips

Block, Inc. released Cash App on 15 October 2013 in the name of Square Cash. It is a mobile payment service introduced in the United States and the United Kingdom. It permits its customers to send money from one person to another by using its mobile application. Cash App charges a 1.5% fee on every immediate transaction. According to a survey in September 2021, there were 70 million annual transactions which resulted in a gross profit of US $1.8 million. 



If after Cash App Login, you want to keep your account safe then this blog is just for you. We are here to tell you how you can keep your account secure. 

Watch out for Phishing and Scams

There are a few points to keep in your mind making any transaction and some of them are as follows:

  • If a scheme sounds too good to be true, then it is obvious that it is a scam. For example, if it is offering you any reward of cashback for a small payment then you should know that it is not genuine and is trying to scam you.
  • Not every offer you receive in an email is fair and trustworthy. Whenever you receive an email always check if the email you have received is from an official organization or not. The emails sent by Cash App will always have @square.com, @squareup.com, or @cash.app. 
  • The emails of Cash App will always contain a link that will redirect you to Cash App. If any link opens the tab of any other website, then it is a fraud and was not sent by Cash App.
  • When to try to do Cash App Login on any other device which is not your device then make sure to log out of your account in the end.
  • During a Customer Support Service Cash App will not ask you for any personal information such as account passcode, OTP, or any other private account information.

Procedures to Secure your Account

  • Switch on the Security Lock setting in your Cash App. After enabling the security lock Cash App will ask you for verification in the form of Face ID, passcode, or Touch ID every time you will make a transaction. 
  • Enable 2-factor authentication by your email address that is linked to your account. 
  • For the protection of your identity on the Cash App never share your SSN (Social Security Number) with anyone not even with your close ones. Remember that if at any point Cash App asks for your SSN then it is fake because Cash App will never ask you for your SSN.

The Bottom Line

When the Cash App was launched it was just used as a payment app. But as time passed it introduced many new features such as investing in the stock market, and BitCoin trading and it even allowed people who are not even an adult and are aged below 18 to use the Cash App under the guidance of an adult. Therefore, in this blog, we learned about the scams that you may face after Cash App login and its preventive measures.
