Start inside Cash App or from Cash App's official help site, not from a search ad, pop-up, random text, or phone number shown in a comment. Cash App publishes a general support number and a separate CFPB settlement inquiry path, but scammers copy the brand and try to intercept worried users.

The official support paths

What happened

The CFPB said Cash App's past lack of live telephone support contributed to fake customer service lines. That history matters because support impersonation is still a common way to steal account access. Cash App now publishes support phone information, but the safest route is still to begin from the installed app or a web address you type yourself.

Before you contact support

  1. Open the Cash App transaction, profile, Cash Card, or settlement notice involved.
  2. Write down the date, amount, recipient, cashtag, email, phone number, and transaction status.
  3. Screenshot the issue before you start a chat or call.
  4. Use the app or official Cash App Help page to start contact.
  5. If the contact is about the CFPB settlement, use Cash App's CFPB settlement page or the CFPB-listed phone/email.

Warning signs of a fake Cash App support contact

  • They called or texted first and pressured you to act immediately.
  • They ask for your Cash App PIN, passcode, sign-in code, full card number, or remote access.
  • They ask you to send a test payment, buy gift cards, move crypto, or pay a service fee.
  • The phone number appears only in a search ad, social post, image, or forum comment.
  • The message says a logo proves it is official.

What not to do

Do not keep talking to a suspicious contact while you "check one more thing." Break contact first. Then open Cash App, your bank statement, the CFPB page, or a state AG page yourself. If you already shared a code or PIN, change your credentials, secure your email account, review recent activity, and contact official support from inside the app.
