Regina Smith used what she thought was Cash App, a popular mobile payment service, to direct deposit her paycheck.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A Scottsdale nurse is still figuring out how to pay her bills after she was scammed out of $3,406 three months ago.
Regina Smith used what she thought was Cash App, a popular mobile payment service, to direct deposit her paycheck.
“With Cash App you don’t have to have a bank to get your stuff direct deposit like your checks and different things you want to have paid.”
She’d been using Cash App for a while without any issues, but recently got a new phone.
“I didn’t know how to connect my account to my new phone, so my son and I looked it up and saw a website for Cash App,” Smith explained.
The logo, the color scheme, even the phone number appeared to be the same on the faux website they clicked on, but it wasn’t!
She noticed that the website said Cash App Incorporated only after the crooks took her cash.
“It said Cash App in real big letters and Inc. in little letters.”
