I stopped all communication and deleted everything. I actually bought bitcoin through my Cash app and that’s where I sent the bitcoin to the scammer from. Is Cash App safe? Today I see a cash app pending in my linked bank account. The total is 0.00 but I did not make any transactions. Can this scammer somehow try to get money out of my linked bank account by just sending bitcoin to them from my cash app?I just deleted my linked bank account. I contacted Cash App and they are showing no activity or transactions today to cause that in my linked bank account.
Temporarily unlinking a bank account is a good first step until you know your Cash App account is safe.
CashApp is legit unless someone already has access to your account.
The scammer shouldn't have access to your account like you said you just sent BTC to him unless you sent sensitive information related to your account. If you've shared a code or any other data that could be used for account recovery, such as an SMS verification code, with the scammer there is a big possibility that the scammer has access to your account.
If you sent a code to the scammer you should immediately change your account password and enable 2FA authentication because it gives an extra security layer against unauthorized logins.
Also, contact CashApp support and ask for IP logs to see whether someone was accessing your account from a different IP and device, or ask CashApp help to verify your account security settings to ensure your account is secure.
