Why Did I Get a Random Cash App Card in the Mail?
There have recently been several allegations of Cash App debit cards being mailed to people who never requested them.
The cards may be part of a scam designed to steal your identity and money, so if you didn’t order them, DO NOT activate or use them.
Although these are genuine Cash App debit cards being sent, scammers are using them to gain access to people’s personal information and money.
Scammers use these cards to register a Cash App account in their name by using your Social Security number rather than your name and address.
If you receive a Cash Card that you did not request, you should immediately notify Cash App.
The good news is that this card or account on its own poses no immediate danger because it’s not activated or connected to any bank account or card.
