Is Cash App safe?

Payment apps make sending money easy, but money you send to a scammer is often hard to get back. Federal rules (Regulation E) protect you when someone sends money from your account without permission, including when a fraudster uses login details you were tricked into giving. If you send money yourself to someone, that's treated differently. Only pay people you know and trust.
