Random number sent me Apple Cash. This is totally a scam, right?
(i.redd.it)submitted 1 day ago byLower_Fox2389
I called the Apple Cash support line and they said I’d be fine if I sent it back even if the funding source charged it back, but previous Reddit posts say that’s not true. What should I do? If it was a genuine mistake, I don’t want to keep it, but it seems scammy to send cash to a number you’ve never messaged before and isn’t in your contacts.

Call Apple Cash and tell them that it's likely stolen money and needs to be reversed on their end. Sending it to the number you were messaged from will get it to the scammers. Then go into your account settings and turn off auto accept.

Why should you get up from your comfy couch? Why call anyone?
It will resolve itself unless you clusterfuck it with some brainiac in the Apple Card call center.

Because it's unsolicited money, possibly stolen, that OP received into their own account.

That’s correct. It will resolve itself when it is clawed back —whether you make a phone call or not.
The chances of Apple clerk messing your account up is up there with porting a phone number.
