What to do if I sent money to a scammer through Apple pay

You gave cash to someone you didn’t know. That’s unfortunate. There is no recovery process for losing cash. If you dropped $50 in the street, who do you contact your bank, the government that issued and printed the cash, the merchant that was nearest the cash?

Sorry for being so blunt, but that is the reality of using a debit card to fund a for a transaction. I’m sorry.

>>How to cancel or dispute a payment

1. Open the Messages app, then open the conversation and tap the payment.
2. Your Apple Cash card will open in the Wallet app. Under Latest Transactions, tap the payment, then tap it again.
3. Tap Cancel Payment.

If you don't see Cancel Payment, the person has already accepted the payment. Try asking the recipient to send the money back to you instead.

It might take 1-3 business days for the money to be refunded, depending on your bank or card issuer.

Apple Cash person to person payments are just like any other private transaction between two people, so only send and receive money with people you know. If you have questions or concerns about a transaction, please contact us.<<
