Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/21 I had approx 200 transactions of small amounts back to back which amounted to almost {$1800.00}. Since I was at work I did not see the notifications until my account had been cleaned out. I immediately canceled my card and contacted customer care. First of all, customer service for the company Cash app is only online. You can not actually speak to anyone. When you do speak to the reps they have cut and paste responses and give little to no help. Once I was finally able to get through to someone I was assured my claim was escalated and it would take 10 business days for them to accept the claim and then up to 45 calendar days to receive a resolution. Through out the course of this time they do not reach out or provide any type of communication and each time I reached out I received the same generic response that they do not have an update and I will receive an email once they did. We are now past those quoted dates and I still have not been given any type of response. Im beyond frustrated with the lack of communication and care this financial institution has for its customers. The fraudulent transactions were obviously fraud, and when you look at their website they claim to have security measures in place. This company needs to work on their customer service, they need physical phone lines available for those who have experienced fraud and they need security measures in place that wont let 200 fraudulent, suspicious charges take place on your account in less then an hours time.
