cash app stoled my money

I am sorry to hear that you have to learn it the hard way. The operation of the scam may not be obvious for those who are desperately in need of help. The desperation and/or stress will blind them from their good judgment. As a result, they will comply and lose their money.

In this scam, there are a few things that don't make sense. First, there is a minimum limit of refunding for this kind of service. Refund is a refund, and there should never be a minimum limit. If there really is a minimum of refund, there should be a written statement and the person from the company should be able to point out to the document.

Second, the amount of minimum refund. This makes no sense that it has to be $200. If there ever be a minimum refund, it should be less than $50, but still, it shouldn't be any at all.

Third, the involvement of additional money via Google card. This is very obvious that it is a scam. The reason is that it is unrefunable money if the payment is via a third party. It is similar to you handling cash to someone and hope that the someone is going to do what you want. No chance.

Last, the time limiation doesn't make sense with the method of adding money. If the process requires short limited period of time, normally credit card process would be more appropriate. However, never use or give your credit card information via phone calls. It must be via a form of some sort that you can cancel or charge back if something goes wrong.

Anyway, yes it is scam and you should report it to Google. Sadly, you may not be refunded from the scam.
