Unsolicited Apple Cash and the Demand to Send It Back

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone $18.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Someone sent me Apple Cash from a random number. I googled the number and it comes back to a 40-year-old woman in my area. However, I’ve heard of this scam where someone will send you money then ask for it back, then Apple reverses the charge and now you’re out of the money you sent, so I’m not sending it back. I blocked the number, and now another number is absolutely blowing me up. I’m a pregnant mother who works 10 hours a week, I make $18 an hour. I can’t afford to be scammed out of $20. 💀 So what do I do? Just don’t touch it and ignore the calls? It should disappear soon, right? Should I report it to Apple? Thanks in advance.
