Using payment apps can make paying for items fast and easy. But, scammers can use them to get you give over your money and, unfortunately, you generally cannot get your money back from a payment app scam.  If you make a payment that you didn’t mean to, or realize that you’ve been caught up in a scam, it’s unlikely you’ll receive your money back. 

However, there are ways to cancel transactions that have not yet fully gone through or request a refund from the app service.  Check out this article below to learn about how to cancel payments using PayPal, Venmo, Zell, Cash App, Apple Pay and Google Pay
