Apple Card Do I need to accept payment via Apple Cash to make sure it is mine?

[kat.hayes]

Someone sent me some money via Apple Cash and I received it, I want to make sure that there is no way they can cancel it or reverse the payment. Is there something that I need to do to officially accept it?

Thanks

If you have it set to automatically accept then there’s not much the sender can do since Apple Cash is tied to a debit card. Also, there’s usually a warning or notification prior to sending an unknown contact money basically stating once you send it then there’s no take backs.

There’s a lot of scams that sort of do this. A random number sends you Apple Cash tied to a fake account or the text gives you the illusion they sent something. The hope is you feel bad and send the “money” back before trying to move it to your bank but obviously you’re now sending real money.
