How can I make sure a Cash App giveaway is real and not a scam?

Copycat giveaways might look and feel like the real thing—but there are some easy ways to tell if the giveaway is for real.

You’ll know the giveaway is a scam if:

  • You’re asked to pay to participate. 

  • You’re asked to share personal or login information in social comments or DMs.

  • The spelling of the account name or url is incorrect.

How to make sure it’s a real Cash App giveaway:

  • Check the website url. We post giveaways on "cash.app" url or reputable partner companies we collaborate with.

  • Check the spelling of the account name. Cash App will only post on its official verified channels on social media via @CashApp.

  • Review the details on the website. All Cash App giveaways will have respective rules with a Cash.App domain that will link back to a url that begins with “cash.app.”
