Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem — 
Company: Block, Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal complaint against Block, Inc. d/b/a Cash App regarding their refusal to refund an unauthorized electronic funds transfer in violation of Regulation E ( 12 CFR 1005 ). The disputed transaction was the result of social engineering fraud, where I was deceived into taking actions on my phone under the belief that I was communicating with my banks fraud department. 

Timeline of Events : XX/XX/XXXX : I received a phone call from someone claiming to be from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX fraud department. They told me my account had been compromised and that they would walk me through securing it. 

Believing I was speaking with my bank, I followed their instructions on my phone. Unknown to me, these instructions caused {$2400.00} to be transferred from my XXXX XXXX account to Cash App, and then immediately cashed out to the scammers external bank account via a linked debit card. 

At no time did I know or intend for this money to go to a scammer. My intent was to work with what I thought was my bank to protect my account. 

Immediately after : I contacted both XXXX XXXX and Cash App to report the fraud. 
Cash App opened dispute Case # XXXX but denied my claim within about a week, stating the transaction was authorized by you or someone you authorized. 

XX/XX/XXXX : I formally requested all documentation used to determine the transaction was authorized. 

XX/XX/XXXX : Cash App responded by providing a single line from my transaction history : XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX CDT Completed Cash Out {$2400.00} No device data, IP logs, authentication records, or recipient verification was provided. 

Under Reg E 12 CFR 1005.2 ( m ) defines unauthorized electronic fund transfer as a transfer initiated by someone without actual authority, even if the consumer was induced to provide information or take steps.

I did not authorize this transfer to the scammer. My actions were based on false pretenses that I was communicating with my bank to protect my funds. 
My intent was to interact with XXXX XXXX, not to send money to the recipient who received it.

Cash Apps only evidence is that a transaction occurred this is not proof of authorization under 12 CFR 1005.11 ( b ) ( 1 ).

Cash Apps actions have resulted in a permanent loss of {$2400.00} in stolen funds, stress and disruption from dealing with this fraud incident, loss of time spent contacting both institutions and requesting documentation that was never provided in full.

Company response to consumer: Closed with explanation
