Never use your thumb print for financial apps.

I learned a hard lesson last year. I went to a club and met some new people and they seemed pretty chill. As the club is starting to close down one woman in the group of new faces has been flirting and chatting me up for the past few hours. The music cuts off and she asks me for my number so we can connect another time and I give her my number. She makes a comment about how she will call me later and I replied How will I know it's you calling? She says her # out loud and winks at me and says she didn't see me writing that down. I get my phone out amd put her info down and show her as im about to save her in my contacts and she says you spelled my name wrong. I started to apologize when she says here let me just fix that for you. Ok cool. Hand her my phone amd continue talking with the group. She says oops, I took to long and your screen timed out. Here unlock it again. So I push my thumb down on my screen amd unlock it. She toes for a few seconds amd says here ya go sweetie, call me. Then she leaves. I head home and as im plugging my phone in, I see the cash app notification.

Im dead ass here guys, this woman sent herself $1000 in the 30 seconds she had my phone. Amd the account was for someone out of the USA so im screwed.

Lesson learned. Pin # stays for all banking amd money related apps. I'm lucky she didn't send my bitcoin wallet to herself.

Edit: Update: I'm seeing her tonight! And yes she sent the $ right back. She explained that it was her guarantee I would call. We agreed to meet tonight so she can apologize in person and offer an explanation for her actions. I agreed and picked a place I know everyone working from the bouncers to bartenders. It doesn't hurt to be cautious.

Final update: For some reason my comments answering some of the questions are not showing, so I'll try this route. The incident happened summer 2024. I was distracted and too trusting and did have a woman cashapp someone $1000 from my account. She put a bogus number in my phone and I never heard from her or saw her again. My bank made it right and I learned my lesson. Recently my teenager was sent $500 by a man in his late 50s asking if she would be open to meeting him in person. I sponsor my kids account since she's not 18 yet and noticed the large pending deposit and denied it. I contacted the local police and the state is pressing charges on multiple felonys. When I spoke with my kid, she explained she wasn't going to ever meet this man. I asked her to explain her thought process and she explained that he was trying to gain her trust by sending money. I asked if she thought if a woman had done the same with me, would I be safe? She seemed unsure so she and I came up with the alternate ending where I agreed to meet this woman and I posted it here. Let me say, you beautiful people didn't disappoint me. Between the comments and direct messages saying don't fucking do it dude, my kid got the point.

Believe what you want to, makes no difference to me. You don't know me and I don't know you, so what do I care if you believe me.
