scammed on Robinhood, getting your money back can be challenging,
but acting quickly gives you the best chance. What you

can recover depends on how
the scam happened (unauthorized access vs. you sending
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520

money yourself).
The first and most
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
important step is to contact Robinhood immediately. Open the
app, go to Help → Contact Us, and request a call or start a chat.
➥

Explain exactly what
happened, including dates, amounts, and any suspicious activity. If the transaction is recent,

they may be able to freeze your account or stop further losses.
Next, you should
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
secure your account right away. Change your password, enable or
reset two-factor authentication (2FA), and log out of all devices.
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
This prevents the
scammer from continuing to access your account.
If the scam involved
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�

unauthorized access (someone hacked your account), report it
clearly as fraud. In some cases, Robinhood may investigate and reimburse losses,
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
especially if it’s proven you didn’t authorize the transactions.
If you sent
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
money yourself (for example, to a scammer or fake investment), recovery
is much harder. These transactions are usually final, especially with
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520

�
crypto.
However, you should still report it to Robinhood in case they can trace or flag the
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
receiving account.
You should also
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
contact your bank immediately if any money was transferred to or
from your bank account. Ask about filing a dispute or reversal,
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
especially if the
transaction was recent. Banks sometimes have more success recovering funds than
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
trading platforms.
Additionally, report the scam to official agencies like:
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520
�
�
FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov)
FINRA or SEC
➥
(+1—833—(435)—5520

(for investment-related scams)
These reports won’t guarantee a
➥

refund but can help with investigations and
protection.
Important reality:
If your account was hacked →

you may have a chance of recovery
If you voluntarily sent money → recovery is unlikely
Crypto transactions

Bottom line:
Act fast, contact

Robinhood and your bank immediately, secure your account, and
report the scam. While refunds aren’t guaranteed, quick action
