It’s a high pressure situation in the middle of rush hour traffic. They like to target unsuspecting older white people, and unaware females.

If you get aggressive, they will spit on your window, break your wipers off, and hit your car.

Things can get really ugly if you get out of your car and try to confront them: https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/criminal-justic...

This is not CashApp's responsibility to fix any more than it would be the US Treasury's responsibility to fix if I hand them a $100 bill.

If they ask for $10 and you give them a $100 asking for change yes it is the police's job to fix.

A bunch of their transaction volume is scam money that is hard to reverse, and it’s not Blocks fault as you say.
