5 On Your Side: $1,000 gone from customer's Cash App

Emails alerted Ana Velasquez of the 12 withdrawals of varying amounts.

"When I woke up in the morning, I saw a notification, it said I made a payment to this, I made a payment to this and that," she said.

"My blood just drained, like, what happened," said Velasquez.

She disabled her account, but says requests in all amounts kept coming, the smallest of which was for 39 cents.

"I guess they tried to see if there’s anything in there," said Velasquez. She contacted the company's support team, which sent an email saying it would take at least 60 days to resolve the issue.

So she contacted 5 On Your Side’s Monica Laliberte, who reached out to the tech company.
