I made a payment via Apple Pay to a friend by accident. How to get it back?

Good afternoon, days ago I made a payment through Apple Pay to a friend by accident of $185.00 I would like to get it back. I report it but I haven’t heard back. Let me know if anything.

Your "friend" would have to send it back if it was accepted.


  • Apple Cash cannot be refunded if you have been the victim of a scam. There is no buyer protection for Apple Cash. You must report it to the police and report it here - contact us to open a dispute
  • If the scam happened on social media (Facebook/Instagram, etc.) you need to let them know as well.
  • If you have a negative balance on your Apple Cash you need to transfer enough money from your bank account to cover the negative amount. You should also go here - Apple Pay Customers If you reported a scam to your bank they may have illegally initiated an Apple Cash transfer of the amount you were scammed. This is not a refund since it is your money they transferred. Do not report a scam to your bank because they have no authority to interact.
