tl;dr: Amanda Smith was arrested in Pennsylvania and jailed for three nights over computer fraud charges in Arkansas, after a scammer used her SSN and date of birth to open a CashApp account used to defraud a Facebook Marketplace user of $1,000. Six months later, she's still fighting the criminal case, caught in a catch-22 where CashApp won't release account details because she can't prove ownership of the account she never created. | |
