PennsylvaniaAmanda Smith spent 3 nights jailed over a CashApp account.
She faces up to 6 years in prison on computer fraud charges.
Smith says a scammer opened the account with her Social Security number, and investigators traced it to her through CashApp’s records.
Block Inc.’s CashApp refuses to give her account information because she cannot prove she owns it.
Her case is still open six months after her arrest.
