    Make the apps boring to a scammer.

    What to do

      • Turn on PIN / biometric confirmation for every payment
      • Switch funding to a credit card where possible (more protection)
      • Restrict who can request money from you (followers/friends only)
      • Set per-payment alerts and weekly limits
