Robinhood Scam Text: What Robinhood Says It Never Asks

Scam guide · Updated October 25, 2026

What the text looks like

A text or email says it is from Robinhood. It might warn about a login, a locked account or a withdrawal, and it asks you to tap a link, call a number or read back a code. Robinhood holds money and crypto, so a message like this is built to make you act before you think.

What Robinhood says it will never do

It also says never to click suspicious links or call phone numbers sent to you by text or email, and to contact Support only through the app or robinhood.com/contact. (Robinhood)
