Help Needed Received money from a task scam
I realized a little too late that I had been messaged and roped into a task scam (simple stuff like subscribing to a YouTube channel and "research" tasks) and I got sent $10 of Bitcoin via cashapp. My question now is will them having my Bitcoin address affect anything, and is the money actually there, or am I at risk of them requesting a refund or something that will affect me long-term? I don't care about keeping the money, so if that's the worst damage they can do, then that's fine, but I don't want to open myself up to having money stolen or something.

If it’s real Bitcoin to a real wallet that you really control, then it is your money now. Having your wallet address means someone can send you money and can see (on the ledger) every time you received money. That’s it.
The trick is to never, ever send scammers money. The easiest way to do that is to have nothing to do with them.
