If your statement shows transfers you did not make, tell Robinhood at once. If you do not tell it within 60 days after the statement was mailed or otherwise made available, you may not get back money lost after the 60 days if Robinhood can prove it could have stopped the loss had you told it in time. If a good reason, such as a long trip or hospital stay, kept you from telling it, the time periods are extended.
