Anyone received suspicious/fake payment emails seeming to be coming from square?

YES!  I just received on today saying I have recieved a payment of $3008.

The email is titled 'Authorization on Square'.

They want me to click on the blue button.

It looks VERY authentic, but the amount was not something I would have charged a client, so it caught my attention.

Unfortunately, others will probably think they have charge a customer too much in error and click on it to see what they've done wrong.

Also, it was sent to the old email address that I no longer use for my square account.

I would love to know how to report it to Square so that they can warn other merchants.

Hi @Valerie-Claude and @faithflower — thanks for flagging! ⚠️

It looks like some other sellers noticed the same thing, and received some answers. Check out the reply from Sean and let us know if that helps!

I received one that looked similar to that today. I was also the old email address that I used previously for square.

Sorry to hear about the email, @Bloomingskin. If you still have it in your inbox, forward it to spoof@squareup.com so the appropriate team can take a look. Thanks!
