Solved: My account must have been hacked! - Page 4

Divachels · ‎04-02-2016

I woke up this morning and my email address had been changed (not by me). There is not an easy way to get help. I tried to access the website to get a phone number, and it made me create a new account, but the phone lines are closed for the weekend. I tried emailed the help desk and security, but have not received responses. I am panicking, because some Joe Schmo has my bank information and customer listing at his fingertips. I send out invoices at the beginning of each month, and god only knows what is being done in my name. Please help if you have any suggestions!

Hey! Thanks for posting. The phishing scam is completely separate from your payment with Square - it wouldn't benefit us to scam our own customers out of business as we grow when you grow. 🙂

I've merged your post with an existing thread that will help explain how phishing scams work and how you can protect yourself from them.
