Beware a new (?) scam for square online

Springwood1 — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 09:08:34 GMT

I received an email using my entry form from my website this morning which at first glance appeared to be from Square Live Support. I’ve attached a screenshot so you can see the gist. Note the GMail fake square email address. Just thought community should be aware and know to avoid! And perhaps the real online support can warn account holders?

@Springwood1 Thank you for sharing this. I get the odd email that say its from Square but looks iffy. To be honest unless I have contacted Square support I don't entertain anything that comes through from Square or any company even suppliers, banks etc. Straight on the phone to them if it looks important to check, it's the best policy. 😊
