someone is trying to send me money rn but it says i cant get it because of this and im not sure if its a scam or not "Check (The transaction has been successful the recipient " " needs to get a voucher card worth of €50 for the bank to know you are the one receiving the money in your account for secure transaction." the email ends with @messaging.squareup.com if that helps

Hi @pigirei thanks for flagging this!

This sounds to be a scam, Square cannot be used for merchants to transfer money. Please do not transfer any funds here or click on any links, and when you can, forward the email to spoof@squareup.com so our teams can take a look and locate the account that sent the message.

Let me know if you have any questions!
