Fraud

If someone used my personal information for this service in order to pay themselves, how do I determine who that person is?

Hey there, @Renaeklein -

I want to make sure I am understanding what you're saying. Someone used your information to sign up for a Square account?

Or was it something a little different? I will keep an eye out for your reply, so we can get to the bottom of this.

Also, for something like this you can reach out to our Support Team right away.

I am having problem with someone who got into my account and set up payroll for himself. Now someone is trying to collect the $40 payroll fee and they want a debit card. This person has also hacked the support from square. I need to print all of my transactional history form the last 2 years (and my clients’ info) b fore I cancel my account. This person is trying to pay himself $8000. Who can I call to discuss this ?

Thank you. I am waiting on one invoice from a client. MI’ve been on several calls w people but It’s still not resolved. When I deactivated the employee as suggested am I now supposed to pay unemployment ? The scammer set up his start date in November and also set up an accoint to pay the IRS taxes. Very sophisticated.
