Square Fraud Warning - Please be aware of this email scam

I wanted to bring your awareness to a scam email we received targeting Square users. We received an email from [email protected] (masked as from Square) titled: "A customer left you a negative feedback" claiming she had a fraudulent charge on her CC card. The body of the review read: "Why was my credit card ending in 48 debited by your company? A charge of $101.04 was deducted by your company for services/goods I know nothing about!!!"
Below the message was a button to respond which requires login. Of course we did not log in suspecting this was a scam and instead logged directly into our dashboard via Square. Sure enough, there is neither a transaction that aligns with the claim, nor is there a negative review shown in Customer Feedback. Please be cautious if you receive similar messages and never log in via email messages. Has anyone else seen this type of scam?

Scams are getting incredibly outrageous nowadays and they're so exhausting, Texts, calls, emails and post mail. 

 

If some of these people spent their time on a real business instead of scamming, they'd get further in life.
