Spam Email Claiming to be Square

[Llane2]

The title of this thread has been edited by a Square Moderator from the original: Link to bank?

I got an email asking to relink to my bank account. It looks suspicious. Is it real? The email address sent from is mike_repko@sharpnackdirect.com. Did you send this? Why did you use an email address that is not part of my Square account? Advise please.

Yeah that is not from Square.  You can double check your bank connections in your Square Account Dashboard to be sure.  You can also forward that email to spoof@squareup.com as well.

Hi @Llane2, we are happy you reached out over the Square Community. Welcome!

As @Minion says, this email is not from Square. I would advise to not click on anything associated with it. The only emails we send are from Square approved emails addresses. From taking a quick look at your account, I do not see any pending requests for linking a bank account.

Feel free to give us a call over the phone though and our Customer Success team can double-check everything for you. Our number is 855-700-6000 and we are available between 6 am-6 pm Pacific Time Monday-Friday. You can also contact our Messaging and Email Support Teams here.

Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns in the meantime.
