Got an email from
agent19 at squarehelpdesk dot com
The email informed me that over 1200 had been taken from my account and 1700 more would be debited in the next few days. The message looked very much like an official email from square. There were two places to click on it that would ostensibly take me to my account.
I did not click on the links.
I forwarded the email to square.
Sigh. It never stops
 
I got this today
