Got unwanted call from 833-259-0342?
I got several texts from this number saying I had receipts for purchases from a company called Suareup.com. I contacted these people and they said I do not have an account number with them. I think this is a phishing thing.
SCAM!!! Received 2 text back to back from this number. First was a welcome to SMS messages from Square. The second was a receipt from a company several states away. Checked bank account and no transactions for this company. Total scam. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!!
I received a text with a squareup.com link to a receipt from a small business where I had just paid with a credit card. The business had a terminal that looked like an iPad with a card reader. I was given the option of getting a receipt by email, text, or printed, I chose text and entered my mobile phone number. Presumably the receipts people receive from businesses they did not go to are due to people entering the wrong phone number. I doubt Square is scamming or spamming anyone’s phone number. If they did no business would use their terminals. Though someone could spoof Square’s number. So don’t open the link if you haven’t just been to the business named in the text. But if you block the phone number, remember you can’t get a receipt by text from any business using Square terminals.
this is a scam. i got 2 text back to back from Tokyo Grille and Q nails. I checked my bank account first and nothing.. this is def fraud!!! block and delete.
SCAM text message from 833-259-0342 saying view bill from an unknown place. SCAM
Text message to view a receipt from a neighborhood produce store where I had just made a purchase. If it is a store where you just purchased something on a credit card IT IS NOT A SCAM.
Got a text from them about my order from "Oh So Cheesy" Oh So Cheesy is the name of a brand from a store. These fraudsters probably have some sort of triangulation lock on to try to get you to believe that you paid for something from a business around you to click on their link
