Just got a call from a gentleman alerting me to my own business info being used on a scam trying to take advantage of people and spoof Square. Behold the email in question. Very little I can do about this (it can happen to you as well). Requires us all to be alert to this garbage.

Has anyone else noticed there seems to be a large increase of spam emails slipping through Hotmail's filters and dropping into the main mailbox recently? I keep reporting them ofc, but it is annoying. O.H has noticed the same on hers, too.
