Strange Emails from Square

Just got some strange emails from what is supposed to look like Square, the sign-in link leads to a fake Square sign-in box.

Here's a copy of the email I received from a person named King, Kelly:

Square employee here. Looks like a phishing scam to me, thanks for sharing it.

I don't work on that stuff myself, but you can forward the email to spoof@squareup.com and we'll do whatever we can to take care of it.
