Yesterday afternoon, a wave of complaints surfaced about texts claiming an order was ready at a nearby eatery, even though the recipients never placed a purchase. The messages usually cite Square as the sender and include a link to view the order. Most analysts agree the number belongs to Square’s bulk‑SMS service, so a simple typo or an unrelated merchant’s customer list can trigger these alerts. Do not click any links; instead, verify directly with the restaurant or through your own Square account if you have one. Deleting the message and blocking the number adds an extra layer of protection against potential spam or phishing attempts.
