hi! So yesterday someone allegedly sent me $2k and I received an email from SquareUp to accept it. It doesn't ask me to make any payment but it asks me to click a link... kinda like a virtual wallet. The emails title is My Business via Square and it says its a pending payment. What do i do? Im scared to click the link

Hello @charliebaldion,
Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum! I can certainly understand why you'd be hesitant when receiving a notification like this. There's no reason to to use 2 different payment processors - Square and PayPal - to complete a single payment. With that in mind, I would not recommend continuing with that transfer. Here are a couple resources you may find useful:
How do I spot a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website?
What are common scams and how do I spot them?
I hope that helps!
