Learn how to identify and protect yourself from phishing attempts targeting Squarespace users.

Protect your account from phishing attempts by following these guidelines when receiving suspicious emails:

  • Don't click links, download attachments, or reply
  • Forward suspicious emails to [email protected]
  • Include the complete email with headers and subject line

Common signs of phishing scams:

  • Requests for sensitive information (bank details, passwords, SSN)
  • Claims about account risk or verification needs
  • Misspelled sender addresses (e.g., squareespace.com)
  • Suspicious links not leading to www.squarespace.com
  • Emails mimicking Squarespace design
  • HTML attachments
  • Unsolicited account verification requests

Form Block Fraud Prevention:

  • Squarespace never contacts customers through website form blocks
  • Official form submission emails come from [email protected] and [email protected]
  • Review suspicious content warnings carefully
  • Use "Report Spam" for suspicious submissions

Phone Call Safety: Squarespace does not make outbound calls to customers. Be wary of unsolicited calls requesting personal information.
