Type of a scam Phishing

I received an email indicating that my company had accepted a payment from a credit card, (through Square) and the customer said it was unauthorized and was disputing it and my the amount would be debited from my account.

1. I don’t even know what Square is so I don’t have an account with them.

2. We don’t take credit cards.

I just want people to be aware of this scam.

The picture of the email would not print in it’s entirety.
