"Squarespace Your Account Has Been suspended" Phishing Scams
Squarespace customers who have received "Your Account Has Been suspended" emails like the one below, which claim their accounts have been suspended, are asked not to click on the links in them. This is because the fake emails are being sent by scammers who want their potential victims to click on the links in the same emails that go to phishing websites that will steal their Squarespace's account credentials (usernames and passwords).
Squarespace customers should always go directly to www.squarespace.com and sign into their accounts from there. If there is something that they need to do, they will be notified after signing in.
