NOTICE: IF YOU RECIEVE A PAYMENT REQUEST OR INVOICE THAT YOU WERE NOT EXPECTING PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY. I will gladly verify all official invoices/requests and their sources.
I will never: request your bank information, images of personal identification (ID/passport), passwords to accounts, or credit card/check numbers. If someone contacts you requesting these things, please let me know so that I can report them and prevent scammers from using my name/brand in their scams.
Don’t forget to check the senders of emails to ensure they’re coming from official sources, and that the email/invoice was expected.
Emails coming from official sources (like myself) will usually come from:
- lockstockandspoonies@gmail.com
- @paypal.com
- @stripe.com
- @zelle.com
- @zellepay.com
- @venmo.com
- @messaging.squareup.com
- @cash.app
- @square.com
- @squareup.com
Emails from official sources should match the above options exactly. Watch out for ones that have small changes in spelling or punctuation. If you get one coming from another source regarding my business, feel free to reach out to me directly to verify it. You can view them in an email by clicking on the contact information and inspecting the email such as this example circled in red here:
