How can I verify that an email I received is fake?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: This email from square looks fake

I got this email but the address looks weird. I did click on it to "verify" but the link was broken. How can I actually verify that this is real/fake?

This is very likely a fake.  Please see my reply to the same question from earlier by clicking here.

Thanks @GlassJudy! 

@bradymiguel You're correct, it looks like this email wasn’t sent by Square. Please forward the email to spoof@squareup.com so the right team can take a look. You can read more about how to identify and report phishing scam emails in our Support Center too.
