Hi @Junaid5 

 

If I send you an email from  taylorswift98@gmail.com  with a link to the next tour free tickets, would you click? 😄

 

So a big no, Shopify would never send an email from Gmail account. There are a lot of, same or similar, scams here on forum. Every day there are a few

topics created and if you search you can find out that scammers first get you to click the link to "private" support on Telegram. First, by just doing that 

your email is added to scammer good email lists and will send you more scams. Then support finds a "big" problem with your store and requires access to fix it. From there they could just charge you for "work" and fix the issue where is none. They could steal some data and a lot more. They could also tell you your computer is hacked and again get access, fix it, offer some software subscription, and so on.

 

So report any email like that, do not click any links, and do a Google search for some wording used in those emails.

 

Stay safe.

 

 

Kind regards
