I’m sure this isn’t the correct place to post this but I’m having trouble finding a way to report fraudulent activity to shopify.
someone has used my email address to set up a shopify account and activated two step verification so I can’t reset the password and log into the account myself.
doesn’t anyone know the best way to get this account shut down?
thanks.
Hello @Dbrm ,
I'm sorry you have to deal with this; it's very annoying. Here's what to do if someone created a Shopify account using your email address without your consent:
1. Visit Shopify's Account Recovery Form.
2. At the bottom, select I don't have access to this email or account.
3. Provide your email, explanation, and proof (if any) in the form.
The Trust & Safety team at Shopify will examine it.
If necessary, they will close the fraudulent account as part of their investigation and subsequent actions.
You can also chat directly with Shopify Support here: [https://help.shopify.com] if you need assistance more quickly.
I hope this is resolved.
Thank you. I really can’t tell you how frustrating this whole thing has been. It’s impossible to get in touch with anyone at Shopify.
are you able to give me a link to the account t recovery form?
