Hi @Ghoulish-Needs,
This email is definitely a phishing attempt.
One things to look out for is when it's not from an official Shopify domain (e.g. @shopify.com).
Here are a few things you can do:
1. Do not click any links or reply to the email.
2. Report the email to Shopify by forwarding it to phishing@shopify.com.
3. Check your Shopify admin dashboard for any compliance notifications. Shopify will always communicate important issues directly through the admin or their official support channels.
Hope this helps!
It seams everyone is getting those phishing emails recently. Definitely a scam, you can see by the email address. Don't reply, just report as someone mentioned in the comments.
