It's a scam. Shopify emails will always come from an address ending in @Shopify.com.

Legitimate corporations use their own branded email domains, not generic ones like Gmail. If you receive an email claiming to be from Shopify but coming from @gmail.com (or any other public domain), it's a scam. Report it as spam and ignore it.

Hope this helps put your mind at ease!

Hi @Creativelayers 

This is definitely a scam! You can report this by forwarding it to safety@shopify.com so Shopify’s security team can investigate. Also, you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account if you haven’t already, just to be extra safe.
