All things Shopify and commerce
I've just received an email from a Mike Pace at Shopify with addy akmeo247 from a gmail account, with "Critical Warning" in the title, stating that my account will be closed by Black Friday no less, if I don't make a new payment in an amount that I never accrued.
Normally, I would send this to SPAM and consider it a spoof -- however, after the poorly designed Attestation letter which ended up being legit, I decided to ask here first.
Many thanks.

This is an accepted solution.
This could be a phishing email, to be on the safe side forward the message to Shopify's safety inbox at safety@shopify.com.
Also, if you have doubts, you can contact merchant support, they'll confirm if there are any billing issues on the account.

Thank you for the information, Nick. I've forwarded the email to the address provided, and it automatically opened a ticket. I'll report back here as soon as I hear back.
Thanks again.
@metroretroSounds great, it is better to be cautious, there's a lot of spam going on.
OK, I've just heard back from Jay L. from the safety department (thank you, Jay) and it is indeed a phishing/spoof/fraudulent email.
My deepest thanks to Nick and Jay for their immediate attention and reply.
