New phishing email scam?

I got an email out of the blue today from somebody claiming to be from shopify. Of course, the two first names set alarm bells off but then suspicions were confirmed later down the line. Just to confirm - is this definitely a scam? And is this new?

Hi @Tomscott8 ,

 

Yes, it is a scam. No one from Shopify support staff will reach out to you initiating a conversation like they have started in the screenshot.

 

 

Thanks
